MLB fans react to Rockies' 21-0 loss to Padres: 'Sell the team'

The on-field product has been atrocious all year, as their 6-33 record is by far the worst in MLB. But a football score was on the board at Coors Field, and the Rockies fans in the stands, who were vastly outnumbered by Padres supporters, were chanting for change.

"The Rockies are losing 19-0 at the bottom of the fifth," one X user posted. "The crowd is chanting, 'Sell the Team, Sell the Team.'"

It's not the first time Rockies owner Dick Monfort has heard chants to sell his team, as they haven't had a winning record since 2018, losing over 100 games in each of the last two seasons. 

Longtime Denver Gazette columnist Woody Paige gave his take after watching Saturday's game.

A young kid held up a sign in the stands that read, "My arm is rested if needed!" showing how desperate fans are to see a good product. 

"Send the Rockies to Triple-A," another X user posted. 

"Leagues should step in and take teams from inept ownership, McCourt style," another wrote. "Rockies ownership is just not worthy of having that team anymore. The [Nolan] Arenado trade was the absolute end."

One fan gave a perspective on why Monfort would never sell. 

"It's 20-0 #Padres in the sixth inning and fans are doing the wave having the time of their lives," an X user posted. "This is why the Monforts won't sell the #Rockies. Fans don't care. Good weather, beer, etc. Pathetic for a true baseball fan."

One of those true baseball fans urged Rockies supporters to stop going to games after watching last night. 

"As a Colorado native it is absolutely embarrassing that people still go to the games then complain how bad they are," he wrote. "…YOU ARE THE REASON THE MONFORTS WONT SELL. STOP ATTENDING AND GIVING THEM MONEY."

In the end, at least the Rockies' social media team is trying to find a way to make light of the situation. 

The MLB record for most losses in a single year - 121 - was set by the Chicago White Sox in 2024. 

The Rockies appear headed to rivaling that woeful record.
