Rockies 11, Dodgers 3: At Least The Lakers Won

PrintThere isn't much to say about this game. Aaron Cook was good. Hiroki Kuroda wasn't.
Kuroda in his career against Colorado has given up 26 runs (23 earned) in 27 1/3 innings in five starts, allowing 55 baserunners against only 13 strikeouts.
Scott Elbert made his 2010 Dodger debut, entering the game down 5-0 with a pair of runners on base in the fifth inning. If there was ever a situation to simply throw strikes, this was it, but Elbert walked three of the six batters he faced, doing nothing to dispel Phil's "Wild Ass Lefty" nickname for him.
Justin Miller made his Dodger debut, and retired all four batters he faced.
In other news, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com delivers the rehabilitation news from Rick Honeycutt. On Vicente Padilla:
"He didn't like his command, the sinker wasn't real good, but he threw breaking balls and splits," pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "He'll take two days off, throw a bullpen at home and we'll look at a rehab start at San Bernardino Thursday. He'll probably need three of those."
On George Sherrill:
Honeycutt indicated Sherrill will likely have a four-appearance Minor League rehab assignment -- twice with Class A Inland Empire, twice with Albuquerque
Andre Ethier had one hit, one sacrifice fly, was hit by a pitch, and scored three runs in his final rehabilitation game with Albuquerque. Ethier is expected to be activated for Monday's game at Dodger Stadium against Arizona.
Clayton Kershaw will face Jhoulys Chacin in the series finale tomorrow.
WP - Aaron Cook (2-3): 6 1/3 IP, 6 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), 2 walks, 1 strikeout
LP - Hiroki Kuroda (5-3): 4 IP, 10 hits, 7 runs (5 earned), 1 walk, 1 strikeout

Good job Roy Halladay
Used to be a fan, but he’s on the wrong team now.
Regardless, we all need to tip our heads.
At least i got
to watch the last couple of innings. MLB network went to the game over the Dodgers/Rockies.
Aren't the Dodgers like 10 and 4 without him?
Not that I disagree, I can’t wait to have him back, their offense has been erratic. But its not like they’ve been tanking without him for 2 weeks. Pitching was bad today, some flukey hits, too much Garrett Anderson ;-) wasn’t in the cards.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Did y'all see the end of the halftime show
when they were showing Phil in the huddle?
He was saying about Artest “Don’t give him the ball, don’t pass him the ball.”
that is great! Dude went off in the first half tonight.
I would guess Manny, but maybe they try to rest him after Ethier gets back instead.

Yeah, but with Ethier coming back one day later
I could see them just sitting him a different day. It’s highly likely he sits tomorrow though.

Didn't catch this last night
But from Gurnick:
After the game, Torre said he would give Manny Ramirez Sunday’s game off, but was undecided about Furcal and Casey Blake.

I have a question for you guys
How much college baseball do you see?
Do you care, at all, about it?
Why is it not popular?
I know it isn’t football. I know the game isn’t the same. Baseball fans are a special breed and Football and Basketball is better to watch as a casual fan. Thanks in advance for your answers. (if there are any)
IMO, it’s because it’s too far away from the pros.
In football and basketball, players in college are essentially one step away from the pros, and as a result we have a link with them, continuously for the most part as they advance.
In baseball, not only do the players have to succeed in college, but then there are the minor leagues to traverse. It’s too long of a trip to the pros, and the percentage of great players in college that play in the pros is almost by definition much, much smaller.

That makes sense
but it is still competitve baseball. I guess that people wouldnt watch Minor League ball on TV either. Unless a huge prospect was playing.
I wonder if the PING would go away if the MLB bought the tens of thousands of bats that would be needed.
$150k???
backup linebackers at USC get that much!

One more thing
the players at the college level in football (especially) and basketball are the very best in the country in their age group (at least with the one year rule in the NBA, but traditionally too), whereas so many of the best baseball players are drafted and are playing in the minors when they are 19-21 instead of for Vanderbilt or something.
by Eric Stephen on May 29, 2010 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions
good point
David Price……Vanderbilt.
No, seriously, I get it. I just think there should be more support for college baseball.
2006?
If so thats the year that EA lost the license to use MLB players so tried to use NCAA players. I’m still sad about that, MVP 2004 and 2005 where some of the best baseball games ever, and the 2k games are just horrible.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Morales out 10-12 weeks
At least he went out with a bang

It’s because they’re fans in Utah :)
I am a fan of Fisher the man, but no longer Fisher the player, but found this note interesting: the Lakers have made The Finals in seven of the last eight seasons he has been on the team.
by Eric Stephen on May 29, 2010 9:05 PM PDT up reply actions
I can see that
You cant blame the Jazz fans if you really think you lost a better PG. But, your guy is better than Fish at point. That is just hating to be hating
Because they take their team waaaaaaayyyyyyy too seriously. Booing a man for doing what is best for his daughter? Just doesnt make sense as a human.
by UCLADodger32 on May 29, 2010 9:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Not to mention
that they didn’t even care at the time it happened. Most people rightfully thought that Fisher didn’t have much left in the tank at that time.
Logan White #1 Picks
2002: Loney
2003: Billingsley
2004: Elbert
2005: None (Hochevar, supp 1st)
2006: Kershaw
2007: Withrow
2008: Martin
2009: None (A. Miller, supp 1st)
At 25 going on 26, it’s not looking so hot for Scotty right now. Doesn’t look like an attractive trade piece either at this moment.
Sasha is giving the Celtics an open invitation
to take about his family all series…at least the 37 total minutes he will play
In the postgame, Vujacic admitted that Dragic said bad things about Sasha’s family and made him mad. Sasha also said his shot on Dragic wasn’t intentional, but that was clear BS.

I don’t follow basketball, but I looked in tonight because the Dodgers were depressing. So I have no idea whatsoever what players are on the Celtics.
Do they have any Slovenians, or any others from ex-Yugoslavia who speak Serbo-Croatian? I frankly don’t think that comments about his family in English will have much effect. Probably not from other south Slavs either – it’s probably got to be from a fellow-Slovenian to work the poison.
Sister’s engagement party was today so I missed the game. Would have loved to see a victory, but at least I didnt miss anything exciting. Not good to see Elbert go crazy and walk 3 guys. I really dont know how much of a future he has with the Dodgers.
He looks fat and tired
every outing. Seems like someone would bring up that at some point during conversations with him
Would love to get this right hander from a Florida HS named A.J. Cole. He’s tall and lean with a big fastball already and room for a lot more in the future.
what are the odds he is there when we pick?
Also, who are the position players that will be there when we pick, meaning guys that we MAY draft?
Hmm, not really sure if he’ll be there but that’s who Jim Callis projected us to take. It certainly fits Logan White’s M.O. From a pure talent level, it sounds like this kid should be off the board a lot sooner than #28.
I’ll get back to you on the position players. Late next week hopefully. I did hear something about Gary Brown, a toolsy CF type from Cal State Fullerton. He reminds me of Eric Byrnes — definitely a Ned type. And, yeah, I know he doesn’t call the shots during the draft. ;)
If Cole is still there when Dodgers pick I'd be stoked
and bet they wouldn’t hesitate. But would also be stunned.

When a pitcher does really poorly
how much of it can be put on the catcher? Not in terms of wild pitches or anything like that — in terms of pitch selection?
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
impossible to measure
let me guess 5%
i dunno, you’d have to ask the pitcher, right? but generally the pitcher is the one with the ball
maybe he can feel a bit uncomfortable with the catcher or whatever or pitch selection might be slightly off, but if the pitcher executes, it’s hard to hit anyway
unless like the angst is to the point where you become enraged and go on tilt because you hate the catcher so much, then i could see it

the pitcher is the one with the ball?!
you don’t say. ;)
I was just curious because a lot is made of the catcher’s ability to call the game, to be the most cerebral player on the field, etc etc. Obviously and ideally, you’d want the catcher and the pitcher to work together. Like, if the pitcher gets thrown off because of a few miscues on behalf of the catcher. ./shrug

Haeger pitched 3 innings on Saturday for IE
Not very good.
Aaron Miller finished up with 6 IP and only 1 run allowed.
well I guess he could be so piss poor in rehab
They don’t ever bother to call him up.

Holy crap
Didn’t follow baseball at all yesterday. Tune in this morning to see a perfect game, a walk-off broken leg, a liner to the head, and a Posey debut. What a crazy day.
For no reason
Here’s a little Alexander Pope for y’all:
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d;
