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

Keyed in
these guys are really keyed in so far.
Baker! (Seriously, second baseman Jeff Baker?)

Baker is pretty much a corner guy, Matsui must be hurt again.
Didn't Kip Wells give up 10 runs in a game once?
I think it was like 2 years ago…
The poster formerly known as Matt.
Lets see
in 07 he gave up 8 runs one, 7 runs twice and 6 runs 4 times.
Ah in 05 he gave up 9 runs in a game:

great site
Love baseball-reference.com They;re working on a minor league baseball version
Wells
Don’t know about that, but there was a guy this year who did it, i think it was Arroyo.
Ah you are correct

offense
13 runs in their last two innings by the Dodgers!
If you guys love 80s metal

Ump
Okay you proved your point, open up the zone
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 wouldn mind him or Eckstein for nothing.

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.
Maybe he could start by firing Joe Torre.

torre
Fire Torre?? He’s a keeper in my opinion. Colletti on the other hand …
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.

DeWitt needs to be in the minors. He’s overmatched in the majors.

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.

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.”
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?
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.

The difference is we have a guy that can replace DeWitt at 3B.

Angel Berroa
has one of the worst eyes in the majors:
