Dodgers Hope To Walk Into History Against Nationals

PrintWashington Nationals at Los Angeles Dodgers, May 6, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
If the Dodgers are to make good on my 50 Walk Challenge, there won't be a better chance to pad those totals than tonight against the Nationals. Starting for the Nationals is Daniel Cabrera, who takes wildness to a new level. In his last start, Thursday against St. Louis, Cabrera not only walked five batters, but threw four wild pitches.
Since he entered the league in 2004, Cabrera has more walks (495) than any other pitcher in baseball. In addition, he is near the top of the list in walks per nine as well (5.15). The only starters ahead of him on the list -- Al Leiter, Victor Zambrano, and Dewon Brazelton -- are all out of baseball.
Lest we think Cabrera is a pushover, Chico Harlan of The Washington Post tells us he's holding his own:
Nowadays, Cabrera's starts come with a painful predictability, so long as you're not trying to guess where his next pitch will go. Always, he walks a few too many. Always, he throws at least a few pitches that crash-land about a dozen feet short of the catcher's mitt. Often, he falls behind hitters and pays for it. But there's another element to Cabrera's outings, which excuses Washington's willingness to keep using the right-hander every fifth day: Despite his shortcomings -- despite himself -- Cabrera is getting by.
The full Daniel Cabrera experience blends spastic ineptitude with overriding decency.
Opposing Mr. Cabrera will be Clayton Kershaw, who, despite his 0-0 record, has been near unbeatable at home. Wearing the home whites, Kershaw has allowed one run and eight baserunners in 14 innings, all while striking out 16 batters.
Not only do the Dodgers hold the major league record (shared with the 1911 Tigers) for most consecutive home wins to start a season with 12, but they also have won nine straight home games against Washington. Their last loss to the Nationals at home was May 4, 2005.
In addition, if the Dodgers win tonight, they would tie the 1993 club for the Los Angeles Dodger record with their 13th straight home win in general (at any point in the season).
The Kardashian sisters and their mom are throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. I hope the stadium and dugouts are fully stocked with Purell.
Be sure to get your guesses in for "Just A Bit Outside" (today in English!) before the 7:10pm start.

We better not lose to Cabrera.
He is terrible, despite what Chico Harlan thinks. His FIP is 5.73. Look at his declining FIP and fastball velocity since 2005:
2005: 4.02 FIP 96.2 MPH
2006: 4.20 FIP 94.8 MPH
2007: 5.01 FIP 94.3 MPH
2008: 5.61 FIP 92.6 MPH
2009: 5.73 FIP 90.5 MPH
I would be very surprised if the former flamethrower is ever effective again.
Is Kim Kardashian one of the few who will throw a pitch at DS that could measure up to ...
… Billingsley in lower/upper body ratio? Whoever’s catching her better watch their glove hand if she puts her whole backside into it.
She's got some upper body weight too.

Although Wade wasn’t used last night and Leach hasn’t been used at all, so there are other options.

But considering Kershaw's pitch count
I think we will need to be using Wade et al

Yeah.
J-Mac in the 6th and 7th, Leach in the 8th, and Wade in the 9th?

And Juan Pierre will be the Ty Cobb of our day.

There we go.
Hopefully Kershaw can go one more inning.
That's fine.
1 run in five is good enough, all things considered.

Kershaw's out of the inning.
He doesn’t deserve this Heritage Rookie Performers Clayton Kershaw card at the moment, but he’ll take it.
So who will come in for relief?
Calabaza Cabeza?
Kim Kardashian!
Regardless of how you all feel about her as a human being, I think she is gorgeous.
I know its easy to say now
But Loney should have run hard into second. He froze. Even if the ball is caught, he was too far at that point to not get doubled up anyway.

Never will happen.
Unless an earthquake does.
And a big dump with multiple other stadiums in L.A.
Only real reason we haven’t done it yet because USC football would raise a stink.
Incorrect
USC wanted to renovate the Coliseum and the Coliseum commission raised a stink. Did you miss all of that happening last year?

I don't think we'll see a new baseball stadium in L.A. in our lifetime
it’ll be too expensive and have to be built with private money.
If there’s one thing in L.A. they will never use public funds for it.
I was just talking about the $500 million remodel of sorts
That is supposed to happen the next few years
long before new dodger stadium
there will be an NFL stadium built somewhere in LA area, and that won’t speed up a new stadium for the boys in blue
Is the desire for a new stadium something that just arose?
I don’t understand this.
I mentioned redone
Never anything about new stadium, but it is going to change the feel of dodger stadium so people will have strong feelings, that was my point
Oh, I know what you meant, with regard to the renovation.
It’s posed all over the Dodger website, the plans are.
I don’t see why there needs to be a new stadium.

O-Dog only has a 1 year deal. he could play 2B next year

I think he will eventually.
But probably not right at the start of next year.

he's in his mid 30s
and still one of the most dominant closers in the game
by bucknellbruin on May 6, 2009 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions
