Dodgers Look To Padilla To Extend Season

Randy Wolf. Clayton Kershaw. Chad Billingsley. Hiroki Kuroda. Jon Garland.
None of these starting pitchers will be making their third start this postseason today. That honor falls to Vicente Padilla, who has pitched like an ace so far this October.
Padilla sure picked a great time to have his best two starts as a Dodger. Padilla has allowed one run in 14.1 innings over his two playoff starts so far, and the Dodgers are hoping he can give them yet another strong start. Burt Hooton is the only Dodger ever with three straight postseason starts allowing one run or fewer in seven or more innings, turning the trick in 1981.
Cole Hamels started last year's Game 5, allowing just one run over seven innings as the Phillies won their pennant at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers of course can't return the favor tonight, but the very least they can do is to assure that the 2009 NL pennant will be won at Dodger Stadium too.
Andre Ethier is the only Dodger starter with an OPS above .783 this postseason:
| Player | XBH | BA/OBP/SLG | OPS |
| Ethier | 6 | .333/.419/.741 | 1.160 |
| Manny | 4 | .276/.300/.483 | .783 |
| Loney | 1 | .308/.357/.423 | .780 |
| Martin | 1 | .238/.407/.286 | .693 |
| Belliard | 0 | .308/.379/.308 | .687 |
| Furcal | 1 | .286/.313/.357 | .670 |
| Kemp | 2 | .200/.226/.400 | .626 |
| Blake | 0 | .192/.250/.192 | .442 |
| Starters | 15 | .268/.331/.404 | .734 |
The Dodgers need production from the offense if they want to play at home on Friday and/or Saturday.
Here's a brief look at the Dodgers' history when down 3-1 in the postseason:
- 1916: Ernie Shore of the Red Sox threw a 3-hit CG to win 4-1, giving Boston it's fourth championship
- 1941: One game after being stunned in the 9th inning (sound familiar?) by a strike 3 passed ball by Mickey Owen, leading to a four-run rally, the Dodgers fell to the Yankees 3-1 behind a CG by Tiny Bonham and a HR by Tommy Henrich
- 1949: The Dodgers fell 10-6 to the Yankees to lose their third series to the Yankees in nine years.
- 1974: After three straight 3-2 games, the Dodgers must have been confused by the 5-2 defeat to the A's in Game 4, as they fell in Game 5 by yet another 3-2 score
- 1977: Trailing the Yankees 3-1, the Dodgers finally pulled one out, scoring a 10-4 win at Dodger Stadium by limiting Reggie Jackson to just one home run. Jackson, however, had the last laugh, hitting three bombs in Game 6, cementing his status as Mr. October and denying the Dodgers a championship.
- 2008: Last season's NLCS Game 5 was dominated by Cole Hamels, who allowed just one run over seven innings. The Phillies managed a few early runs, knocking out Chad Billingsley early, and the Phillies won their first pennant in
2515 years.
So that's six times the Dodgers were down 3-1, and they forced a Game 6 just once. However, the Dodgers did win three straight in the 1981 NLDS after falling behind 0-2 in the best-of-five series.
There is only one option tonight. Win.

What Ned Colletti will be facing this Winter:
Possible long-term deals for arbitration-eligible players will be considered on a “case-by-case basis.” Russell Martin, Andre Ethier, George Sherrill, Jonathan Broxton, Chad Billingsley, Matt Kemp, and James Loney are among Colletti’s arbitration cases this winter. Which would you lock up?
by PHAT JULIO on Oct 21, 2009 11:16 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Of that list I would only consider locking up
Kemp and Billingsley.
Not on that list but who I would look to lock up is Kershaw.

2009-10 LA Kings Hockey: Where Smyt Happens!!
by DodgerBlueBalls on Oct 21, 2009 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No
We’ve already got Ethier locked up for 2 more years (via arbitration) so his first oppurtunity to enter the FA market will be his age 30 season. At this point, the Dodgers will almost certainly have already employed Ethier for his peak years, yet in order to entice him to stay, you will be paying much more for the years where he will begin to decline. If he keeps performing, some team will overpay him.
As opposed to Kemp, where (according to the contract Silverwidow proposes below) will allow the Dodgers to keep Kemp through his age 30 season and allow him to perform for the Dodgers during his peak years.
by Michael White on Oct 21, 2009 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
We even get to keep Ethier for one more season, through 2012.

Question
Will Kershaw enter super two status next year?
by PHAT JULIO on Oct 21, 2009 12:20 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No
He only had 104 or so days during his rookie year. Super Two’s generally are at 125+ days.
by silverwidow on Oct 21, 2009 12:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok
So he’ll be eligable for arb. then…
by PHAT JULIO on Oct 21, 2009 12:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe I'm confused
but I thought that if he was a Super 2 he would be eligible for arb next year.
Since he’s not a super 2, he will have to wait another year before being arb eligible.
by Michael White on Oct 21, 2009 12:29 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I've read that
Players who enter super 2 status, you need to have between 2-3 years of service time and 86 days before. So I guess he isn’t eligable for arb till 2011.

Kemp, Ethier, Billingsley
I’d want to lock up both outfielders. I’d expect Kemp would get something comparable to Nick Markakis (6 yrs, $66M, but maybe a little closer to silverwidow’s projection), and Ethier would get something like 4 years, $37M.
Billingsley’s tougher to say. Probably 4 years, $30M ish.
We’ll be dropping payroll from Schmidt (finally), but I don’t see any major acquisitions coming.

Kemp, Billingsley, and Ethier
Need to get extensions right away in the offseason, there shouldn’t even be a discussion. Give Martin a year before considering any kind of extension. Even think about an extension for Kershaw right now, he will only be getting more expensive as time goes on.
I would think about deals like this:
Kemp – 6 years 35 to 40 million
Billingsley – 6 years 28 million
Ethier – 5 years 30 million

Ok, I think I low balled all of them, lol.

2nd 81 games: 63g, 62 starts, .272/.370/.442

If Beltre could learn to take more walks he would be almost a carbon copy of Blake on offense. I know the 04 season was an aberration, but I really do think Beltre can still hit for pretty good power.

A movie script ending
I must say we really owe Cole Hamels a beat down. We were able to get 8 hits and 4 runs off of him in Game 1, tonight we can do it.
All I’m saying is this, the series gets back to L.A., we beat Pedro and in Game 7 Cliff Lee is his usual brilliant self. But he is matched by Dodger pitching and Manuel pulls him for a pinch-hitter in the ninth. So with the score tied 0-0 in the bottom of the ninth, who should step up to the plate but Endre Ethier. Brad Lidge returns to form and as the ball disappears into the L.A. night, Vin Scully shouts “she is gone!” and we are headed to the World Series.
Ya gotta believe.

I agree.
I mean … he is not even close to the pitcher he was in last year’s NLCS or this year when he was healthy. He’s a completely different person. Who cares if he can’t pitch in the WS, at this point Garland’s a better option.

I agree too. In fact, I would even put a certain other pitcher above Garland on the starter depth chart.
Rhymes with Chillingsbey.

Per ESPN Insider
Colletti said he’s planning on stepping up the Dodgers’ international scouting efforts, and even hinted that he’s open to long-term deals for a certain few of the club’s young stars.
That’s a good thing, too, because the Dodgers have a slew of young players that are eligible for arbitration, including most of their core talent.

I hate to interrupt playoff thoughts
but our hitters are kicking ass in the AFL so far.
Mitchell/Lambo/May are all repeating the league but Mitchell has gone off. He leads the league in every possible offensive category. OPS, HR, RBI, XBH, Slug% and Lambo is right behind him.
Funny thing is that Baseball Prospectus does a daily update on the league and they highlight about 10 players a day. They have yet to highlight either Lambo or Mitchell. They did highlight Josh Bell and gave him number one ranking for the day on Oct 20th, funny thing is that Lambo is two years younger and doing the same amount of damage.
Mitchell is old for the league but they are ga ga over Scott Sizemore who is just a few months younger then Mitchell and Mitchell is whumping. At least give the guy a mention.
Lucas May continues his hot hitting from the World Cup.
Trayvon Robinson has only had 7 at bats. Mitchell was on the team last year but rarely played.
Okay back to Playoff Thoughts.

Lucas May
may be the one who has the most immediate impact on the Dodgers….

Not in 2010
unless Martin gets hurt.
by meercatjohn on Oct 21, 2009 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Martin getting hurt is exactly the reason
Injuries to starting outfielders would mean increased playing time for Juan Pierre, Xavier Paul and Hoffmann. Even if Lambo passes the Hoff on the depth chart he’s still pretty well blocked for 2010.
An injury to Martin would could translate into an immediate call up for May, depending on if the Dodgers sign another PVL or not to be Martin’s backup.
I know nothing about Mitchell, so you’ll have to let me know if he would be less blocked than Lambo.

by matthewmafa on Oct 21, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Perhaps, though,
If May keeps developing I don’t see any reason why he can’t jump Ellis on the depth chart as Elllis doesn’t exactly fit into the org’s long term plans anyway.
And my point about the PVL is that if the Dodgers don’t bring in another Ausmus next year and allow Ellis to be the backup, then May would be called up to be the 2nd catcher on the squad. Hence, May could be one injury away from being on the ML team.

I still don’t get why the Spartans didn’t retreat. I get that doing stupid things to prove how manly they were was sort of their thing, but they could have retreated once they received word that the Persians were able to flank them. At this point, you’ve inflicted plenty of damage; retreat to base and wait for the Persians to arrive. By that time, hopefully you could mobilize the full army (instead of just 300) and defeat the Persians remaining Persian army. Committing suicide seemed pretty stupid.

Well you have to keep in mind I wasn’t actually there, but if they all ran away at once, the Persians would just run after them.
A small amount held the pass but were then encircled from both sides and then slaughtered. I would imagine the army that outflanked them was much smaller than the army at the pass.

Historically
It was the best defensive position available and the greeks thought they could hold the persians there. Initially the greek army was bigger but most of the greek left once they saw the situation looked hopeless.

Historically
I understand the logic of trying to ward them off at the pass. My point is, if others are able to determine the situation was hopeless (and it was) why not make a strategic retreat. Of course with the benefit of hindsight, I now know that Persia never conquered Greece anyway, but even if they did, commiting suicide makes no sense at that point. Live to fight another day.
