The Colorado Rockies Hit Rock Bottom with Historic 21-0 Loss—Then Their Social Media Team Stole the Show
The Colorado Rockies’ brutal 2025 season hit yet another low point Saturday, courtesy of an absolute dismantling by the San Diego Padres. The game was a one-sided affair that offered joy only to Padres fans, as the Rockies suffered the worst shutout loss in franchise history—a 21-0 thrashing that looked more like an NFL score than a baseball result.
Before Saturday, the Rockies’ worst shutout had been a 17-0 loss to the Florida Marlins back in 1995. This time, the Padres had already surpassed that mark by the fifth inning. They dominated from the first pitch to the final out, leaving Rockies fans numb and baseball pundits stunned.
The Padres’ official account joined in the fun, tweeting “Boy, we had a time tonight!” along with the box score, twisting the knife just a little deeper.
Meanwhile, the Rockies’ social media team went radio silent during the carnage. But after the final out, they finally posted… sort of. Rather than acknowledging the final score, they took a different approach—opting for humor over humiliation.
Borrowing from the now-viral CBS Sunday Morning interview with Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson, the Rockies tweeted simply: “We’re not talking about this,” accompanied by a clip from that interview.
The internet loved it.
Whether the dig was aimed at Belichick and Hudson or just meant to give Rockies fans a much-needed laugh, the response was overwhelmingly positive. One fan called it the “greatest losing tweet of all time.” Others praised it as “phenomenal use of social in a loss” and “10/10, no notes.”
Unfortunately, no amount of wit can cover up the Rockies’ dreadful record—now 6-33 on the season. But at least fans can take solace in the fact that while their team can’t win on the field, they’re undefeated on the timeline.
And hey, that’s something.
