Here's a Question
Given the perfect lineup for the Dodgers, (Furcal, Jones, Kemp, Ethier, Martin, LaRoche, Kent, Loney), what do you guys think the batting order should be?
by Tango and Cash on Apr 25, 2008 8:11 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I Think I Would Go With
Furcal
LaRoche
Kemp
Kent
Jones
Martin
Loney
Ethier

I assume you think Furcal’s .350 OBP is too low for the leadoff spot?
by Tango and Cash on Apr 25, 2008 8:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep. Best on base guys on top, then go power, then speed at the bottom.

BTW, is there a reason you like speed at the bottom?

I like yours
except I would go Martin-Loney-Kent-Kemp-Jones-Ethier-LaRoche-Furcal

Do you think that the players choose songs based on their names (Forgot About Dre, Hero, Panama) or is it pressed on them?

I think players usually get to pick. I remember reading something on ESPN’s Page2 about it.
However, I also know they used to play “Dream Weaver” whenever Weaver pitched, not sure when they played it, but I know he didn’t want them to and hated it.
by Tango and Cash on Apr 25, 2008 8:19 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not sure when they played when he was batting or coming out to pitch, I mean.

It looks like neither pitcher has it tonight. This might be a slugfest.

Gee, Ubaldo isn't looking quite the phenom tonight

You’d think he was the best pitcher in baseball for all the hype he got.

Are you a big A’s fan? I just noticed your avatar was the A’s elephant.

Not as much as the Dodgers obviously
they’re my AL team. Not much to follow this year…
by JLS23 on Apr 25, 2008 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’d say they’re my AL team, too. I liked the Twins a lot since I was a youngster when they won the series in ‘91, but now the only team I like to watch is the A’s. Even those crap teams in the mid-90’s I enjoyed for some reason.

Jimenez has eight now this year. Cain lead the league in them last year with 12.

From Baseball Prospectus Chat With Jay Jaffe Today
dblatnik (Sunnyvale, CA): How do you like Chad Billingsley’s luck so far this year—13.94 K/9 and a 9.1 LD% with a .449 BABIP? Also, when do you see the Dodgers calling up Clayton Kershaw?
Jay Jaffe: That’s a very weird line. I was listening to last night’s game while working on the Hit List; Billingsley had 12 Ks but allowed five runs in six innings.
I haven’t actually seen much of him this year, but that kind of line makes me wonder if he’s throwing too many strikes, trying to shoulder a bit too much of the load.

Andrew, I asked this earlier, but you were gone. Why do you like speed at the bottom of the lineup?

I didn’t comment on that thread the first time I read it, so I’ll pretend I never read it even though I probably did.
But I like that idea. You should send it to joetorre@dodgersbaseball.com

They did have that 22 inning thing, but this is getting close to an Ankiel level meltdown.

And now we get Kip Wells? Can this night get any better?

Getting fancy with the guy who couldn’t hit Japanese pitching is a bad idea.

Why would you play “nobody walks in LA” when someone walks?
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
by Andrew on Apr 25, 2008 8:59 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Yep, but I think the song is actually called “Walking in LA”, its by Missing Persons.

It’s just that the lesson of the song is that nobody walks in LA.

I’m wrong. He’s started 4 games and had one relief appearance. Not sure when that relief appearance was.

He had a couple good seasons when he first got to Pittsburgh. Not sure what happened to him.

by management to think that Glassiapara was going to be able to play everyday. Bring up Andy or Dewitt now and play them everyday.

Winny blamed it on it being a long game
...but I cannot imagine Russel Martin would have made it to 2nd base much quicker on fresh legs.
