Find out how the Colorado Rockies faced a record-breaking defeat on their opening day against the Arizona Diamondbacks!

The Colorado Rockies kicked off their season with high hopes but ended up facing a disastrous opening day against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In a soul-crushing third inning, the Rockies made franchise history by giving up a whopping 14 runs and 13 hits - setting a new low for the team. This defeat marked one of the worst opening days in the Rockies' history, leaving fans in shock.

After the Rockies' worst season in 2023, where they set a record for the most losses in a season, the 2024 opening day only added to their woes. The Arizona Diamondbacks, on the other hand, celebrated a record-setting opener with a 14-run third inning, showcasing their explosive start to the season.

Despite the anticipation surrounding the Rockies' season, the reality hit hard as they suffered a humiliating 16-1 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks. Fans and analysts were left questioning the team's performance and whether they can bounce back from such a devastating start.

As the Rockies continue to navigate the challenges of the season, the comparison between their struggles and Charlie Brown's attempts to kick the football reflects the unpredictable nature of baseball. With the season just beginning, the Rockies face an uphill battle to turn their fortunes around and redeem themselves in the eyes of their disappointed fans.
