The Dodgers actually scored three runs! The game is tied 3-3 at the end of four innings. James Loney was ejected after taking a questionable called strikeout to end the third inning with the bases loaded. Casey Blake entered the game to play 3B and Ronnie Belliard moved to 1B.

Two more relievers

He doesn't pause for twenty minutes to grunt
So its not anime-inspired.
I’m don’t complain about umpires strike zone when MLB doesn’t care to enforce its own rules.
Really, the ump creates his own strike zone, and will change it according to what he believes it is.
yeah it just hurts when he changes it when we have the bases loaded with a full count

this guy has sorta a Nomo-esque wind up
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
Great. Swing twice at a pitch 2 feet up and away.

Feel bad for you guys have to hear Collins and Lyons...
The Mets announcer team of Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and their pbp guy are really good.
Those changeups from a lefty to Kemp should look like they are strikes and then are breaking away from him

right. Except he swung at two that started a foot outside and shoulder high.

are you guys
as worried about your relievers as we are? Niever has 13 appearences already this year along with Takahashi and Feliciano comin in too much. I just dont think its a good idea to bring troncoso in twice in the same day. Randolph/Torre and Manuel seem like the worst BP managers ive ever watched

Most game pitched, LA Dodgers' first 20 games of season
Troncoso, 2010: 14
Charlie Hough, 1977: 13
Ron Perranoski, 1967: 13
Mike Marshall, 1974: 12
He also appeared in a record 13 straight games

I stand corrected on my comment on the previous game about Tron making another appearance. I guess the fact that Loney got tossed threw out the plan Joe and I had discussed on the phone between games.
The dude is going to have to get his suits (like he owns any) re-tailored to add some inches to his right sleeve.

Have I previously mentioned how much I despise walks???? The entire Dodger pitching staff (with the exception of Broxton right now) thinks they’re a bunch of Greg Maddux’s who can paint a f’ing corner. They cannot. Throw strikes, damnit! Challenge a hitter!. Let the D at least try to make a play.
This is my pet peave w/the team right now and I’m sorry but it all falls on Honeycutt. He needs to tell his guys to throw strikes, but that is clearly not in his makeup.
kuroda challenges too

What if Honey is telling them to throw strikes?

I dont see a way to keep him in the rotation. He hasnt thrown his knuckleball for strikes the last 3 times around, and he throws an insane amount of fastballs.

He got the out at 2B, but it looked like he tagged 2B without the ball

Got the out call at second though.
And Roly-Poly ain’t much of a target, at least vertically, at 1B.

If the Charlie Haeger experiment is going to yield a 5th starter
Torre needs to stick with him in situations like this and not panic because he walks the #1 and #2 guys. Walk come with the territory with knuckleballers.

Obviously, but hes been atrocious out there and the numbers back it up. The power has been great thus far, but the other parts of his game are lacking. He needs to be a superstar everywhere for this team to win.

At about the all-star break
it was up around +15 as I recall. He had a really poor second half and it took a nosedive.

They won't win
but with the Spurs on the verge of beating the Mavs and the Jazz possibly beating the Nuggets, the OKC series could possibly be the toughest series for the Lakers. The Jazz and Spurs style of play is just what the Zen Dr. ordered. They will kill the Jazz and Spurs, IMO. I hope the Thunder don’t get embarrased tonight. Need a quality effort from the front line to have a chance…..oh and 40 from Durant and 25 and 15 from Westbrook. :)
yeah
fisher is not getting absolutly killed?
He is, but you dont want Kobe extended energy on defense when the result will be basically the same. Let Kobe rest on Sefolosha and take the Westbrook beating

There’s no way Haeger gets another start, correct? I can’t for the life of me see justification for running him out there again unless it’s pure desperation.
well i will say
that he was rushed out there on 3 days rest
There’s no way [put Dodgers starter name here] gets another start,[after x number of starts] correct? I can’t for the life of me see justification for running him out there again unless it’s pure desperation. [cue mass hysteria]
87 mph fastball
below average curve… above average change begs to differ
elys command wasnt too good in AAA this year..
i just cant wait for tomorrow to see what he throws to the mets..
i want to see the 87 mph fastballs..
That sounds alot like the last of Jason Schmidt
by 68elcamino427 on Apr 27, 2010 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions
Ely’s projected to be a 5th starter, Heager is a 5th starter currently.
It’d be one thing if McDonald or Elbert was being discussed. But this is Ely here. A guy who probably can’t throw above 90 with his fastball, he’s a right handed Stults in terms of stuff.
Really, I might like Ely when I actually see him pitch, but knocking Heager down because the Dodgers decided to pitch him on short rest is misguided.
I’m not knocking Haeger solely based on this start. His body of work this year outside of the Florida start has been really bad.
I would not classify his last previous start as really bad.
He made one bad pitch to Dunn.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I have to agree
I have no expectations from Ely. Comparing his stuff with a knuckleballers fastball makes little sense to me.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
But it certainly helps his argument
until you start to analyze it. Its sorta like saying, “Hey, he’s got a better fastball then Schmidt … as a Dodger.”
Well we have to protect the endangered species
That is the knuckleballer. He’s probably EPA protected

Joe Torre, however,
sure seemed to do that to Eric Stults. :)
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
he did all that without giving up a Homer..
and then the next pitcher comes in and gives up 4 walks in les then an inning!
Manny being out
is correlation not causation

Eric, you might just get your steak card after all. If Ely fails to hit 90 mph tomorrow, it’s yours.
the bet is...
ely hitting 90 once tomoorow?

We finally get to see what it's like for the Dodgers to misfire on all cylinders
We’ve seen bad hitting, bad pitching and bad defense, but rarely all in one game. This is what it’s like, and this stinks.
So this is what its felt like
to be a Mets fan the past couple years?

Furcal isnt playing tomorrow either according to Gurnick..
IF Raffy was DL’ed, would the Dodgers really play Jamey Carroll everyday at SS?
Or bring back Hu? Angel Berroa?

My parents flew 3,000 miles to the game today
Started out in Ely
hopped a empty boxcar to Lodi
found a old rusty shotgun when they hopped off the track
put it on their back
started thumbing on to the airport in the city by the bay
all the while dream’in of LA … in New York
the young feller in the ‘58 pick up let them ride in the back
all the way
to the airport by the bay
that darned yeller dog got too fiesty at the stop sign
trusty rusty shotgun made short work of that puppy
I took off from work just to go to this game

THe Dodgers were a .500 team in 2007 and until getting Manny in 2008...
I dont think much has changed if you take him off the team.
The Dodger announcers, both on radio and TV, are tap dancing around the issue of tomorrow’s starting pitcher like they have no idea who it will be.
Link is in the damn clubhouse with the team!!!!
Why can’t they just say that? They can add “it’s not official yet” or some shit like that, but they are not doing anything to inform the fans at all.

Teams that are losing by five or six runs tend to look like that
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I agree
however, we’ve seen this for the whole season. I just wouldn’t want to be chasing the Rockies or Giants towards the end of the season. More pressure on us.
Didn't look that way when the offense was averaging six-to-seven runs a game.

I will forgive
a team for failing to show heart down by five, runner on second, in the second half of a DH in which they lost the first one 4-0 and were in the middle of a 21 inning scoreless streak.
