What is the reliability of COL bull pen on 1-10 scale
10 being highest

Bobby Cox!
For some reason I was only thinking of the years they won their division in a row (14 plus the few years since then).
KC won games 6 and 7 in Toronto
That Toronto team was way better than KC too.
KC was down 3-1 in the WS too right?

Jiminez with four straight K's after the wild pitch
The Rockies have a stud here.

How many pitchers can throw it up there at 98-100 that often, though?
Besides, I’ll take Kershaw with his great movement and mid 90s fastball any day over Jimenez.
Verlander is the only other pitcher I can think of
by Michael White on Oct 2, 2009 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions
Matt Cain can throw close to 100, can’t he? It’s just a straight fastball with no movement.
Also Burnett can throw high 90s, and there is a list on the front page of Fangraphs.com with the average fastball speeds, i haven’t checked recently though.
Per Fangraphs Top 5 average fastball mph
Jimenez
Verlander
Josh Johnson
E Jax
Burnett

Dodgers need one win in three games to be the #1 seed in the NL. So they are either #1 or #4

They are trying to make history
by losing an even bigger lead than the 51 Dodgers, and fail worse than the 07 and 08 Mets.
Good point
I was really just talking about having a giant lead in 07 and blowing it in the last week then having a few game lead in 08 in the WC and then proceeding to blow that as well.
Rafy better be ready to run because this ball is going to be zinged

Pre - Vagina Manny
that stolen base would have meant they would now walk him.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Manny’s OPS for Sept/Oct, including 3 Ks tonight….859 (.219/.394/.466). and that’s with a .222 BABIP
Most of his value comes from walks, and with the offense being how it has been, the walks haven’t been worth that much.
Again, offense scoring 4.89 runs per game in that period…pretty much the same as all year (in fact, slightly higher)
8 games in September the Dodgers scored 7 runs or more. (74 runs)
2 games with 6 runs scored (12 runs)
3 games with 5 runs scored (15 runs)
4 games with 4 runs scored (16 runs)
3 games with 2-3 runs scored (8 runs)
6 games 1 or less runs scored (4 runs)
Im going to check the wins and losses for all of those now. Im bored, right now, lol.
8 games in September the Dodgers scored 7 runs or more. (74 runs) 8-0
2 games with 6 runs scored (12 runs) 2-0
3 games with 5 runs scored (15 runs) 2-1
4 games with 4 runs scored (16 runs) 2-2
3 games with 2-3 runs scored (8 runs) 0-3
6 games 1 or less runs scored (4 runs) 0-6
Ouch.
Actually it’s not bad, but I’ve gotta believe there are a ton of other teams that have won at least once while scoring 3 runs or less last month.
That's true. He did have 85 total bases in that game earlier this week.

Pitcher hitting, I like that
bodes well for our sixth inning, assuming Troncoso can put him away.

Neither
it was an optimistic comment that we’d score off of Jiminez in the sixth.

It seems like every Rocky kills us. I wince whenever i see us pitch to Tulowitski, Hawpe, and Spilborghs. Sometimes even your fatty catcher, haha.
I respect Matt Kemp too much to really hate him.
but Martin has a history of killing us

I thought Eddings only had a crush on that asshole AJ Pierzienski, I didn’t know he was a Rockies fan.
Ughhh, as if the Dodgers aren’t playing bad enough, they have to contend with bad calls too.
That was either a tie, or the through just got him.
He wasn’t “clearly” safe though by any stretch
I would LOVE to get a capture of that reaction
that was hilarious

if this is Loney’s final regular season homestand as our starting 1b
by oshea2002 on Oct 2, 2009 9:23 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Not so cheap anymore
but I still like him to break out in 2010 but if the new Padre GM would rather have Loney and give us Adrian to make sure relations between us start our smooth, I’d give in for the sake of getting along with our neighbors.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
That's a good question
It’s his first arb year right. What do you think he jumps to?
There is no good free agent 1b that would be a suitable replacement for Loney. The only hope we’d have is to completely overpay for Fielder, but I don’t think he would mesh well here, especially after storming the locker room earlier in the season.
I would love Fielder here
What an upgrade over Loney
by Michael White on Oct 2, 2009 9:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, it'd probably have to be via trade
If Martin and Furcal turn things around, the offense could be better this year. But on the whole – if it’s just let Hudson walk and do nothing, I’m a bit concerned on the O next year.
That said – the staff could be really good next year, with offense becoming less of a need.
thomes too old sir...

Think of it this way…we got Jimenez to throw 116 pitches and he’s out after 6.
It’s only a 1-run game.
Ubaldo's strength is his absurd ability to get groundball outs
>50% groundballs.
Kershaw will have better stuff as his career goes on. I’ll be interested to see how he reins it in though, in terms of BB9
Kershaw’s gonna be sick as he matures. Hell, he’s already sick.

this, exactly
the fact that everyone freaks out at everything and misses the big picture drives me up the wall.
Before we clinched yesterday, everyone on Purple Row was convinced we were gonna choke, we sucked, the team was a disappointment, and many of us were screaming “WE ARE LEADING THE WILD CARD. QUIT CRYING. GIVE SOME CREDIT FOR WHAT WE’VE DONE.”
The Dodgers are a damn good ballclub. Matt Kemp is young and I’d argue a top-10 (if not more exclusive) player in the NL, and the young corps is gonna keep you guys competitive for many years.
Gah.

I think K3vo is a Dodgers fan.
But to answer the question, yes, there was a fan post after a game with a really bad call against us. Most people didn’t buy it, and the whole thing quickly died anyway. And more people thought it was umpires holding a grudge after a scrum we had with a crew a few weeks ago. But really, I think most posters didn’t buy any of it.
Yeah, sorry.
Just logged on and it was the first thing I read. Should have researched better.
You need to STFU
there is a difference between having faith in your team and being delusional. They look defeated. I would be greatly surprised if the Dodgers were not worse then the 25th worse offense in the last week, and at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME, reguardless of the regular season meaning nothing to the playoffs in all reality.
All of this shit is just a major back breaker, it’s disheartening.
Not only that
But I really am still trying to keep my faith in the Dodgers. I am dying for them to do something to get out of this funk. All we need is one win in the next 3 regular season games (tonight included, obviously), and we can do that, it really shouldn’t be a problem, but the way they are looking they might not do it. Even so, they’ll still be in the playoffs and i still think they are the best team in the NL!
Hey Eric can you reign in your troops??
