Record before Friday night: 20-67

On pace for: 37-125

Infamy Tracker: The Rockies entered their weekend series at Coors Field against the White Sox, the very franchise they are on pace to trump for the most losses in modern MLB history, with a dreadful 9-34 home record. The Sox lost 121 games last season to set the major league record for futility and came into the weekend set on pace to finish this season 52-110.

The Rockies had lost 27 times after holding a lead at some point in a game and had the worst team ERA in the majors (5.50) and highest average against (.292). To make matters worse, the Rockies have the lowest fielding percentage in the majors (.977).

As bad as the Rockies have been this season, they haven’t endured the futility streaks Chicago dealt with last season. The Sox had three losing streaks of at least 10 games in 2024, including a franchise-record 21-game losing streak from July 10 to Aug. 5. That slide matched the AL record established in 1988 by the Baltimore Orioles. Colorado’s longest losing streak this season is eight games, but they have done it four times.

Where others were after 87 games: 2024 White Sox 24-63; 1962 Mets 24-63; 2003 Tigers 22-65; 1916 Athletics 19-67 (one tie); 1935 Braves 22-65; 1988 Orioles 28-59; 2019 Tigers 28-59; 1932 Red Sox 21-66; 1904 Senators 18-65 (four ties); 1899 Cleveland Spiders 15-72.

Telling statistics: Last season, the White Sox finished last in the majors in hits, runs, home runs and walks. The 2025 Rockies rank 25th, 26th, 24th and 29th in those categories, respectively. The White Sox won two of three games over the Rockies last season in Chicago at the end of June.

Coming up: After concluding their three-game series vs. the White Sox, the Rockies hit the road for a six-game trip before the All-Star break. They play three games in Boston, beginning Monday, have a day off, then play three in Cincinnati.

Player to watch: Third baseman Ryan McMahon, the subject of trade rumors again this summer, has not produced at the plate as the Rockies hoped. His defense is still Gold Glove worthy, but he entered the weekend slashing .213/.314/.382 with 12 home runs, 25 RBIs and a 32% strikeout rate.
