Rockies’ Historic 21-0 Loss to Padres Sparks Fan Fury and ‘Sell the Team’ Chants

The Colorado Rockies hit rock bottom on Saturday, suffering a jaw-dropping 21-0 shutout loss to the San Diego Padres at Coors Field, the worst in franchise history. The Padres unleashed a relentless offensive onslaught, leaving Rockies fans outnumbered and chanting, "Sell the team!" as their team’s 6-33 record cemented their place as MLB’s punching bag.

Social media erupted with frustration. One fan posted, "The Rockies are losing 19-0 in the fifth, and the crowd’s begging for new ownership." Denver Gazette’s Woody Paige didn’t mince words, slamming owner Dick Monfort’s pre-season boast of a historic defense: "Rockies lead MLB in errors and stink at fielding. Go back to Greeley, Dick."

Fans’ desperation was palpable. A young boy’s sign read, "My arm is rested if needed!" while others called for the Rockies to be demoted to Triple-A. Some pointed to the Nolan Arenado trade as the moment the franchise lost its soul. Yet, despite the score, Coors Field still had fans doing the wave, sipping beers, and enjoying the sunny weather—a fact one X user lamented: "This is why Monfort won’t sell. Fans keep showing up."

With the Chicago White Sox’s 121-loss record from 2024 looming, the Rockies seem on track to challenge that dubious mark. For now, their social media team is left grasping for humor in a season that’s anything but funny.
