The Arizona Diamondbacks made a statement on Thursday.
Everybody is talking about the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants because of their winter spending sprees, but the D-Backs are the reigning National League champions and showed why on Opening Day.
They obliterated the Colorado Rockies, 16-1, in Phoenix and made history in the process.
14 of the 16 runs were scored in just one inning, the third.
That, as you can probably imagine, is one for the record books.
“HISSSSSTORY. The @Dbacks 14-run inning is the third-most all time in an inning, and the most in a single inning on #OpeningDay,” FOX Sports: MLB tweeted.

Only twice has an MLB team scored more than the 14 runs Arizona had in Thursday’s third inning.
And, of course, no squad has scored 14 or more runs in one frame in the history of Opening Day.
What the D-Backs did on Thursday was a majestic showing of their offensive potential, and more proof that the Rockies are, well, not good.
They are one of the worst teams in baseball, in fact.
A total of 18 hitters had their chance in that inning alone, and Geraldo Perdomo was on deck to hit for a third time in the frame had the inning extended another batter.
Things got so bad for Colorado that Kyle Freeland, their Opening Day starter, conceded a total of 10 runs in just 2.1 innings.
Things will get tougher for Arizona in the future: they won’t face the Rockies’ lousy pitching staff every night.
They are still a talented team with World Series aspirations, and it showed on Thursday.
