Tue May 13 03:10:00 UTC 2025: **Rockies Suffer Historic Defeat, Fan Outrage Mounts**
DENVER, CO – The Colorado Rockies suffered their worst defeat in franchise history on Saturday, a 21-0 shutout loss to the San Diego Padres at Coors Field. The lopsided defeat, which saw the Rockies’ record fall to a dismal 6-33, fueled already simmering fan discontent, with chants of “Sell the Team” echoing through the stadium.
The game, described by many on social media as unbelievable, prompted widespread criticism of team owner Dick Monfort. Longtime Denver Gazette columnist Woody Paige called Monfort “delusional,” citing the team’s league-leading errors and last-place fielding percentage, contrasting this with Monfort’s pre-season prediction of a historically great defense. Fans displayed signs expressing their frustration, with one child’s sign reading, “My arm is rested if needed!”
While some fans noted the continued attendance despite the blowout, others argued that this only emboldened the ownership. One user stated, “This is why the Monforts won’t sell…Fans don’t care. Good weather, beer, etc.” Conversely, other fans urged fellow supporters to boycott games to pressure the ownership into making changes. The team’s current trajectory puts them on pace to challenge the MLB record for most losses in a single year, set by the Chicago White Sox in 2024 (121 losses). The Rockies’ abysmal performance and the passionate, negative reaction from fans dominate the conversation following this historic loss.
