Or Billz again.
A bit surprising but probably the right move.

25.2 IP,2 ER, 0.70 ERA, 3-1 W-L
6 BB’s, 37 K’s
Dominant.

Alright
I can live with him staying in. Torre wants the Billz/Broxton bridge again. The way the middle relief has been, I don’t know if i blame him.
It sucks having Billz lead off though.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 28, 2009 9:50 PM PDT reply actions
I’m ok with it for now, as long as someone is warming and ready to go should anything happen. Billz is young, but 99 pitches through 7 is not too bad. If he was closer to 105, 110, I’d be extremely pissed.

I imagine Tron will be the first to come in, unless there is a lefty up.

Torre has to start putting some confidence in his relievers
It just won’t work this way in the long run. If Billz gets into even the slightest trouble in the 8th, he needs to be pulled.

how about thinking positively letting things play out before starting the doom and gloom worst case scenarios?
And yes, Broxton 8 Kuo 9 would make sense if Kuo hadn’t publicly expressed self doubt
Not doom and gloom
Just questioning the decision making.

Well

He was used
In the last game against the Rockies, where we got blownout. But the Giants don’t have any dangerous lefty bats.

i'm for the strike
i think brox could have gotten out with just the fastball if he was close to the zone. none of those hitters could catch up to his heat

Just do that earlier though. I don’t know why you’re all over the place with Aurillia of all people.

Martin should be hitting 8th, Ethier 4th, and Bison 5th
Damn it Joe. Move Martin down until he heats up
Superb at-bat - working the count, fouling off tough pitches, and finally getting a good one to hit
Well done, Andre, well done.

You guys need to think positive. Go Blue!
At least get another run in.
Then I’ll feel comfortable with the lead.

I wanted
I wanted to see Kemp try to score on that last ball in the dirt. If Molina would’ve tossed the ball to Howery covering the plate, Bison would’ve trucked him into the backstop.
Typical San Francisco
Make fun of Dodger fans leaving early, but they always leave early when the Giants are losing.

Giants fans are horrible
At least Dodgers fans know the game. Traffic just sucks. Giants fans tend to go just because. many have no idea about baseball.

The unspoken sportmanship
I appreciate the little things in the game like how Casey took his time getting reset in the box after fouling the pitch off Molina’s face.
I think there’s a lefty coming up, so it’ll probably be Oh, Man

Still bothering me...
Casey got a tailor-made 5-2-3 groundball, but he didn’t take a step to his left to create a throwing lane. A good throw and we’re out of the inning with Billz’s 5th win still on the books.
Pfft
Sounds like he sucks to me

Nope
They got a hit off of him in the third inning. I think he gave up like 5 earned runs in 5 innings.

I guess so
He might have been on short rest, it was the playoffs. He’s got like a 18 K/9 ratio on the season though.

right after a dodger win in SF, doesn’t get better than that. Thank god ethier and manny saved the day again, billingsly looking good. Oh-man looking good in the end as well.

Threw 89 pitches in an extended spring training game today. It ended when Schmidt was hit in the left leg by a line drive.

Wow what a night to be absent!
Such an exciting game, and Padma!!!! I’ll be here tomorrow, guaranteeing a boring game (hopefully to the good). :)
Stults vs Lincecum is a huge mismatch on paper... but today we overcame -
- Raffy, O-Dog & Martin go 0 for 13 & Torre still manages us to victory. Now an impressive 14 – 7 with 1 more extremely tough one (the Cy guy) on the road and then it’s Home Sweet Home. This could be the year we’ve been waiting for since 1988…I wouldn’t bet against Manny, ’Dre, Raffy, O-Dog, Loney, Kemp, Brox, Bills or even a few of our kid pichers coming around by the end of summer. ’09 Dodgers will go very very far. (imho)
