Another Sunday at Coors Field, another lopsided loss. The Colorado Rockies were dismantled 13-5 by the New York Mets, completing a season sweep and marking the second time in a week the club has been swept. The loss drops the Rockies to a staggering 12-53 record, cementing their status as the worst team in baseball and leaving fans wondering just how low this season can go.
The Rockies fell to a league-worst 12-53 record, cementing their status as the worst team in baseball.
Sunday's game felt less like a contest and more like batting practice for the visitors. The Mets launched six home runs, with Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each hitting two apiece. Starter Cal Quantrill was shelled, unable to keep the ball in the park as the Mets' offense, led by Juan Soto reaching base six times, ran wild. A three-run homer from Hunter Goodman provided a fleeting moment of excitement for the home crowd, but it was a drop in the bucket against the deluge of Mets runs. The pitching staff's inability to contain any lineup, especially at home, has become the painful theme of this 2025 season.
The on-field struggles inevitably lead to questions about the dugout. The Rockies' unconventional approach of splitting managerial duties between Bud Black (7-33) and Warren Schaeffer (5-19) has done little to stem the tide. While a novel idea, the results speak for themselves. With the team on pace for one of the worst seasons in modern baseball history, the entire organizational philosophy is under the microscope. The search for answers continues, but so far, no solutions have been found at 20th and Blake.
For fans desperate for a reason to be optimistic, the only place to look is down on the farm. While the major league club falters, the prospect pipeline offers a glimmer of hope. Charlie Condon, the 2024 No. 3 overall pick who signed for a record bonus, is developing as hoped. Outfielder Yanquiel Fernandez is tearing it up at Double-A and is a strong candidate for a late-season call-up, giving fans a potential preview of the future. Add in Robert Calaz, who dominated the Arizona Complex League, and you have a trio of bats that could one day change the narrative at Coors Field. Right now, their development is the most important story for the franchise.
While the present is bleak, the future is all the Rockies have. The remainder of the 2025 season will be a painful watch, but the real focus shifts to the minor leagues. The development of players like Condon, Fernandez, and Calaz is paramount. For now, fans must endure the losses and hold out hope that the talent brewing in the farm system can eventually lead the team out of this historic darkness.
