The Rockies go on vacation carrying the baggage of a 22-74 record. Colorado’s 74 losses before the All-Star break are the most since 1933, the year of the first All-Star Game. Colorado surpassed the 2024 White Sox, who were 27-71 at the break.

Charlie Condon, a college walk-on, made himself a top MLB prospect. With the Yard Goats, he’s a phone call away from the needy Rockies.

Clint Hurdle managed the Colorado Rockies in 2005 when they lost 95 games and finished in last place. They won the National League pennant two years later and were swept by the Red Sox in the World Series.

The Rockies have the fourth overall pick in the first round, giving them a chance to select a player who could, perhaps, become a star.

Colorado signed Torrealba for the 2006 season, with him serving as its primary catcher for the run to the 2007 World Series. Torrealba was a respectable hitting catcher, batting .258 across his four seasons with the Rockies (2006-09), while posting 8 DRS behind the plate in 2007. He returned to the Rockies in 2013, his final MLB season.

The Colorado Rockies are a franchise in desperate need of positive vibes, so potentially going above and beyond in the 2025 MLB draft for Ethan Holliday would be a good starting point.

In a season full of rocky losses, the Rockies’ 4-3, walk-off loss to the Reds on Saturday was one of the rockiest.

Austin Gomber (0-2, 5.92 ERA) will pitch for the Rockies in this final game of the first half. In his last outing against the Boston Red Sox on Monday, Gomber was tagged with the loss after allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits with one walk and a season-high five strikeouts in just 4 2 ⁄ 3 innings.
