The Colorado Rockies, starting the season with a disastrous 7-36 record, are in danger of breaking the single-season loss record. Their performance shows a significant lack of skill and bad luck, as they have the second-worst run differential since 1900 and have performed poorly both offensively and defensively. Analysts are uncertain if the Rockies can avoid marking history, but their combination of losses on the road and home, along with high runs allowed, position them poorly for improvement as the season progresses.
Baseball is a game where seemingly random bursts of bad luck can add up quickly to an undeserved fate.
The Rockies are 2-20 on the road and have lost all 14 series this season.
The Rockies have the 'second-worst run differential through 40 games since 1900,' indicating their performance isn't just bad luck.
