MLB fans react to Rockies' 21-0 loss to Padres: 'Sell the team'

The Colorado Rockies faced a historic defeat on Saturday during a game against the San Diego Padres, losing 21-0 at Coors Field. This loss marks the worst shutout in the history of the Rockies franchise and adds to an already disappointing start to their 2025 season. With a dismal record of 6-33, the Rockies currently hold the worst performance in Major League Baseball (MLB) this year. The lopsided scoreline resembled more of a football game, and the Rockies' home crowd was notably outnumbered by Padres fans, who made their presence felt. As the Rockies struggled on the field, social media platforms were abuzz with reactions from fans and observers who were shocked by the team's performance. Many Rockies supporters expressed their frustration, with some even chanting "Sell the Team, Sell the Team" from the stands, a sentiment directed at team owner Dick Monfort. The Rockies have not enjoyed a winning season since 2018, and the last two seasons have seen the team lose over 100 games each year. Woody Paige, a seasoned columnist for the Denver Gazette, weighed in on the situation, recalling Monfort's pre-season statement where he optimistically claimed that the Rockies could have the best defense in baseball history. However, the reality has been starkly different, with the team leading the league in errors and ranking last in fielding percentage. Paige sarcastically suggested that Monfort should return to Greeley, Colorado, taking the team's poor performance with him. The frustration among fans was palpable. One young fan held a sign reading, "My arm is rested if needed!" indicating the desperation for improvement. Social media users were vocal, with one suggesting that the Rockies be demoted to Triple-A, while another called for MLB intervention, comparing the situation to the McCourt era with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The controversial trade of star player Nolan Arenado was pointed to as a critical moment that signaled the beginning of the end for the team's competitiveness. Despite the dismal performance on the field, the game still attracted a significant number of fans. When Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a three-run homer making the score 19-0, the crowd was still engaged, even participating in the wave. This prompted some to argue that the Rockies' ownership has little incentive to sell the team when fans continue to attend games, enjoying the stadium atmosphere of good weather and refreshments despite the team's lackluster performance. A passionate fan urged fellow supporters to stop attending games to send a clear message to the ownership, suggesting that continued attendance only perpetuates the current situation. Meanwhile, the Rockies' social media team has tried to maintain some levity amidst the turmoil, though the challenges on the field remain. Rockies manager Bud Black was seen in the dugout with his head down during the game, a visual representation of the team's current state. Currently, the MLB record for the most losses in a single season is 121, set by the Chicago White Sox in 2024. With the Rockies' current trajectory, they appear to be on a path that could rival this unfortunate record.
