Dodgers Honor Marilyn Chambers Against Astros

PrintThis game was blown. Courtesy of astute contributor El Lay Dave, here are the splits of one Big Puma:
-Lance Berkman, career as RHB: .269/.377/.425
-Lance Berkman, career as LHB: .311/.424/.601
Among the pitchers available to pitch in the 8th inning tonight:
-RHP Ronald Belisario
-LHP Hong Chih-Kuo
-LHP Will Ohman
The Dodgers opted with the righty Belisario to face Berkman, the second batter of the inning, who tied the game with an opposite field shot to left field. The Astros continued to rally against the suddenly shaky Belisario, pushing across the eventual winning run later in the inning.
James Loney snapped out of his slump in the top of the eighth with a go-ahead RBI double with nobody out, but he was stranded on the bases as the Dodgers failed to widen their lead.
Matt Kemp's 14-game hitting streak was snapped with an 0-for-4.
The first two games of Eric Collins' broadcast career have not been kind to the Dodgers, as they have dropped both in Houston, in maddening fashion.
On the positive side, the club is still 10-5. So there's that.
In Chad We Trust Wednesday Thursday.

Mistakes all around.
Wolf, Kemp, Belisario, Torre. The offense deserved better.

Kuo was "up", but was he throwing?
In the one bullpen shot I saw of Kuo, he was on the mound but simply practicing his stride toward the plate. He had a ball in his right hand and no glove on. Did he ever actually warm? I may have missed it, but to me it looked as if Torre never had him get up…which is a bad for our bullpen.
I hope Torre becomes a bit more restrained on when and where he calls on Belisario.
I think he will
After the way Belisario has looked the last couple of games.
I’m not sure whether Kuo was actually throwing or just getting loose now that you mention it.

BAD TASTE IN TITLE! LA IS HOME TO PORN INDUSTRY THAT HAS HELP RUIN MANY LIVES. THE DODGERS DO NOT NEED TO BE SPOKEN IN THE SAME BREATH AS PORN STARS DESPITE THE FACT THEY FELL ON THERE BACKSIDE FOR THE ASTROS.

I was too angry
To remember to put in the score (6-5). Being compared to Monday cuts me deep. :). I’m going to burn a flag in protest!

It does seem strange that we have Ohman in the bullpen and did not use him in a situation that screamed it. I can understand the reluctance to use Kuo in a tight game like that given his control problems but if you are going to make a big deal in the spring about getting another LHRP, then you might want to use him when the situation warrants it. It was Lance Berkman after all not Jeff Blum.
