Colorado Rockies Suffer Worst Shutout Loss in MLB History

The Colorado Rockies are enduring a historically dismal MLB season, highlighted by a humiliating 21-0 loss to the San Diego Padres, their worst shutout defeat in franchise history. The team's 6-33 record ties the modern-era record for the worst start through 39 games, with performance issues spanning pitching, hitting, and fielding, including a franchise-record six consecutive games allowing eight or more runs. Fans have voiced intense frustration on social media and at games, chanting for ownership to sell the team and demanding MLB intervention, reflecting deep dissatisfaction with the Monfort family’s management. Analysts and commentators have sharply criticized Rockies ownership and management, citing the 2021 Nolan Arenado trade as a turning point in the team's decline. Despite the poor performance, some fans remain at games, highlighting a complex mix of loyalty and despair. General manager Bill Schmidt acknowledged the team's struggles but urged perseverance toward future improvement.
