The broken nature of a historically bad Rockies team

Related Topics: Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are broken.

On Tuesday night we saw them become the first team in the modern era (dating back to 1900) to trail in 29 consecutive games to begin the year, breaking a record held by the 1910 St. Louis Browns. They finished with a record of 7-22 in their first month of games with 19 of those losses coming in April alone. We saw the Rockies blow a five-run lead in the ninth inning for just the third time in franchise history, ultimately losing a game, in which they were leading 5-0 the entire time behind a stellar pitching performance, 7-6 in extra innings.
