The Colorado Rockies are currently in the midst of a historically poor season, with a record of 8-41, marking the worst start in MLB history after 50 games. Players like Mickey Moniak have turned off social media notifications to avoid the negativity stemming from the team's struggles. Their recent series against the Philadelphia Phillies has been particularly brutal, with the Rockies outscored 25-12 over four games. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer remains optimistic, urging his team to focus on improving daily.

Young pitcher Carson Palmquist faced challenges during his home debut, allowing six runs over 4.1 innings. Despite some bright moments, including a homer from veteran Nick Martini, the Rockies' mistakes, such as errant throws and missed opportunities, have compounded their struggles. Injury updates note that Kris Bryant has been moved to the 60-day IL, while Thairo Estrada is set to return soon from a wrist injury, offering some hope for the team's future.
