PrintLos Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies, Jul 21, 2008 7:05 PM MDT
Kip Wells makes his return to the majors tonight, his first start since the second Opening Day and his first appearance since April 28. It goes without saying, but a good start in Wells' return would be huge. The Dodgers are 2-1 at Coors Field this season and 6-3 overall against the Rockies. It would be nice to see that at 6-6 after Wednesday's afternoon game (but I'm getting ahead of myself).
Let's see the Rockies get the better of Eric Stults tonight!
Go Rockies!

Starting
for the Dodgers tomorrow will be Clayton Kershaw, who will be recalled from Double-A to do so. Jason Johnson had been scheduled to start.

After the game:
Kip Wells’ quote: “Well, I didn’t make quality pitches, but I’m still good, so they should definitely keep me in the rotation. Because you all know I deserve to be a starter. So there.”

Kip "What the hell?" Wells
I live out of market but hear from many sources outside of the Rockies community about how stocked the farm system is. Is there no one who can deliver a performance equal to that of Wells such as Baker?
Another question..why would Hurdle leave Wells in that long?
What’s with the fail theme. Is that an inside joke?
InToddwetrust
Can't answer the first question
But as to the other two…
Hurdle apparently operates on a different plane than the rest of the world. You’ve no doubt seen the term HurdleLogic here on the Row. It’s all we can figure.
As for the Fail theme…well, it’s not really an inside joke, just the general theme of this lost season. Much failure all around.
Put me out of my misery. Please!

"Keep your head down, and inch toward daylight." - Blade of Tyshalle
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
I'm OK with....
....mediocre 4th and 5th starters. I mean, guys like Brian Bohannon or Josh Fogg never shut anyone down, but they at least kept you in games. The problem with Wells, DLR and Redman is that they get blown up and suddenly you find yourself down by 7 or 8 runs.
Is major league pitching so thin that we can’t find anybody who can give you six innings, allowing 4 runs? Really? Nobody out there?
Yes to the thin part
every team except the Red Sox want a #5 starter. But what the Rockies refuse to do…is pay for it if we can’t develop it. Throw in Francis, Morales and Hirsch just going to hell…...and you end up with the rotating door of cast offs….which is why they were cast offs.
DLR has great stuff…just not consistent….does anyone think the Brewers and Royals didn’t see the great stuff? But the Rockies think…..no WE can change him.

the Viz is a pretty good pitcher. He clearly wasn’t healthy before but I expect we’ll be happy to see him take the ball from here on out.
I totally agree

I just realized
that the stat box for Kip Wells up top has his batting numbers, not his pitching ones.

I don't know.
To have 16 hits in 4 AB, you must be pretty good. God-like, if you will.

The offense is showing us something, at least.
I'm sure
Troy would trade his 5-for-5 night for a win.

We obviously aren't going to win every game to finish the season...
But I do get the feeling the management is going to start weeding out the fools, Redman, Wells, De La Rosa and others.
If we are gonna lose with a bad starting rotation., might as well give as many try-outs as possible.
