Eighteen games into the freefall that is the 2025 season, the Rockies finally pulled the cord on the parachute. It may be too soon to know if the parachute works, but at least they did something to slow the death spiral.
On Thursday, with a 3-15 record and ranking 30th in runs (52 for 2.89 per game) and 29th in strikeouts (195 for 10.83 per game), the Rockies fired hitting coach Hensley “Bam Bam” Meulens. Meulens was hired in 2023, just in time for the Rockies to record their two worst seasons in franchise history.
