Multiple strikeouts in one game this year?
by Michael White on Apr 27, 2010 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions
Kemp is
conspicuously absent for our clean up hitter
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Steiner: “Kuroda [has pitched well. He gave the stats.] Don’t pin the rap on him.”

I'm sure they won't fall behind by 30 points again
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I suspect the Lakers will score at least 1 point.

By the way, I owe you an apology for doubting that OKC could win more than 1 against LAL.
As you can see, clearly I am no expert….
by Michael White on Apr 27, 2010 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions
i told you OKC is no joke. Westbrook has been by far the best player in the series, and they just cant stop him. The Lakers need to pay really, really well in these next 3 games to advance.

Reminds of a series a few years ago
When Parker just tore up the Lakers for a couple of games in San Antonio. The Lakers clogged the middle, Parker got a lot of bumps (w/no calls) and he seem to regress. Not saying that will happen to Russell but if they don’t get the calls in LA tonight, we’ll see how they fight through it.
I just dont think they can not call stuff because its usually a big/little situation. Its one thing if Fisher could stay with him on a drive and then get away with a bump. Its another thing when Russ is always going against a big where he can use his superior body control to create obvious contact and get to the line. It’s also a lot more obvious when Bynum is involved with the contact as oppossed to another guard.

Dodgers have scored one run since the 7th inning on Saturday.
One run in 21 innings.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
Maybe you undervalued
your over valuation of Manny
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Silver lining
They have only given up 4 over that span
by Eric Stephen on Apr 27, 2010 2:59 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Indeed.
And I should point out, too that the one run they have scored in those 21 innings was a game-winner.

Of Course Bays first Mets HR was vs the Dodgers

Steiner: "Dodgers have scored one run in the last 20 innings"
C’mon, Charlie — it’s 21. 8th-13th Saturday, that’s six. Nine on Sunday. Six today. 21.

If he can pitch 180 innings this year, sure

2-1 switch by the Mets
Nieve into pitch, Francoeur into RF. GMJ, Santana out.

question
Any thought of moving Kemp back to the 2 hole? He was raking in that spot…
by lakersdodgersyankees4life on Apr 27, 2010 3:09 PM PDT reply actions
If you can guarantee his 38% HR/FB rate he had in the 2 spot, sure. He was bound to cool down eventually.
by UCLADodger32 on Apr 27, 2010 3:10 PM PDT up reply actions
haha, i wasnt talking about the HR rate sustaining
but generally, he seemed to do better in the 2 hole. idk, maybe it was an illusion, but he seemed to be.. almost more confident in the 2 hole than in the 4 hole
by lakersdodgersyankees4life on Apr 27, 2010 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Wow
Potentially high leverage appearance for Link?

I spent way too much thinking what you meant by “just another…..”
then i realized it was not JA, and much simpler then the ideas I had in my head.
by Michael White on Apr 27, 2010 3:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Let's see the regular players have come up 3 times and they can't score a run
Let’s blame the guy who gets to bat once.
We haven't scored in 22 innings
we barely won the one game we did win.
We got shutout by someone who will be in AAA in August
They don’t like and have never liked GA
Snark is allowed right now.
They were complete games waiting to happen. We can compromise :)

My mom told me that if I can't say anything nice

Blah
Wake me when the Dodgers plate a run or two. There’s nothing like spoiling back to back outstanding outings from your starting rotation by not scoring nay runs
Doesnt pulling him negate the advantage of him being more effiicent?
I mean Hiroki could have struck out just as well as GA. He could have bunted Caroll to second thus avoiding the DP. Anyone know what his pitch count was?
Bunted a runner into scoring position, down by 2 runs?
by Michael White on Apr 27, 2010 3:18 PM PDT up reply actions
He got his LH PH against a RHP
That’s what he had to do.

I still say this is less frustrating then blowing 5 run leads and losing 13-11
by oshea2002 on Apr 27, 2010 3:17 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
agree and disagree. At there in those games there a feeling the offense can make up for the crappy pitching. This just feels like 1 run and theres no chance to make it up.
by UCLADodger32 on Apr 27, 2010 3:19 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm glad you are around
because I was going to ask if you still prefer 2002 to a team crushing the ball (with crap pitching.)

I umpired for a team last night that blew a 16 run lead…it was painful to watch

Umpired for a team, huh?
Someone’s on the take! :)
by Eric Stephen on Apr 27, 2010 3:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Look at it this way
Good starting pitching (though Kershaw probably should have given up more runs) in the last 3 games. Even Padilla left Thursday’s game as a potential winning pitcher.
'cept maybe
At some point this season both the offense and pitching will be running on full cylinders at the same time, and at that point we will win many games, and there shall be libations and much celebration
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
Agreed
and I will weasel a steak out of somebody!

No LA Dodger pitcher has ever appeared in 13 of the team’s 1st 19 games…until now (Ramon Troncoso)
Perranoski (1967) & Hough (1977) hit 12

Did anyone notice?
A couple times during the WA series the camera would pan to Joe and his head would slowly be shaking back and forth as if to say, “I’m staying in baseball for this?” Never really saw Joe give the head wag.

Any situation where you think you have to play the IF in

Well, let's not talk game over yet, Dodgers can't go forever without scoring a run
At least I don’t think so
we are down 4-0
and we are playing like we are 4-0. . . . its garbage time ramon ortiz. . stop burning all these pitchers

Or will Haegar shine for a complete game (or take one for the team)?

I think Sherrill is doing a good job restoring faith in his pitching
Hopefully he’ll settle in and be as potent as he was last year
thats 1 more run than we will have in 2 games

Dodgers probably just going to tie it up
Because what fun is a double header and 3 games in 24 hours unless one of those games is 17 innings
kemp stares at 3 fastballs right down over the plate. Dont know what the hell he was doing up there.
He probably just heard the audio of Ned’s interview :)

I guess. But you cant guess offspeed 0-2. you have to look fastball and adjust. He just stood there and took 3 hittable pitches.

Just let Sherrill pitch to Tatis
He already will do better than Chan Ho Park.
Tatis, Barajas, Francoeur, already down 4-0. Just leave Sherrill in. Save RamonO, who shouldn’t even be warming up, in case you need long relief for Haeger. Only Broxton, Beli, and Monk unused in the pen today already.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Even if he wasn't going to keep up that pace
Manny’s .500+ OBP was going to be tough for this team to replace, they don’t really have a 3.5 outfielder with Pierre gone.
Again, not saying I want Pierre back but most teams don’t have a 4th outfielder that is as good as the other 3 and certainly not one as good as the Dodgers starting 3.
Since Reed johnson is better than Pierre, we didnt have a 3.5 outfielder with Pierre either.
