Kip Wells is AWEsome!Kip Wells was great last night. I had tears of joy as I witnessed this man put it together. A man who has dealt with a lot of crap, some of it the teams' doing, and much more of it his own. They say Wells made a change in his delivery, moving to the other side of the rubber. I say he took a page out of his mound opponents book, but I won't argue with results.What I will argue with is every single fan who holds this team to a double standard. You want young guys to get more playing time, then don't complain when the slump for a month. You want to showcase veterans for trade value, then don't complain when rookies sit. You want to wait on a guy cause he's finally is playing well, don't complain when he starts to suck again. All baseball players will eventually suck at baseball. It's inevitable. I want Kip Wells to pitch for my team, not because I want to showcase him, but because he's a good pitcher, right now. Good pitchers have bad starts, bad months, bad years. Some of them even have bad careers, but Kip Wells has done nothing to show that is the case with him. You play good players and good things happen. Either you start to win or someone says, "Hey! I want that guy and I'm willing to make a lopsided trade to get him." It's a simple as that. If the guy isn't good then he shouldn't be playing or you get shit in return, that's how it works. posted by Rory at 5:52 PM | |
