US EditionRock Bottom? Rockies Try to Avoid Worst Mark over 162-Game Season
DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 17 – The Rockies aim to avoid the worst full-season MLB record while relying on promising draft picks like Ethan Holliday to boost their future lineup.
- On Friday, the Colorado Rockies open the second half at Coors Field against the Twins with a 22-74 record, putting them on pace for 125 losses.
- Amid deep-rooted struggles, interim manager Warren Schaeffer took over on May 11 after the firing of Bud Black.
- Amid rebuilding, Ethan Holliday headlines the draft buzz, a potential game-changer for the Rockies, while Zac Veen has found his groove in Triple-A; nine players debuted this season, including Yanquiel Fernandez and Ryan Ritter.
- A lot of downs, said Mickey Moniak, as the Colorado Rockies average 30,128 fans at Coors Field this season while trailing the NL West-leading Dodgers by 35 1/2 games.
- With the trade deadline less than two weeks away, several high-profile trades are likely on the table, and the Rockies must finish 41-25 to avoid a third straight 100-loss season.
