game 3.
His innings are still controlled. He’s getting one more regular season start.
He’s at 165 innings right now. Assuming that he only goes 5 innings in his last start. He’d be at 170 for the playoffs, then one start in the NLDS, two starts in the NLCS, and two starts in the WS.
Another 30 innings, and at 200. :)
Assuming we go far enough
for his innings pitched to become a concern :)

If you can explain how a single would score Manny from first
without any screwy fielding, I’ll take it.

I like Tony now that hes not a padre
I mean he just seems like a good old fashioned baseball guy that loves the game. I wasn’t really old enough to watch him, but i like listening to him talk about baseball actually
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I'm pleased with the walk

SAN DIEGO — Dodgers manager Joe Torre confirmed Wednesday that Clayton Kershaw will start Saturday’s game against Colorado instead of Hiroki Kuroda, who will be skipped because of a stiff neck.
Torre said Kuroda felt the stiffness while running in the outfield at PETCO Park on Tuesday, and it was not a factor Monday, when Kuroda was battered for seven runs [three earned] on eight hits in four innings in Pittsburgh.
We are pretty much sold out.
I’m holding back two tickets for Ned and Logan so they can sit with us:)
Awesome
True Blue Game, Clayton, Stars Wars, Possible pennant game – nice
To bad about Kuroda however.
I can't make that game but I
certainly hope the division is wrapped up before saturday and the pennant about 2 weeks later

ya i just meant it as an injury update, not that I'd necessarily like him to play there

Im glad we went 3 outs quickly
I wanna see Garland pitch the no-hitter and shut the haters up
cause the first 2 hits dont count

I thought that was pretty strange. Seeing as how Angel fans are probably 85% Laker fans so I can’t imagine they love hearing that chant.

Look on the bright side. The Dodgers pitchers haven't been giving up a ton of runs
except for that Andy LaRoche game
by Michael White on Sep 30, 2009 7:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I know. I guess the “The Dodgers pitchers haven’t been giving up a ton of runs” was sarcasm then.
In a game like that
one starter and back-end relievers got toasted. It’s an aberration – throw it out and forget about it.
Mark Loretta will save us all...

i guess the dodgers want that champagne to ferment...

nope
hes pitched solidly for dodgers before this start

no he hasnt
hes given up a ton of hits to mediocre teams
but not alot of runs have scored,,,,
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
to say he did it again
implies hes failed terribly with the Dodgers and that is obviously not the case

Jon "In play, runs" Garland...
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
fuck this!!!!!!
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
uh yes
but there was no way he woulda made the rotation anyway
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
There were quite a few Dodger fans who wanted him to pitch instead of Billingsley a couple weeks ago
Agreed
I was nervous (and still am) about Garland getting the nod over Chad in the playoffs
by Michael White on Sep 30, 2009 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions
jeeez if i wanted to kill myself i coulda just tuned in to Newscentral...
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
based on our run output of late
4-0 is a huge deficit
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Everyone who was complaining about the walks yesterday with Billingsley should complain about all the hits and walks Garland gave up today.
He is what he is.
Whatever happens tonight
I just hope the fans don’t start that annoying “Beat LA” chant.
they will in the 8th and 9th
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
The offense
3 years—I haven’t heard anyone address what happens when the Dodgers fear they will lose. I hope they can win one of 3 from the Rocks, but I’m not that confident. It has to be a coaching problem.
Hm. I don't remember this coach having that problem with the last team he coached for the past decade

They went to the playoffs all of those years
oh and the current team he’s coaching has gone to the playoffs both years too
