sounds like J-Mac will be the long man tonight…if needed of course

If you want to be really depressed
go look at Rincon and Embree’s ERA’s
No more Weaver?
Too bad, he was going to hit the walkoff.

Memo to the Rockies
We are having serious offensive troubles. If you don’t want this game going till 1 am – you’d best walk our lead off guy and then proceed to commit 3 straight balks. Think big picture.
maybe some wild pitches instead of balks
so it doesn’t seem intentional :)

He' s no good
No drama, what fun is that.

We are one more pen guy from having a dominant pen IMO
Give me young inexperienced guys with good stuff any day.
Loney, Kemp and Martin
It would be nice. If, you know, {shuffles feet} if it wasn’t too inconvenient, if one of you guys could, you know, shucks… END THIS FREAKING GAME.
He'd better have Brady Anderson on speed dial
if he even wants to hit 20
Doesn’t that kind of give you a little bit of pause when etching in planning our lineup with Lambo or Russell, etc, for the next decade? I get, different players and all, but sometimes the future is pretty far away :)
by Eric Stephen on Jun 29, 2009 10:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Yup, I'd rather plan my lineup with Miggy Cabrera in it.

Consider the Rockies duly warned
We won’t score. So if they don’t – they are just gonna gas their pen. Not worth it for a team in a wild card chase

Yeah seems a bit
hyperbolic on that one but it was a pretty sad swing. I’m sure we’ve seen other terrible swings in our lifetimes. But… GAH.

J-Mac better be ready to pitch for awhile.
I don’t want to see Loney on the bump. Well, I do actually, but you know what I mean.
by Brendan Scolari on Jun 29, 2009 10:49 PM PDT reply actions
They could have just left Wolf in
and swapped him and James.
Is Josh Fogg really coming in?
Cuz that would make me really, really happy
If they let Loney pitch
It’s quite possible he’ll look like a David Price clone without the killer heat.
I'm with you!!!
I think we’re in the clear
Me to, but I was going to do that anyway

SHould Torre have done the double switch there?
Mota and Ellis (for Martin) so Mota could go one more if needed?
Oh well hopefully he won’t be!
And then Martin wouldn't have to catch so many innings.
Ah, the futility of logic.

damn, i guess we won't get to see fogg
because we’re winning it now.

It would be a sweet victory is somehow AJ Ellis can get his first hit and parlay that
into a Dodger victory.

Still waiting for that first home run

Mota could have done that

Major League 2, perhaps? Pierre says to Iannetta, “I’m not sliding!”

Pierre is getting a little tired of
looking at Rafy and Hudson make outs while he’s on base
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Sadly - me too
Can’t believe it’s come to that
That's better than what I was thinking earlier...
I wanted Blake DeWitt back. haha
I think he’s still a month or more away…he looked really awkward throwing the ball 40 feet, and was moving his arm very gingerly yesterday
by Eric Stephen on Jun 29, 2009 10:59 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't believe it -
They are letting Furcal swing!
well if he attempts to bunt he’ll just pop out like last time

Pierre needs to run
you steal on a reliever every time
At least hit and run it is not like Rafy can hit a line drive

The problem with Raffy
is that he’s an 8 hitter (right now) hitting 1 or 2
I know
I just meant that there aren’t any better alternatives.
by Brendan Scolari on Jun 29, 2009 11:07 PM PDT up reply actions
The question for me is there someone better
the question is should they both rest more? Hudson needs to rest more for sure, and raffy already gets some time off. So it’s less should they be replaced than can the Dodgers benefit from someone else filling in for tem more often right now. And I think they can.
Not at the same time mind you.
Castro, Hu, DeWitt are all capable backups.
I think
with all the June off days, that was their rest. As the schedule gets tougher, they might see more time off (at least Raffy)
by Eric Stephen on Jun 29, 2009 11:07 PM PDT up reply actions
I think that resting them a bit more would be good
But I still think Castro and Hu are garbage at this point.
by Brendan Scolari on Jun 29, 2009 11:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Castro
hasn’t been garbage so far this year has he?
(Not that I expected much out of him at start of the year.)

Outside of Beli and Troncoso (I know, that’s a lot), I think everyone is available tomorrow…maybe not Leach (two light outings in a row)

Also
if they need an arm, it would most likely be Vargas anyway

You're right
Elbert should probably keep starting
by silverwidow on Jun 29, 2009 11:11 PM PDT up reply actions
And we scored because our pitcher
faked a time out, got a balk and then got a hit off a rattled pitcher. The non – pitching hitters have looked like the Giants. Not the GIants that scored 10 runs tonight but the Giants that everyone thinks has a lousy offense.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
The San Jose Giants
Against MLB pitching maybe (Nah, they’d probably still be better). The SF Giants offense is much better than this.
by Brendan Scolari on Jun 29, 2009 11:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Last time I checked
Which was last week. The Giants have averaged 4 runs a game in June, the same amount they averaged in May and April they averaged slightly less than that.
That’s 3 months of games for a sample. They could be better than that but its hard to see where it will come from.
by bhsportsguy on Jun 29, 2009 11:12 PM PDT up reply actions
Is this a case of bad offense
or just great pitching?
Rockies hitters: .143 (6 for 42)
Dodgers hitters: .186 (8 for 43)

Late last year
His fastball is MASSIVE out of the pen (for him, anyway).
by silverwidow on Jun 29, 2009 11:12 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah
He can hit those speeds as a reliever. He did it when he was in the ’pen before.
by Brendan Scolari on Jun 29, 2009 11:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Billingsley needs a big start tomorrow
none of this “hit the wall in the 5th inning” stuff. Everyone pitched tonight – 7+ is needed.
i think both teams
are trying to see how many strikeouts the opposing team’s relievers can pile up
Dodgers - 2008 NL West Champions
Cardinals - 2008 NFC Champions
I wonder if he still has a future as a starter
Given his performance in each spot.

That is the best J Mac has looked since we saw him last Sept.

I fail to see how Ned could make a deal for bullpen help that would be better
