Wait until his lousy hands reappear – then start hitting to him again.

Although, if you believe in UZR, Ibanez is an slightly above average left fielder this year.
Of course being a good left fielder doesn’t mean you’re a good defensive outfielder.

does UZR take into account the laughably short porch in Left that CBP has?

I don't think we can be too critical of Joe for this
Kuroda just didn’t get it done. I’d have gone to Bills, but there was no great option (maybe 3 man rotation would have worked) – and Kuroda had owned Philly, albeit at home.

Isn't that an unrealistic expectation?

It was a bit of a catch-22
if Bills comes out and gets shelled half of us say “Look at his second half, how do you start him?” Kuroda gets shelled and the other half say, “He hasn’t pitched in forever, how do you start him?”

I will defend 2009 Billingsley to the death.

I think Bills would have been a solid choice
I would have put him out there with a crazy-short leash for the 5th and 6th, let our bullpen work after that.
That said, I had confidence in Kuroda to bitch much better than he is showing tonight. Hindsight is a bitch.

If this does wind up being a loss, it doesn’t count extra for being by a lot of runs. If the Dodgers can get all the putrid out of their systems at once, they will be better off in the long run.
