10-4 Good Buddy: Rockies Hammer Kershaw, Dodgers

PrintThere's not much to say about this game, other than Clayton Kershaw got hammered after retiring his first six hitters. Kershaw allowed nine runs in 4.2 innings, capping a weekend of subpar starting pitching at Coors Field. Dodger starters gave up 17 runs in 14.2 innings (a 10.43 ERA), none going more than five.
Yet the Dodgers were 2-1 in the series, thanks in no small part to a bullpen that gave up only six hits and three runs in 11.1 innings, good for a 2.38 ERA.
A trip to San Francisco ends the road trip. Randy Wolf will face Barry Zito Monday night.

I so thought Clayton was turning the corner as well has hitting it :) ........after he got those 1st 6 nice opening outs but noooooooo....
…nevertheless there is nothing wrong about winning this series 2 – 1 & being 13 – 6. Nice April to start this long campaign to get that gosh darn elusive 7th DODGER WORLD SERIES championship. Mama said there’d be days like this. (Or was it Van Morrison who said that ?)
Glass is half full (highlights imo)
Pierre got on base 4 out of 5 plate appearances, Loney with couple of nice banging hits & Loretta becoming our secret weapon.
I hated throwing Kershaw under the bus
I couldn’t immediately think of a bigger disappointment. I’ll probably regret that one.

For what it's worth
I would have gone with the general fail of under-300-pound relievers or McDonald, but only because I was expecting this kind of a year for Kershaw. It’s not his fault his should-have-been-4/5-pitcher ended up “you’re 2/3, good luck!”
I had a series of one liners lined up too
for that and other things.

That was all me
I was going to mention my main goal was to beat the Prime Ticket or KCAL guy on getting the stats on screen, but I forgot

I get the Kershaw comment
It’s clear you still support him, it’s just that his past few starts have been disappointing.
Thanks!
I was hoping to throw in some F-bombs, but oh well!

Orel
Did you find the audio online after the interview or did you tape it old school?
by Eric Stephen on Apr 26, 2009 5:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Definitely old school
helmet radio + digital camera in movie mode
Didn't even think of the digital camera
That’s why you’re the veteran and I’m the scrub rookie!

That's why I'm Rube Goldberg
and you’re Thomas Edison with the charts and the graphs and the whatnot
"Wolf and Bills and head for the hills"
was merely an attempt at humor. I’m OK with Kershaw, McDonald, and Stults, but right now I don’t think those three can be counted on to pitch more than 5 innings regularly (although Kershaw obviously should be fine sooner, in theory at least)
Also I was hoping they'd delve further into the rotation
because one of my notes was “if Jeff Weaver or Eric Milton are the answer, you’re asking the wrong question.” :)
