Open Thread: Game 81 - @San Diego Padres

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 7:04 PM PDT in News

San Diego (45-33) vs. LA Dodgers (45-35) 7:10pm

Lineups:

San Diego

Brian Giles RF .277/.354/.347
Marcus Giles 2B .256/.331/.355
Adrián González 1B .278/.347/.498
Mike Cameron CF .264/.325/.445
Josh Bard C .256/.332/.367
Khalil Greene SS .242/.275/.474
Kevin Kouzmanoff 3B .223/.287/.393
José Cruz LF .265/.348/.409
Jake Peavy P .219/.219/.375

LA Dodgers

Rafael Furcal SS .274/.340/.353
Juan Pierre CF .277/.309/.325
Russell Martin C .298/.365/.480
Jeff Kent 2B .269/.354/.455
Luis González LF .295/.387/.490
Nomar Garciaparra 3B .273/.312/.327
James Loney 1B .478/.500/.848
Andre Ethier RF .278/.344/.427
Brad Penny P .241/.290/.310

Pitching Matchup:

Jake Peavy	vs	Brad Penny
9	W	10
2	L	1
2.14	ERA	2.04
105.0	IP	105.2
9.69	K/9	5.99
2.57	BB/9	2.4
0.09	HR/9	0.17

In the last game of the first half, the NL's ERA leaders face off against each other. While one of them probably doesn't deserve that title, I can't think of a better way to end an up and down first half.

Update>>Just noticed, D.J. Houlton has been called up, Hong-Chih Kuo has been sent down. I'll try to make a more detailed post later, but for now I'll just mention that Odalis Perez was allowed to have three bad starts out of six before he was kicked out of the rotation, Kuo only had two bad starts out of six.

I'm going to list all the 80's bands

that I enjoy listening to.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:20 PM PDT reply actions

Nomar!

If Nomar has to hit another homerun, now was a good time.

And seriously, Poison?

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:22 PM PDT reply actions

Nomar!!

Yea, those guys are hilarious. Unskinny Bop might be the pinnacle of their work.

These are some bands from the 80's that I actually

Of course Poison is hilarious, but to actually listen to them is another story.

Then again, I've been playing Panama a lot recently, so I have no ground to stand on.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Panama is Sweet

Van Halen is still a legitimately good band, and the David Lee Roth era was phenomenal. I'm not a big fan of the Hagar stuff so much, but the Cherone album is pretty underrated. Although I'm still pissed that Eddie kicked out Michael Anthony just so his son could play bass in the band.

Re

Of course Van Halen is a legitimately good band.

It's just that Panama is a terrible song.

Panama's Great

That guitar solo is really sweet. It's one of Eddie's better ones.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:38 PM PDT up reply actions

Very True

But a great solo doesn't make a great song. The chorus is just so obnoxious that it fogs over any memory of the rest of the song.

Cameron probably. Hunter hasn't been any good defensively for a while, Cameron walks more and probably has better power once you adjust for park factors.

Peavy

They just said on ESPNNews that that was Peavy's first homer given up in 83 innings. Now I'm even more surprised Nomar hit it.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:37 PM PDT reply actions

Re

Regression to the mean is a funny thing.

Maybe Nomar learned Kendall just pulled ahead of him in the home run race.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions

I think Nomar Could Pull Ahead

Now with Suzuki up in Oakland, Kendall could get pulled if his production falls, which means less chances to get to 3 homers.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Re

But that would involve Nomar hitting another home run at some point.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions

That's True.

We need to get Rob Deer as the new hitting coach. He'll teach Nomar how to hit homers. That's all he did if he wasn't K'ing or walking.

Loney

Andrew,

I've been meaning to ask you. What do you think about Loney? He's killing right now. Do you think it's just small sample size or do you think it was because he was so angry that he had to be in AAA that he just didn't try and that's why his stats are so much better right now (although we both know they won't be that good the whole season).

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:44 PM PDT reply actions

Re

Obviously the .470 average is a fluke, and so is the power. The best isolated power he's ever put up at any level is .141 in the launching pad at Vegas. He's at .305 in the bigs heading into tonight. He should regress back into what we envisioned, something like .300/.355/.440.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions

JP

I was going to say that Pierre isn't getting thrown out much this year, but then I realized he's only 30 for 38.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:44 PM PDT reply actions

I'm pretty sure

he's been picked off thirty times, too. I looked it up the other day, so that might not be quite right. But it seems like thirty.

I Don't Think So.

Grady only let Lowe does that, it seems.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Same here.

I just noticed Peavy 'only' has 4 K's. That guy has to be the best pitcher in the majors right now.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:53 PM PDT reply actions

I meant that last post

in that this is an off-night for Peavy in terms of K's. He's good.

Quite so, he should be the one who starts the All-Star game and not Penny.

I Wonder How Long Kuo Will Be In AAA For

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 8:57 PM PDT reply actions

Re

Depends if the Dodgers trade for someone like Buerhle. If they do, it won't be for a while. If they don't, probably until the next injury. I can't believe Tomdrickson will get another chance.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions

I Can't Believe The Dodgers Want Buehrle

Granted, Buehrle will be pretty good in the NL. But how much better would he be over Billingsley or Kuo? And who would we give up for him?

I hate Tomdrickson.

Bard

Josh Bard is amazingly bad at throwing out runners. Amazing that Barrett can actually improve the team defensively.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 9:01 PM PDT reply actions

I still can't believe the Cubs Traded Him.

Sure, he got in a fight with Zambrano. Give me a break. You can't trade Barrett if your only other options are Koyie Hill, Rob Bowen, and Henry Blanco when he gets off the DL. I guess since Izturis doesn't start anymore, it's just one machine replaced with another.

As bad as Colletti is, at least he's not Jim Hendry.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions

Re

I think he also got in a shouting match with Rich Hill.

I think Nate Silver said that this has been the Cubs MO for years though. Devalue a player in the press, then trade him for nothing.

Olmedo can further secure his boy for life tag here. Though I would probably like Abreu in this situation. Just need someone to put it in play.

I've come to accept not using the closer unless it's a save situation, but I don't see how you don't go Broxton here.

by Andrew on Jun 30, 2007 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Maybe Little

is of the type of manager who believes clogging the bases is bad for the offense, which might explain why he has Beimel in.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 9:12 PM PDT up reply actions

Dodgers-Reds

When I went to Maddux's almost no-hitter last year against the Reds in Cincy, the worst sight to see was Joe Beimel come in after the 2nd rain delay. At that moment, I knew I had come the closest I'd ever get to seeing a no-hitter.

by Rich @ True Blue LA on Jun 30, 2007 9:11 PM PDT reply actions

Okay, I can see using Beimel as the LOOGY, but he needs to go once Marcus Giles comes up.

Youtube

Only Youtube clips of The Todd from Scrubs are keeping me alive at this point. And clips from Arrested Development.

Hope

At least we seem to be able to hit Hoffman lately.

That monkey sound was saved into my browser

from the last time. I had to use it.

Dang

Oh well, if you would have said in April we'd be nine games over .500 at the halfway point, I'd take it.

Do we blame Tomko, or the offense in general for this?

I Prefer To Blame Tomko

We did face Peavy for 8 innings.

Shit.

I'm going to bed.

well

this was the game i went to with my free tickets and i can tell you, as shitty as tomko looks on tv, he looks worse in person. nonchalant and goofy looking, looks like he doesnt care out there. then he gives up two runs and beats himself up. i hope he is our next DFA victim.
