what team will post the worst record in 2025?

The Balboas.

They have zero signs of life, rolling over at every opportunity but most importantly the fact that they play in the strongest division in the game.

without checking current records i would guess the chisox or the rockies, the two teams that really have no consistently good players. the other teams in the poll strike me more as mediocre than awful. maybe the angels are a contender though?

ok i checked and the angles are a .500 team right now but i could still see them losing a bunch of games

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The Colorado Rockies (5-25) defeat the Atlanta Braves to avoid setting the National League record for the worst 30-game start in NL history.

according to sam miller, every other team in the NL West *has* 26 wins while the rockies are on pace for 26 wins

they are so bad...

They are #27 in offense despite playing half their games in a helium filled bandbox.

they're very close to having allowed twice as many runs (323) as they've scored (164)

Rockies have half as many wins as...the Orioles.

Rockies on pace to lose 136… must be a fun clubhouse atm

I'd almost rather be a Rockies player than a Rockies broadcaster. (For one thing, it would pay better.) Imagine trying to find silver linings every day.

It’s pretty amazing how awful they are, it doesn’t even seem like they have anyone who’s hitting consistently well at home.

I was looking at the BRef page yesterday, and the two guys that seem like they might be desirable to other teams are Jordan Beck and Jake Bird--guys with J.B. as their initials thrive there.

10 days ago the A's looked not bad (~.500) but noticed they've dropped 9 in a row.

saw this comment on defector:

"The NL west is a combined 121-127.

Four of the five teams are over .500."

hahaha owwwww

Honestly shocked at how bad they are.

Worst 50-game start since the 1895 Louisville Colonels (7-43)! (Whose best player was HOF'er Fred Clarke, just getting started at the time.)

run differential of -159 should not even be possible that means on average they're getting outscored by more than 3 runs A GAME

Chase Dollander is probably going to be a good pitcher but he’s not going to develop at all there

In five of the Rockies’ wins, they’ve won by 1 or 2 runs.

they beat the yankees!

If they win tomorrow, that's called two in a row!

3 in a row baybee... signs of life!

Meanwhile the Las Vegas Athletics of Sacramento are in a freefall having dropped 8 in a row.

The Rockies have been eliminated from playoff contention.

The Barves who were the #3 preseason MLB favorite to win the WS are keeping company in the basement with the rest of the teams in this poll.

They’re in danger of becoming the first AL or NL team since the start of the 20th century to finish the season without a single hitter producing at a league-average level or better.

They've won 4 in a row tyvm!

Anemic offense is fine if you've got some of the best pitchers in MLB (waiting to be scooped up by the Yankees/Dodgers)
