The Colorado Rockies are off to one of the worst starts in MLB history

The Colorado Rockies have just six wins through 34 games this season, one of the worst marks ever.

The Colorado Rockies’ view up the National League West Division is as steep as the mountain range in their name.

With the month of May just days old, the Rockies are 6-28 and already a whopping 17.5 games out of first place — by far MLB’s greatest deficit — and playing a brand of terrible baseball rarely seen in the past century.

Colorado has already had separate eight-game losing streaks and a six-game slide. After taking back-to-back games last week for the team's first winning streak this season, Colorado returned to its losing ways with three consecutive setbacks in San Francisco.

The Chicago White Sox, coming off a 2024 campaign that's regarded as the worst in modern baseball history, are off to another terrible start at 10-25. However, they're still considerably more competitive than Colorado at a mere 12 games back in the American League Central.

Colorado's poor play stems from both sides of the 60 feet and 6 inches between home plate and the mound.
