We are exactly at the halfway point of the baseball season, though the All-Star Game doesn’t take place until July 15th.
Seems like a good time to do a loser update.
I think we’ve narrowed it down to two teams of significant interest.
The Chicago White Sox are at 26-55, for a .321 winning percentage. By my projections, that works out to 110 losses. Better than last year, and not record setting, but still pretty awful.
The Colorado Rockies are at 18-63, for a .222 winning percentage. As a caliber, .222 isn’t bad, but .224 is better. As a record, that works out to a projected 126 losses, which would be record setting. .222 would also be the lowest winning percentage in the modern (1901 and later) era, beating out the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics.
