The Rockies are enduring a historically bad season, on pace for a staggering 26-136 record, potentially surpassing the 121 losses of the 2024 White Sox. With a minus-137 run differential, they are being outscored at alarming rates, leading to a 12-blowout loss count this season. Their 2-20 road record and a recent 21-0 loss highlight a team in disarray, already 21.5 games behind the Dodgers in a tough division.

To avert a historic collapse, Colorado needs key players, like shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, to return to form, while Brenton Doyle and Thairo Estrada must rebound from slumps. Rookie pitchers Chase Dollander and Carson Palmer must meet expectations amid a challenging schedule, and interim manager Warren Schaeffer must maintain team morale amidst the adversity.
