Longest Losing Streak You've Seen

blink · 12-05-2020, 05:27 PM

I'm in 2024 playing OOTP20 and the Oakland A's are in the midst of a terrible season. Currently sitting at 37-77 the A's are suffering through a 19 game losing streak.

What is the longest losing streak you've seen in your game?

Ouch, that's bad. Across the bay, my 2019 Giants went 11 games without a win and finished dead last in the NL West. Doing better this year (2020) thank goodness. Almost at .500

i had a 12 gm losing streak for the Philadelphia Athletics in the league i recently retired. Amazingly, they were still in the wild card race. that old computer housing the game was on it's last legs and i didn't move the league over to the new computer i got at the end of the summer. Come to think of it, i didn't even finish that season.

23 games by an expansion team that went 39-121 for the season.

In my 1977 Mets replay the Atlanta Braves are off to an 0-20 start.

The year I was GM of the 1914 A's who won the pennant in real life I think I had a losing streak that stretched into the 30's. That was a forgettable year.

I just had a team in my Random Debut historic league start the season 20-14, before dropping 22 in a row.

I had a 29-game losing streak in an online league a few years ago. After winning a game we lost something like 7 or 8 more games before finally turning it around again

I am almost sure the Raccoons had a 14-game losing streak in one of their dire periods, but I would be hard pressed to find that now. I usually only take note of the good stuff and sing LA-LA-LA at everything else.

Then again, I just started a 1962 Mets replay, and so far they haven't done worse than a pair of 9-game losing streaks. But it's only May so far

In 1878, the Ingenieros de Rincón managed to start their season off by losing forty straight games.

Somehow, I completely failed to notice it at the time, even though I normally keep track of the last winless and lossless teams.

I'm pretty sure some of my expansion teams have done 25+ in years they've lost 120+, as I usually do my best/utmost to lose 115+ games for the first four seasons in any expansion team game I play.
