Wednesday Rockpile: How Do You Solve A Problem Like Jhoulys? He's been bad in 2012 -- should he be demoted?
Ted Lilly was removed after six innings Tuesday night, the third time in four starts he was pulled after exactly 79 pitches this season. Now we know what that dugout discussion in the top of the seventh inning was about, between Lilly, manager Don Mattingly, and trainer Sue Falsone.
The Rockies almost came back from a 7-0 deficit, but they fell short of scaling out of the massive hole Jhoulys Chacin placed them in.
The Rockies scored the final six runs of the game, but that was after the Dodgers scored the first seven runs of the contest. The Dodgers bruised and battered Jhoulys Chacin, a pitcher that had given them trouble in his young career, providing just enough cushion on their way to a 7-6 victory over the Rockies Tuesday night in Coors Field.
The Dodgers look to get back on track Tuesday night at Coors Field, sending Ted Lilly to the mound to face Jhoulys Chacin. Lilly has allowed three runs in three starts so far this season.
