Weaver pulled for Leach… I thought Weaver was doing pretty well, darn.

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.

Joel Peralta.

Seems like the guy who would have closed out the game for the Rockies.

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   0 recs

Yup, I'd rather plan my lineup with Miggy Cabrera in it.

Didn't see the bullpen

but I think J-Mac (if Leach is out)

he didnt make many pitches

That’s what I’m thinking… Not many other guys left in the pen. Maybe Mota?

Er moot point

but if Martin had gotten on wouldn’t that be like conceding the inning tho?

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

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   0 recs

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.

by underdog on Jun 29, 2009 11:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

Yah But I still think Hudson

looks tired and could use a game off each week right now. too.

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.

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   0 recs

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.

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

then what we have now and what we could use in the system.

Well if he thinks so, hmmm

This might totally be my imagination, but I feel that several Dodgers have been a half-step slow running down the line tonight.

which is a compliment. If we can’t have Shimmin we might as well have someone better at it then he is.

Someone had to step it up!

That said, I poorly phrased the injury comment. I just meant a poor week+ and somewhat slow running is not reason enough to say it’s a for sure injury—that’s all.

But i’ll bring the snarkiness back tomorrow. don’t you worry.

I still remember back two weeks ago

when he hit a double and pulled up lame into 2nd, then winced like hell in his next ab. Right about then he stopped hitting. Maybe not related but my math skills stopped at 1 + 1 so I’m always at that level.

That was a grinder…. Great win though, even though Raffy just
about killed me with his anti-offense / bunts and hacks. He needs some rest.

But A.E was clutch tonight, again….
