Current Record: 18-64

On Pace for: 36-126

Infamy Tracker: Despite finishing a 1-5 homestand and getting swept by the Dodgers in a three-game series, interim manager Warren Schaeffer insisted that the Rockies are “making progress.” Perhaps, but they entered their three-game weekend series at Milwaukee with 63 losses at the midway point of the season, the most losses in the first half in the modern era (since 1901). Then they lost, 10-6, at Milwaukee on Friday night.

Even more discouraging, Colorado owns an 8-32 record at Coors Field, a ballpark that has turned into a home-field disadvantage. Not surprisingly, the Rockies’ 6.22 home ERA is the highest in the majors, but their home offense is not scaring anybody. Colorado’s .247 average ranks 15th, as does its .755 OPS. The Rockies have launched just 37 home runs at home, the eighth fewest in the majors.

Where others were after 82 games: 2024 White Sox 21-61; 1962 Mets 23-59; 2003 Tigers 20-62; 1916 Athletics 19-62 (one tie); 1935 Braves 21-61; 1988 Orioles 25-57; 2019 Tigers 27-55; 1932 Red Sox 16-63; 1904 Senators 17-61 (four ties); 1899 Cleveland Spiders 15-67.

Telling statistics: The Rockies are already 33 1/2 games behind the Dodgers in the National League West. In 2022, they finished 43 games out of first place, the most games out of first in franchise history. The Rockies are almost sure to wipe out that dubious mark.

Coming up: After concluding their three-game series in Milwaukee, the Rockies have Monday off before opening a six-game homestand on Tuesday against Houston at Coors Field. After three games against the Astros, Colorado hosts the White Sox for three games. Yes, those White Sox, who lost 121 games last season.

Player to watch: First baseman Michael Toglia was supposed to be an offensive force for Colorado. It hasn’t worked out that way. After an 11-game stint at Triple-A Albuquerque, he returned to hit better and reached base safely in seven of 11 games since being recalled on June 16, slashing .250/.286/.550 with three home runs and eight RBIs. But after a 0-for-5, three-strikeout night on Friday at Milwaukee, Toglia’s average sat at .199, and his strikeout rate was 39%.
