Kemp & A White-Hot Furcal Sweep Away Giants

After a pair of 4-2 victories to start the series, the Dodgers swept away the Giants with a laugher, 8-2.  The offense was led by white hot Rafael Furcal, a welcome back performance by Matt Kemp, and a deuces wild game by Jamey Carroll.

Furcal had four hits, including his third home run of the season, a two-run shot in the fifth inning.  Over his last 10 games, Furcal has 22 hits in 45 at-bats, with four doubles, a triple, and a home run, with 14 runs scored.  On the season, Furcal is hitting a robust .333/.382/.488.

Kemp returned to the lineup today, and collected three hits of his own, including his team-leading 13th home run.  Carroll had two doubles in two at-bats to go along with two walks, but he screwed up the pattern by collecting three, not two, walks.

Vicente Padilla continued the string of strong Dodger starts, by pitching seven innings, allowing only a single run on a home run by Aaron Rowand.  Dodger starters have six quality starts in their last eight games, and have a collective 3.00 ERA while averaging 6.38 innings per start.

The Dodgers got through a series without using Jonathan Broxton, only using Hong-Chih Kuo once (although for some reason Kuo was warming up with a six-run lead with two outs in the ninth inning), and they still won all three games. The Dodgers take tomorrow off before the well-rested bullpen starts a three-game series in Arizona on Friday.

WP - Vicente Padilla (2-2):  7 IP, 3 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts

LP - Jonathan Sanchez (6-2):  5 IP, 6 hits, 5 runs (4 earned), 2 walks, 4 strikeouts

BUT WE STILL NEEDZ AN ACEEEEEE!!!

If we do make the playoffs, I think our playoff rotation is very good with Kershaw/Billingsley/Kuroda or however the ordering will go. Underrated, as always.

I mentioned

Kuo because on our last 3 National TV broadcasts, the announce team has mentioned it. So it is obvious that everyone knows. But some teams will be sending closers as reps. Dotel and Marmol come to mind as the guys that may be their teams lone representative. They can’t take too many relievers.

by keithc13 on Jun 30, 2010 7:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

Kuo just faces a roster squeeze. There are too many good closers.

I don’t even think Dotel will make it (4.85 ERA), but McCutchen will be their lone rep. Maybe even Evan Meek sneaks in as a 1.02 ERA reliever, which would also hurt Kuo

by Eric Stephen on Jun 30, 2010 7:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think a lot depends on what positions have to get filled

by a representative of an NL team.

St. Louis – Pujols, Molina
Phil – Utley*, Polanco
Fla – Ramirez
Milw – Braun
Atl – Heyward*
LA – Ethier

So now who fills in the gaps -
Ariz – tough, no one is having a good year, Reynolds with 18 HR (but only .212, Haren has high ERA)
Col – Jiminez, Tulo would have been one but he is out, CarGo perhaps
SF – Lincecum and Wilson
SD – Gonzalez, Bell, maybe Latos
StL – along with Pujols and Molina, Wainwright and Carpenter
Cin – Joey Votto
Milw – Gallardo
Chi – I hate saying it but Carlos Silva
Hou – Matt Lindstrom
Pitt – Andrew McCutcheon
Atl – Prado, Hudson
NYM – Wright, Pelfrey
Phil – Halladay, Werth
Fla – Josh Johnson
Wash – if not Strasburg, Zimmerman and Capps

Reserve breakdown
1B – 2
2B – 2
SS – 0
3B – 3
OF – 3
C – 0
SP – 10
RP – 3

Obviously need some more middle infielders and one or two more catchers, probably mix up the pitchers some more.

SS – 0 looks good for Furcal.

They’re going to need a catcher or two.

Since all the SP but one will actually be used as early relief pitchers, I can’t see them needing more RP. They’ll use one closer as a closer, and probably another closer as hold in 8th inning, so they won’t need any more RP unless they’d be using more than one closer type in the 9th, which I doubt.

It’s kind of like torturing yourself over the one who got away. You listen to the same Sarah McLachlan song in the candlelight while you softly weep…

…and cut yourself.

Age caught up with her quick. Canadians do not believe in botox?

Someone mentioned this during the game today

that the home plate ump calling strike outs is hilarious. I just saw an example and it is goofy. Its like Howard Dean screaming. “Yeeaaarrrghhh”

It’s a hobby of mine to listen to umpire calls. I think that in 4 years of following Dodger baseball, virtually every night for 162 days a year plus about another 12 or so post-season, so, say 700 games in all, I’ve only heard about 10-20 umps (which could, of course, be the same ump 10-20 times, and probably is) pronounce his call in any way, shape or form that sounds like “Strike!” What’s the matter with them? Is there a competition for how far-fetched their vocal garbelings can be, and someone gets a prize at the end of the season?

I’m always reminded of that naked gun scene where leslie nielson poses as the home plate umpire.

New policy at my work

We are now allowed 3 hours per week (for July only) paid time off from work to do some type of excercising. There is no supervision if you are actually doing exercise. I think they expect people to go for walks after lunch, but what this really means is that people are going to be taking three long lunches per week or perhaps some extra surfing at the beach.

Another dumb policy is that if you ride your bike to and from work once a week, then you get to leave one hour early on Friday. The problem is, that most people live atleast 45 minutes away from work via bicycle and all of the roads coming into work are all very dangerous for bikes, because there are very narrow shoulders and lots of speeding cars doing 60+ MPH, not to mention that half of the workforce would probably suffer from exhaustion on the way in. So, not much of a motivation to bike to work. Risk your life plus you don’t save any time.

I never biked to work

because I didn’t want to be all sweaty at work all day.

I suppose you could bring a change of clothes

with you and lots of deoderant (and helmet hair). We actually have a place to shower, but that would just tack on another 20-30 minutes to the commute – if you made it.

I really want to work in a building

with a gym. I can drive towork, go to the gym, shower and work, or work, gym shower home. Alas, it is not to be

I am on the 4th floor of a building...

The bottom floor has a gym. Its amazing how many times I miss the gym because of meetings and crap. I really have no excuse.

Haren to Phillies rumors have started. Arizona is now scouting their prospects.

Sorry, wrong Jim. It’s Jim Duquette.

I hope so

Just not to the Phillies, though it would be comical.

Colin Cowherd just said Justin Morneau was going to be a Hall of Famer.

I just like saying his last name. MoreNO!

I like saying “PurDon’t” when talking about the Boilermakers.

by Eric Stephen on Jul 1, 2010 9:06 AM PDT up reply actions  

Is there a better team nickname

than Boilermakers? Whisky and beer!

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man

Did he use the time honored argument of picking out the shittiest guy in the Hall of Fame and saying, but “Morneau’s better than him!”

by Michael White on Jul 1, 2010 9:06 AM PDT up reply actions  

He was just talking about the Twins in general

and said “Justin Morneau will be a Hall of Famer, Joe Mauer will be a Hall of Famer, …”

just very matter of factly

by Eric Stephen on Jul 1, 2010 9:15 AM PDT up reply actions  

i know Morneau better than Morneau knows Morneau, and Morneau knows it.

Justin Verlander is a fucking prince. My god. He’s hysterical. All the commercials are over at 2ksports.com.

Cowherd says a lot of things

Does anyone ever check back with him to follow up on all his claims? I didn’t think so.
