“Another year of this absolute clown show” - Rockies fans express frustration following humiliating Opening Day loss to Diamondbacks

The Colorado Rockies are coming off one of their worst MLB Opening Days ever. The Colorado Rockies suffered a humiliating Opening Day loss to the Diamondbacks, surrendering 16 runs and scoring only one. The team's offense and defense were criticized by fans, who believe this season will be another disaster for the team. Kyle Freeland was particularly unimpressed, giving up 10 hits, 10 earned runs, and one walk in two-plus innings. Manager Bud Black acknowledged Freeland's poor performance and attributed it to a change in pitch movement. The Rockies hope to bounce back stronger in their second game, having not made the playoffs since 2018.

Colorado Rockies defense crumbles as Kyle Freeland struggles on the mound

The Rockies' defense crumbled as they failed to restrict the D'backs from scoring. There were plenty of mistakes on the field as the ball slipped through the gloves of fielders. As for Kyle Freeland, it was a terrible start in his career.

Freeland was rocked against the Diamondbacks' offense and was forced to get out of the mound. He allowed seven consecutive batters to reach home plate for the first time in his MLB career. He gave up 10 hits, 10 earned runs, and one walk in two-plus innings.

Manager Bud Black said it was a tough outing for Freeland and that his pitching was rather different from his usual movement.
