Dodgers Add "B" Game Monday Morning

by Eric Stephen on Mar 7, 2010 2:04 PM PST in News Comment 28 comments

The Dodgers have added a "B" game Monday to make up for the game canceled today in Mesa. Tomorrow at 9:30am, on the White Sox practice field at 8:30am, the Dodgers and ~~Cubs~~ White Sox will play a make-up game (White Sox were also rained out Sunday). Probable pitchers for the Dodgers are Scott Elbert, Josh Lindblom, Ramon Troncoso, Travis Schlichting, Kenley Jansen, Javy Guerra, and Armando Zerpa.

The Dodgers also have a game Monday at 12:05 in Scottsdale against the Giants. Probable pitchers in that game are Chad Billingsley, Clayton Kershaw, Josh Towers, Carlos Monasterios, Jon Link, Francisco Felix, Juan Perez. That's a hell of a tag team to start.

I’m assuming only the 1:05 game will be on radio?

Yep

Can we make a C game that has Joe Torre catching?

by Tripon on Mar 7, 2010 2:20 PM PST reply actions

And AJ Ellis pitching...

He threw 8 innings between his ’06 and ’07 seasons in Jacksonville.

Fun note about Ellis

He is in the Austin Peay Athletics HOF. George Sherrill, who also graduated from Austin Peay, is not in the HOF.

Lakers lose. Artest hair makes no difference.

Pissed I couldn't watch the game

F…ing dispute between ABC and Cablevision, so I don’t get ABC right now.

Nice comeback, but what a shitty game.

by Eric Stephen on Mar 7, 2010 2:25 PM PST up reply actions

Any idea of who the cubs will have in the B game

I am interested to see (see in the sense of check out the stats after the game) Elbert Lindblom and Jansen against some quality players.

by MammothDodger on Mar 7, 2010 2:48 PM PST reply actions

Carlos Silva seems like he belongs on the D-list.

by Tripon on Mar 7, 2010 2:52 PM PST up reply actions

Probably won't know until tomorrow

Cubs had some regulars in their lineup, so I’m not sure if they would want them for their regular game instead…Dodgers had 7 starters out of their lineup, so it might not change much.

With the Angel preseason game rained out, MLB TV is replaying the Game 2 NLCS game. The one in which Padilla kicked ass. Maybe the only game we wanted to see replayed.

Padilla is dealing

but I’m about to lose the game to Oscar Red Carpet gibberish. Luckily I have a Loney profile to write.

B Games

are a lot of fun (unless your last name is DeJesus).

Seriously, it’s set up on the practice field and there are concrete bleachers where people can sit. It feels like you are watching a high school game or even a rec league softball game.

Last year, I was watching a B Game and this older woman and a baby who I figured was her grandson were in front of me. I was playing around a little bit with the kid, making faces, getting the kid to laugh. Nice kid, nice lady – Turns out the woman was the mom of one of the players. Who? A hint: I found out later that the baby’s name was “Dreson.”

Andre Ethier. His family lives in the area. And more importantly, that sounds like an unfortunate name he’d inflict on his child.

by Tripon on Mar 7, 2010 5:23 PM PST up reply actions

Winner - it was Ethier's family...

and he really did name his son Dreson.

Later that spring, my fiance played in the WIN Clinic and Maggie Ethier was on her team. Really nice people.

by JJ 24 on Mar 7, 2010 5:46 PM PST up reply actions

Dreson

That was the worst news of last spring :)

Classic story though.

by Eric Stephen on Mar 7, 2010 5:48 PM PST via mobile up reply actions

Dreson Ethier doesn’t sound like a ball player. More like a beatnik leaving off of government welfare. :)

DDDRREEE-SON ETHIER

I could see it

by lakersdodgersyankees4life on Mar 7, 2010 6:26 PM PST up reply actions

I'd mock Andre for naming his son Dreson

But I’m not sure I’d have a leg to stand on, considering I named my kid Spawn of Kavula.

Joe Maddon said today he’s mulling hitting BJ Upton 7th. Bet you didn’t know in 32 PA in 7 hole in ’09 Upton had .310 AVG/.375 OBP/.517 SLG

I know Jayson Stark is the king of small sample size data, but facepalm to the max.

by Tripon on Mar 7, 2010 7:45 PM PST reply actions

Are any of these games on tv?
