Dodgers Can't Wait To Get Between The Lines

PrintWashington Nationals at Los Angeles Dodgers, May 7, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
Sometimes a baseball game can provide a much needed relief or release of all the stress and pressures of the day. Tonight's game against the Nationals is one of those times.
Lest we forget the rest of the club is still a damn good team. The suspension of Manny Ramirez runs through July 2, for a total of 50 games. There are four other clubs that think they are going to gain on the Dodgers during Manny's absence, so here's a goal for the Dodgers: "win" the division over this 50-game stretch. Widen your 6 game lead.
To quote Jake Taylor:
Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do...Win the whole fucking thing.
I am excited to see Jordan Zimmermann pitch for the Nationals. Baseball America named him as the Nationals' best prospect this year, and said he "is the rare pitcher who projects to have four average or better offerings in the majors." The Dodgers will try to feast off Zimmermann's fastball, curve, slider, and changeup as he makes his fourth major league start.
For the Dodgers, as always in times of crisis, they call on The Wolf.

I am really pumped for the next four games.
I want to win each one handily to show the rest of baseball that we can win without Manny.
And looking at the picture
Holy…. that’s a lot of reporters.
Ok, I was mistaken.
For some reason I thought that was batting practice and the reporters were gathered around the cage. I didn’t realize it was Torre’s press conference.
Not sure what I was thinking.

Looks like it., a little bit at least.
What’s going on in that picture?

My Pick to Click
Andre Ethier, steppin’ up in place of Manny.
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Seriously
I’ve never rooted harder for the Dodgers in games in May than I have now. There’s no way they win the next 4 games, heck maybe they’ll split, but the more they win the less we’ll hear “told you so” and “they can’t win without Manny” right out of the gate. It’s too bad almost that there’s this long winning streak going on right now because regardless of whether they had Manny or not they would be well overdue to lose one of the next couple of games. (But then, we’ve been saying that for awhile.) Anyway, really hope they play well. Tonight might be hard with all the distraction, but I guarantee you they’ll be out to prove something.
Will have to miss a chunk of tonight’s alas, but am rooting hard for them!
So agreed.
Especially Giants’ fans. ;-)

And the next three games would be even better.
Sweeping the Giants without Manny would kill Giants fans.

go manny
honestly, the dodgers can get away with losing manny for 50, i say, how about using the extra $ that manny doesn’t get now to pay for Pedro
I like how ESPN's main story is how this affects the Red Sox
Aww those poor Red Sox and their championships they get to keep
Seriously
Everything has to revolve around the Red Sox somehow.

Ned Colleti on Dodgers live before the game
We are lucky to have the veteran Juan Pierre.
Ya, that’s the first thing I thought too.
If Juan Pierre loses his job for the 4th time
I think he may actually kill someone.

I guess I have to
give up my “Pierre traded to White Sox” fantasy…
…for a couple months anyway.
Glad Manny’s due back before trade deadline at least!
Btw to Giants fans
y’all may gloat about Manny’s absence but the Dodgers outfield with Pierre, + Kemp + Ethier is still several times better than who the Giants are trotting out there. and would be with XPaul starting for Pierre, as well.
You live up in the bay area right?
I live in my So Cal bubble. As such, I don’t think I personally know any Giants fans.

Did you see my note earlier?
with all the different threads it may have slipped through the cracks…
Colletti said last night that the Dodgers don’t get any relief for any future Andruw Jones contracts. 2009 only.
I advoided DT today
save for noting all the Red Sox trolls? They’re happy that their best player during their two championships was suspended for PEDs? Doesn’t that mean their championships are tainted?
I only briefly saw DT during the day
and I notice that Jon had to prominently feature the rules with the heavy traffic today
Thank you Matt Kemp
We soooooo needed that!

by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions
For some reason
I’m always irrationally impressed with 1B when they stretch across the runner into foul territory to catch a throw.
Makes you wonder about the current defensive spectrum advocated right now.
I know 1st base is at the bottom, but I would argue that the current defensive numbers are missing something for 1st basemen.
See, a lot of people thought Kemp should be batting 4th.
But the reason Kemp was able to hit a grand slam was because he was batting 6th. :)
I got a feeling
that if Xavier Paul gets some significant playing time during these next 50 games, they are going to switch the name of the Left Field Bleachers from “Mannywood” to “Xanadu!”

At least he hits a homer every once in awhile.

So how were the hits?
Any hard ones grand slam?
Ethier’s was a flare
Loney’s was a liner up the middle
Kemp’s was an opposite field shot
Blake’s was a fly ball can of corn that dropped between the confused Dukes & Dunn
Thanks.
How did Blake get a triple off of that?
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:01 PM PDT up reply actions
That triple should have been a 3 base error.

It was a high popup
and both were converging to catch it but got confused. Dunn covered his head in fear, then Dukes picked up the ball and Beard hustled all the way to 3B

by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Dunn seems like
one of those rare players who does as much damage defensively whether at 1B or in the OF :)

They should call him up from AAA. Although dude’s got some attitude problems.
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions
For what it's worth
He’s had good defensive ratings in the outfield this year and last year, and a lot of his time is spent playing center.

D-backs lost to the Pads 4-3
In case anyone didn’t know. It looks like our lead against them will expand to 9.5 games.
Unless I just jinxed it.
That would be pretty terrible though.
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions
Clueless Joe
Still batting Ethier and Loney back to back. Then we have three righties in a row, that makes a lot of sense.
Well it will score no matter what order you put them in.
But I think we could score a little bit more with a half-sensible lineup.
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Also
Torre has been doing that against RHP for a while this year. He’s gambling on the increased damage during the first 5-6 innings, with the cost of decreased leverage in late innings.
I would do it your way, but I’m not sure it makes a huge difference either way.
It doesn't
But it’s still stupid. How does sliding Kemp between the two of them hurt you in the first 5-6 innings?
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Its not like having Kemp in the middle
Makes Loney worthless or something though. The difference isn’t very big, and it’s a big help in the later innings.
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:22 PM PDT up reply actions
No
My lineup:
Raffy
O-Dog

Don't walk Flores.
You’ve got a 6-0 lead Wolf, make them hit the ball.
Flores seems to be a more qualified candidate for all star
than most of the other catchers in the NL
Certainly a down year so far
Luckily Russell Martin’s Manny impression during these next 50 games will lock up his spot.
Flores is hitting 291 / .360 /494
I might have to pick him up on my fantasy team

Besides the score
another positive point is that the Dodgers have left no one on base in the first 3 innings. :)
No!
Ethier’s OPS has fallen below 1.000.
Rake Ethier rake!!!
Ethier amazes me.
I thought what he did last year was his peak, and he just decides to smash what he did last year with this year.
Agreed.
Hopefully he keeps it up in Manny’s absence.

How the hell
Has Zimmerman given up 6 runs and Wolf 0, and yet Wolf still has thrown 17 more pitches and only got one more out?!?!?
Zimmermann has pulled a Wolf
and retired basically everyone sense the granny in short order, except for the Blake “triple”
If Pierre continues to hit 9th
I advocate a SB attempt every time he gets on. I say we chip in to buy him a bunch of batting gloves, one for each stolen base.
He should have gone for the inside-the parker.
That way Juan could throw him out, and Wolf could go six innings.
by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 8:35 PM PDT up reply actions
He's a better shortstop than Derek Jeter. :)
Also, its hilarious that Furcal is basically being told to walk onto the grass to catch Juan Pierre’s throws from the outfield.

there were a few games when the feed would cut out a couple times, but for the most part it was fine.
just worry
his first year as the true closer and it seems like we run him out there for too many >1 inning saves
wade and the rest of the pen is great
if you’re playing the padres, nationals, giants, and diamondbacks
I don't buy that at all.

by Brendan Scolari on May 7, 2009 9:40 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm OK with
Troncoso, Wade, or Belisario in the 8th.
I don’t think Troncoso should have been brought in earlier. Leach or McD should have been pitching with a 6-1 lead
Using your closer in high leverage situations
is better management than using him in ONLY the 9th.

No
but your post was silly. Wade is obviously not a piece of shit.
by Michael White on May 7, 2009 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions
No
but I co-manage the site. If you want to vent, fine. But if you want to call a player like Wade who has done far more good than harm a piece of shit because he has a bad night, just go away. Go buy seats at Dodger Stadium and boo Billingsley or Kershaw when they give up their first hit in the 3rd inning of a 6-0 game.
It's context
saying “fuck” or “shit” is OK in small doses, like “shit, I’m pissed,” but if you are so narrow-minded and shortsighted that you have to call the players — good ones, mind you — pieces of shit, when they have a bad game, you just don’t get it.
Call Mota a piece of shit? Fine, he is.
Call Wade a piece of shit? You don’t know baseball. Go away.
subjectivity and denial
that’s what this is, people can criticize a HOF manager Torre as much as they want but I say one thing about Corey Wade, Corey Wade? and you act like I’m Jeff Kent dissing Vin Scully, my pont the whole time is that we need a better bullpen and a better rotation or we can stop dreaming about anykind of playoff run, if you want to defend corey wade, then great, he has a decent ERA and there are worse options in the pen, he is not a reliable set up man for the 8th in front of Broxton, so basically he can help us beat the worst teams in baseball (usually) but when it really counts he is going to blow it
That is fine
Just say that, and explain yourself instead of being a mouthbreather. That’s all I was asking.
by Eric Stephen on May 7, 2009 10:03 PM PDT up reply actions
i get frustrated
like any dodger fan would the day of a manny suspension and blowing a 6 run lead to the Nationals, i’m sorry for dissing wade, i just don’t believe in him yet, i hope he proves me wrong and becomes an awesome set up to broxton, shoot, wade is from the same state as me, I of all people should be rooting for him

Dodger Talk is going to be going after the bullpen and Manny.
especially the bullpen (and at least 2-3 on Torre’s choices – although I disagree with asking Big John to get 6 outs with 0 outs).
He could pitch the 8th
And then have someone else pitch the 9th. That might have worked, but I doubt Joe would do it.

Makes more sense to use your best pitcher when the game is on the line
instead of saving him for a save opportunity that didn’t happen in the 9th.

not using your best pitcher there is asking to lose.

I know this sounds like hindsight, but I swear when they brought in Mota I thought that the run(s) he allows might be the difference. It would be nice to be only down 2 right now. Of course, they could have used Broxton earlier too…
