Dodgers Give Ramon Troncoso Day Off

PrintFor the sixth game out of 20 since he rejoined the team after the birth of his daughter, Ramon Troncoso was given a day off today. Troncoso is tied for the major league lead with 14 games pitched this year, joining Fernando Nieve of the Mets, who tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings in today's game. Troncoso joins Ron Perranoski in 1967 as the only Los Angeles Dodger pitchers to pitch in 14 of the club's first 21 games, one more than the seasonal-record-setting Mike Marshall had in 1974. Yesterday, Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times asked Troncoso what he thought of pitching so much:
Yesterday, I told Troncoso he was on pace to pitch in over 100 games. "I hope so," he said. #DrNealElAttrache
Oh yeah, in the game the Dodgers lost to the Mets 7-3, finishing their road trip at 2-7.

oh well
at least we’ve been playing like shit just before finals week, because Lord knows Ive been swamped. Fortunately, I havent been able to watch a lot of this garbage..
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Mets handed us our ass
I think the next series preview should portray our opponents in a better light. I think the karma got us. I am pinning this series loss on Phil. :)
can i get a link
to this series’ preview?

I vote for troncosco to start a game and if that doesn’t work my mom available to start a game or two.
It’s funny how Ned says the team hasn’t changed much from last year. Besides lossing are best pitcher, gold glove 2nd baseman. Maybe Ned should go on the price is right game show. Ned sucks and well the dodgers too

Wolf was not the Dodgers best pitcher last year
by Michael White on Apr 28, 2010 1:23 PM PDT up reply actions
Disagree
Wolf gave us 200+ innings of 3.23 ERA pitching and 1.10 WHIP. When we struggled offensively, he would flat-out shutdown opponents
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 28, 2010 1:32 PM PDT up reply actions
Pitching more innings is the only thing I can see that Wolf did better than Kershaw
Every other stat I found shows Kershaw > Wolf. Better ERA, better FIP, better x-FIP, better WAR.

The Colletti/Kemp "controversy" has given rise to
a new twitter hash tag: #BlameKemp. These are in the first eight tweets:
oliviaaarrgh Should we start a #blamekemp tag? RT @ChadMoriyama Kemp not hustling enough on that double, should have had inside the park homer.
robneyer RT @ChadMoriyama: Kemp should have thrown Wright out at first on that single to center. #BlameKemp
ElLayDave Matt Kemp should be counseling pitchers on the mound instead of Rick Honeycutt, then they wouldn’t allow extra-base hits #BlameKempThis one comes a bit later:
DodgersGM I do not find the #BlameKemp tag amusing. After the game, I will have a word with Matt Kemp about this behavior. #Dodgers #MetsAnd so forth.

--Ned Colletti
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man
In a battle of
weird contracts…the guy who got the great deal despite not having any leverage (Howard) beat the guy who settled for less despite having the biggest hammer in the history of arbitration (Lincecum)…opposite field HR, 1-0 Phillies
ends up 4-1
at the end of 6. Lincecum should be good for 8 innings. Giants are tough. They are man on manhandling the Phillies.

soooooo many piss poor bullpens, blown leads, you name it.

I’m very happy Kemp’s a cool dude and chooses to respond to this stuff without throwing barbs or insulting someone

It must help when his after-work conversation goes like this:
Matt: (grumble)
Rihanna: Oh, baby, what’s wrong?

Good article by Rob Neyer
Kemp has had hits in (I believe) 4 of the last 6 games (though no power), so he hasn’t exactly stopped hitting, he’s just stopped hitting bombs for now. His fielding has looked bad, but he’s bound to improve to at least average. The same goes for base running. Kemp has put up MVP type offensive numbers thus far, and though he was just responding to a question about Kemp, there’s no need to dump on him while he’s been the best overall hitter on the team (though you could say Manny is, his OPS is certainly much higher).
Colletti hasn’t proven to be the best gm with many situations.
Neyer says, “I don’t mean to suggest that the Dodgers are a lousy organization, or that Ned Colletti is a lousy general manager.”
So I guess it’s still Kavula, party of one.

hey- at least you WENT to the game
I paid the stupid $60+, and decided not to even go! Actually, now that I think of it, the fact that you did end up going probably means you had it worse. Watching it on TV from the Mets perspective was kind of interesting, though. The announcers (Ron Darling & Gary Kohn, I think) were not impressed with Ely at first, but did have some nice things to say the last few innings. Most of the Dodger stuff they had to say, of course, was about Kemp/Colletti. I was too mad at that point to really pay attention to the specifics of what they were saying.

featured a starter accused of steroids pitching against a starter not accused of steroids. But the only middle reliever that pitched for us has served a suspension and the closer was surely juicing.

Dodger record by TV Announcer(s)
Vin Scully (4-1)
Eric Collins / Steve Lyons (4-11)
Chris Rose / Eric Karros (0-1)
Thank God for a 10-game homestand coming up
Skewed, of course, by the fact that Collins/Lyons only work the long-distance (which makes them a bit tougher) road trips and no home games.
6 homes games, 15 road games – all in the Eastern time zone – so far this season. As a commenter pointed out in the game thread earlier, the Dodgers start a long stretch (23 games) where they don’t travel beyond Arizona:
10-game homestand, 6-game road trip to Phoenix and San Diego, 7-game homestand gets them through May 23.

Hard to tell

This really feels like Bizzarro World
Up is down, left is right. The Giants actually have out hit the Phils and could possibly sweep them. The Dodgers are in the cellar. Whats going on?

Nevermind about that "watch the ABQ rotation" thing I said earlier
per Gurnick:
Dodgers manager Joe Torre said he had not decided who would start Saturday’s game against the Pirates, with Charlie Haeger’s role riding in the balance.
Torre did say it would be a pitcher currently with the Major League club and not a Minor League callup.
“A big part is, what do we use between now and then?” Torre said. “We could use Haeger out of the bullpen.”
If Haeger (0-3, 7.45) doesn’t start Saturday, he would likely be skipped because of Monday’s day off.
In a related note, TJ said Ely did not fly back with the team to L.A.
What in the world is up with that?
Well, if he got optioned back to AAA
he’d probably get on a plane to where he needs to be.

Very odd
especially since Weaver is not expected to be used as a starter when he comes back.
Technically, the spot in the rotation isn’t needed until May 8, so maybe it’s a race for the ABQ boys to figure out who will be starting on that day.

From Gurnick:
The media was held out of the clubhouse postgame for 15 minutes, while Colletti had a “respectful five-minute conversation” with Kemp, the target of some of Colletti’s harshest words during a Tuesday interview on KABC Radio. Colletti also met with Torre after the game.
