Not to speak ill of our Casey, but that picture of Wolf is the best picture of a 2009 Dodger with a beard so far this season.

Nice

I think you are right about McDonald…with two long men in Weaver and Milton there’s no need for McDonald…let him get some starts in AAA, then be ready for the second half (say August 1 or so) if/when Milton falters.

by Eric Stephen on Jun 29, 2009 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's hard to imagine

Milton, Weaver, and Vargas all in the bullpen at the same time. And with a four-man rotation until July 11, there’s probably no point to a 13-man pitching staff, so the upcoming roster moves will be interesting.

The only things I’m pretty certain of is Manny will be activated and Kuo will go to the 60-day DL. Likely McDonald gets optioned. But there needs to be one more 40-man spot made available if Vargas is activated.

by David Young on Jun 29, 2009 7:15 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I was thinking a Jones DFA (followed by a minor league contract to keep him), but I think Ellis gets sent down and the 40-man spot is solved with a Repko DFA. No inside info, just a hunch.

Yes, probably. Though it was hit pretty deep. Not sure Manny would’ve had him at 2nd either.

Yeah, I don’t think there’s a need to get too down on Pierre for that…they probably would have made it on Manny too, although perhaps they would have been less likely to try.

Hasn't LaRoche outplayed Ian this year?

.220 .298 .485 for Stewart

.274 .350 .391 for LaRoche.

Huh, I thought Stewart was hitting better this year.

Home runs will do that

Essentially the same at the plate (.335 wOBA for Ian, .333 for Andy).

Stewart has been bad in the field (-9.0 runs below average) while Andy has been +1.4.

Rockies can't use Street tonight, right?

Nope

not after 3 straight appearances in the As series. Only out of desperation in a long game.

What bugs the crap out of me

is that our Dodger crowd thought Gagne was a rock star and Broxton is just as good right now and the response is damn tepid for Big Jon

strasburg has 3-4 pitches the he can rely on

kershaw only relies on two.

I’ll jump on the Strassburg bandwagon after he wins 20 his first year or his 100th career win

We don't really know how hard Strasbrugh will really throw.

He threw 100+ only starting once per week.

When he gets on a 5 day schedule, he’s going to take some off.

Do you walk Kemp?

I might, Loney won’t bunt and is a good DP candidate

by bhsportsguy on Jun 29, 2009 9:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

You don’t think Joe will ask Loney to bunt?

how did that happen?

my t.v. came back to “and ethier gets a break there” with him standing on 2nd base

O.A.

by Ollie on Jun 29, 2009 9:52 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

A single into the gap that Fowler

kind of muffed cutting off which allowed Ethier to go to 2nd

Questioning the non-walk here? Given his propensity for K’s, i kind of understand it. But i’d walk him.

by KellyStephen on Jun 29, 2009 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not questioning it

I just thought the quote was incredibly funny

by Eric Stephen on Jun 29, 2009 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I wouldn't.

Then a walk gets Ethier to third.

Was there ever a question about my ability to run a game?No, I can run a game with the best of them. Winning is what I find hard to do.

Did I think about walking Kemp? Yes. But did I look at his strikeouts? yes. Can I ask another question of myself? Of course

Wolf registers ND #11 tonight.

And Broxton has a chance to register cheap win #7 tonight. :)

Strictly a platoon play that has worked … so far.

I hope Martin makes them pay

I still would’ve walked Kemp for Loney, but maybe this will work out for them.

Andre just seems so slow these days. Maybe just perception problems.
