Near the end of last season, I wrote a story looking ahead at the Rockies’ 2023 starting rotation. The headline read: “Rockies’ wobbly rotation has huge question marks for 2023.”
I’m no soothsayer. The problems were there in plain sight. But I didn’t think it would be so bad that the club would be forced to wedge right-hander Dinelson Lamet into the rotation as an emergency starter.
In case you missed it, Lamet served up three two-run homers — two to Travis d’Arnaud and another to Eddie Rosario — in four ugly innings in Colorado’s 8-1 loss to the Braves on Friday night at Truist Park.
