From the “who knew?” file: Edwin Jackson only has 66 strike outs this year.

It’s gotten to the point where I hope he just grounds out.

ground out is a possible double play

Yeah, but it’d be something new at least.

Baker is pretty much a corner guy, Matsui must be hurt again.

Matsui’s and Astro. Omar Quintilla or someone has been playing second.

Didn't Kip Wells give up 10 runs in a game once?
I think it was like 2 years ago…

Don’t know about that, but there was a guy this year who did it, i think it was Arroyo.

a glove
if they’re looking for a glove at SS, McDonald might be available in Toronto.

I read McDonald was just named starting SS. Eckstein’s on the bench!

I don't see how
Eckstein is an improvement. He has no range, no arm and very little offense.

He can get on base and play better d than Nomar.

Since they're hoping this happens
what about Yuniesky Betancourt?
His defense is terrible now, but he can hit.

best available
He (McDOnald) doesnt hit, but he’ll save runs which will be key in Aug/Sept.
by Dodger Tom on Jul 21, 2008 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe he could start by firing Joe Torre.

torre
Fire Torre?? He’s a keeper in my opinion. Colletti on the other hand …
by Dodger Tom on Jul 21, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Eh
Torre is the wrong manager for this team.

Just wondering
Why is he the wrong guy?
by Dodger Tom on Jul 21, 2008 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Torre is a pretty bad manager
whose success primarily lies upon having the highest payroll in the bigs and a team of all stars.

If Torre can’t figure out that LaRoche needs to start over DeWitt, and that we don’t need a vet 3B and that LaRoche should be starting for OUR TEAM, as Torre refuses to grant, then he doesn’t deserve to be the Dodgers’ manager.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 21, 2008 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
When LaRoche was out, DeWitt played well. What’s wrong with getting both guys action?
by Dodger Tom on Jul 21, 2008 7:01 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
DeWitt needs to be in the minors. He’s overmatched in the majors.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 21, 2008 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Personally, I think Torre is the reason DeWitt is still on the team because he really loves DeWitt because he’s a ‘ballplayer,’ but DeWitt needs to develop still. And if Colletti doesn’t send him down, we might have just wasted a lot of talent in Blake DeWitt.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 21, 2008 7:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That’d be like McCourt firing Ned last year.

According to ESPN Andy just walked on a ball right down the heart of the plate. That’s an eye.

Do you think Plaschke’s face turns red everytime LaRoche walks, muttering to himself “A real ballplayer wouldn’t do that.”
by Tango and Cash on Jul 21, 2008 7:01 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
DeWitt just needs a few more weeks to work his way out of a nine week slump, I know it.

For a guy who’s overmatched at the MLB level, DeWitt’s numbers aint too bad. Who did they have to replace him while LaRoche was on the DL?
by Dodger Tom on Jul 21, 2008 7:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No one, but at this point his overall numbers have dropped to Juan Pierre levels. He’s OPSing .524 since May 17th.
DeWitt’s initial hot streak saved us from Brandon Inge, but he’s killing us now.

If he’s killing us, then what is Jones doing??? :-)
by Dodger Tom on Jul 21, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
The difference is we have a guy that can replace DeWitt at 3B.
