¿Quién Es Más Macho: 1911 Tigers or 2009 Dodgers?

PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers, May 5, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
The Dodgers, winners of a National League record 11 straight at home to start their season, look to tie the 1911 Tigers tonight with their 12th straight win. One way these two teams are similar is the production from their outfield.
The 1911 Detroit Tigers featured two Hall of Famers in their outfield, 31-year old Sam Crawford in left and 24-year old Ty Cobb in center. Cobb was amazing, leading the league in batting average, hits, doubles, triples, steals, runs, RBI, slugging percentage, total bases, OPS, OPS+, and wOBA, on his way to winning the MVP award. Left field featured a platoon with Delos Drake and Davy Jones, but in total this outfield didn't Monkee around.
This year's Dodgers feature an outfield that is tearing up the league, leading all of baseball in hits, runs, doubles, homers, RBI, walks, total bases, batting average, slugging, OBP, OPS and OPS+.
Here is a breakdown of the starting outfielders for both teams.
| Player | PA | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS+ | wOBA |
| Cobb, CF |
654 | .420 | .467 | .621 | 196 | .524 |
| Crawford, RF |
648 | .378 | .438 | .526 | 163 | .456 |
| Jones, LF | 391 | .273 | .354 | .302 | 80 | .335 |
| Drake, LF |
343 | .279 | .324 | .375 | 91 | .340 |
| Tigers Totals | 2036 | .355 | .412 | .489 | 146 | .435 |
| Player | PA | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS+ | wOBA |
| Manny, LF | 112 | .360 | .500 | .663 | 201 | .481 |
| Ethier, RF | 119 | .316 | .429 | .571 | 159 | .423 |
| Kemp, CF | 108 | .298 | .380 | .532 | 135 | .404 |
| Dodgers Totals | 339 | .324 | .437 | .586 | 164 | .436 |
It's certainly too early in the season to put the 2009 Dodger outfield on par with one that featured two Hall of Famers. However, in the early going, Manny, Kemp, and Ethier have certainly done their best imitation, and that's a major reason why the Dodgers have the best record in baseball.
Of course, to match the 12-game home winning streak of those 1911 Tigers, there is the little matter of tonight's game. Max Scherzer and Jeff Weaver face off at Dodger Stadium at 7:10pm on KCAL.

Why?
Firstly, how do you know this, did Joe announce something to this effect? Second, why? He’s not young, there’s nothing that needs preserving here. If he’s cruising, why not let the bullpen breathe some more?
Am I overlooking something?
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 3:49 PM PDT up reply actions
It was reported Saturday
by Rich Hammond of the Daily News.
As for a why, I believe it’s about building up arm strength since he was mostly used as a reliever through spring training and up until about 10-14 days ago. And part of having a 13-man pitching staff is to not have to let them breathe.
Do we get a Brent Leach sighting tonight?
He’s not a great prospect or anything, but it’s fun to watch a major league debut.
Just checked my TBLA Sportsbook
And Leach getting into the game tonight is currently going for -140.
The Nat’s probably wouldn’t mind him. As most of baseball watches their bullpens implode we have some chits if Kuo is indeed available later this year. We haven’t talked about Kuo but the news has been interesting. No surgery but arthritic changes to his elbow due to the four surgeries. I’d like that explained in a little more detail.
I believe
There has been limited news because Dr. ElAttrache is applying for a patent on naming this new experimental procedure. :)
On the radio
Locally, 710 has the Denholm & Long show but NC will be on with John Seibel and Orestes Destrade, at about 4:25
Pretty vanilla interview
Colletti specifically mentioned he had all the confidence in Kemp, and that Loney’s power would come (he did joke that Loney might be the first 0 HR 100 RBI man). Also praised Bills and Ethier. He said he wanted good character guys that would fit in the clubhouse and that’s how/why Blake, Furcal, Loretta, Ausmus were targeted.
I’ll track down the podcast and post a link later.
Weaver best be doing well tonight

Kawakami has not been very Kuroda like so far. Braves have to be disappointed in what they have gotten from him.
He does have 7 strikeouts in 4.2 innings today.
But also 8 hits (including 3 doubles) and 3 walks.
by Brendan Scolari on May 5, 2009 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions
To follow up on a point from yesterday
Carlos Guillen was placed on the DL today—- so it seems his poor production had to do with an injury.
Bad start
Ethier probably should have caught that.
by uclaisthebest123 on May 5, 2009 7:14 PM PDT reply actions
I like Weaver working pitches down in the zone
I thought he should have gotten a few of those “ball” calls
Me too
I think working low is the key to Weaver’s success. Of course, that’s pretty much the same for most pitchers.
Weaver has a lot of movement
and I like the sidearm action, but it seems to me some of his breaking pitches spin like a cement mixer. He’s been good at keeping them down, but if starts getting them up he’s gonna get hammered.
Yup, that's the key
Keep em down and they can’t hurt him too much
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 7:17 PM PDT up reply actions
Did he also ref the Laker game last night?
I didn’t see the game, but I assume that’s why the Lakers lost with all the talk radio callers I heard today. :)
If there were ever a submarine or sidearm knuckleballer, that might just be my favorite pitcher ever.
I thought I heard of a high schooler who could do that.
Don’t know if anything came of it

The key is the delivery
there have been a few ambidextrous guys but none who would surprise you mid-windup :)
I hate it
when minor details ruin great plans!
My brothers convinced my mom to have me play little league left handed for a year. I played 2B…it was miserable.
If it's the same one, there is an article in the new ESPN mag about him.
He’s in the Class-A Yankees affiliate.

I can't watch the game.
But what is up with Ethier? Just late starts? Is he distracted by Myspace?

Greinke is crazy good.
Can’t believe there was even rumors of Grienke for Jeff Francoeur in the off season.
Kim Ng on Saturday
on Dodger Thoughts night at Dodger Stadium was asked by a youngster what she looks for most in a pitcher. Ng said “strike one.” She said that was key, and that there was a difference of about .120 points in OBP and about .080 in SLG. From the way she spoke about it, and the quickness of her answer, you could tell it was a mantra of sorts and that she often referred to this.
I decided to look it up:
2009 MLB
After 1-0: .274/.401/.454
After 0-1: .236/.283/.356
2008 MLB
After 1-0: .277/.393/.450
After 0-1: .234/.278/.357
Getting strike one is as old as dirt, but I never realized the stark difference in performance after the first pitch.
I think Moneyball had a passage to that extent as well.
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions
i think he combined felipe and lopez
Dodgers - 2008 NL West Champions
Cardinals - 2008 NFC Champions
What are we going to about Loney?
His OBP is falling like a rock, and he doesn’t have any slugging to pick him up.
I will bet large sums of money
that Loney will not only not be traded this year, but will play 150+ games for the Dodgers.
A 25 year old first baseman who hits for average
He’ll have value to a team that values batting average. Plus they can look at his RBI totals from last year.
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 8:17 PM PDT up reply actions
"Falling like a rock"
It’s still early in the season…stats fluctuate too much. Sure, Loney’s OBP has gone from .427 to .374 (after 2 PA tonight) in a week, but remember a week before that he was at a .333 OBP and raised it to .427.
I’m not worried about Loney. At all.
I hope he got a good construction loan before the economy tanked
so he can build on the addition to his trophy room
Which won't last long since Torre will pick Stults over Weaver when Kuroda comes back.
For as much as Torre doesn’t like Stults, he doesn’t think Stults can relieve.
Torre wouldn't think twice about sending Stults right back down to AA
I don’t get it, but Torre is not found of that man.
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 8:18 PM PDT up reply actions
Torre doesn't trust Stults to go 5 innings.
I don’t blame him half the time, since Stults throws 4 pitches, and none of them well.
Yeah, but you'd think he would progress and get better
Like Ethier, and Kemp did.
He just never did. Its kinda sad.
stuff like this cannot be seen through yahoo's gamecast :/

A short looper to CF

Not to be a negitive ninny
But last year was supposed to be the Cubs magical season.
And then we wrecked all of their shit.

This seems like the type of list 2009 Jeff Weaver would be on
I used to really like Weaver
I liked him in Detroit and didn’t understand the trade (at the time) that sent him to New York for Jeremy Bonderman. Since Bonderman pitched marvelously in the AL Playoffs two years ago, the Tigers surely got the better of the deal— especially considering Bonderman (though on the DL now) is still only 26 or so.

Ethier’s interview with Jim Rome is up. (Its video)
Something is up with balls hit to RF tonight
Hudson and Ethier bump into one another.
That’s Ethier’s ball, but Ethier also has to watch for Hudson there.
How is Ethier supposed to do that exactly?
You can’t take your eye off the ball as its on the way down. Hudson needs to bail out on that one.
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Mostly Hudson's fault
since he shouldn’t have been out there, but Ethier was running for the ball with blinders on. He has to at least be aware of the loud, yelling 2B near him.

Did Beimel shoot Torre’s dog or something?
ohman has always been a LOOGY.. i don't understand joe torre's usage of relievers.

I remember last year, Bowa made a comment in the Times that being young was not an excuse for the Dodgers young players
Because Arizona was young too. Crazy how far a year can make the preception so different.
It's been a good game so far
The only thing I don’t like is how Ethier keeps being involved in fly ball miscommunications.
The only fly ball mis communication was most likely Hudson’s fault.
All other fly ball mishaps were just bad jumps by Ethier.
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions
I know this one was mostly Hudson's fault
Though Ethier should have called him off earlier. There was also the ball he and Kemp collided on in SF and quite a few times he has not called off Hudson on balls he could easily have caught (one of them dropped IIRC).

Bradley was just so damn entertaining. But he cannot stay healthy so I’d take Ethier everytime.

I wonder if he really wants to hit homeruns, but knows he’ll never get to the warning track

If Loney shows no power
Should the Dodgers look elsewhere for a 1B? Or is the rest of his game make up for it.

by Brendan Scolari on May 5, 2009 9:52 PM PDT up reply actions
You know
I didn’t even think about it. But I’d say you have to stick with Loney for all of this year.
Weaver On Acid: 1/2 oz Jagermeister, 1/2 oz Malibu coconut rum, 1/2 oz pineapple juice
by the big grabowski on May 5, 2009 9:53 PM PDT up reply actions
I agree.
Unless you can trade for a great 1st baseman for a cheap price. Otherwise, I’d look into options after the year, but it’d have to be the right move.
by Brendan Scolari on May 5, 2009 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Next year.
The problem is that the market for first baseman kinda suck.
We’re looking at Lyle Overbay for the best 1st baseman FA here.
Perhaps I am overly simplistic
but can’t you convert anybody to first base if they hit well enough?

Plus the Dodgers had Ethier at first last year in spring training
Loney can be addressed by adding a RF too…
by Michael White on May 5, 2009 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah
Some team might be willing to part with a 1B for salary reasons.

Its the Nats.
Nats are coming to Dodgers stadium for a three game series.
Zimmerman has a 23 hitting streak, the Dodgers have a 12 game home streak. Something has to give.

By the way
A 6-5 homestand (which would make the 20-game stretch 10-10) would be horribly disappointing! :)
