MLB.tv had messed up
Had Vin Scully and Dodgers audio over the video feed from the Angels game. I thought keep dreaming Angels, you’ll never have Scully.
That curve
Good lord.

It hit him on the wrist
and bounced up. By the time he had it solidly, he couldn’t make the throw.

Wheres that famed control?

I think it's maybe just a tad early
to be harping on that, don’t you think?

DeWitt just needs to step his beard game up.
He can ask Reed and Casey for pointers.

It was a church trip with The Heffer Project; for the life of me I can’t remember where exactly. Had a ton of fun that week though.
Highlights of my childhood
Doing the public pool thing or doing flips off of wood bridges into a creek!
Awesome
The key to my experience was the one and a half flips. I meant to do one; kept going, ended up with the equivalent of a belly/face flop, much to the shock of the couple hundred people there. :)

I don’t have the patience to read the game thread from last night but was the consensus that torre should have hit for Chad?
Furcal was giving him the business
trying to knock him off the bag.

National Anthem
w/o digging through here, I didn’t see it on mlb.tv, how awesome was it?
I have never sat in those baseline box seats; they seem ridiculously expensive, but I do enjoy having a shelf on which to put my stuff.
You could me
Or, I would even agree to pay. But I don’t live there and get to see a bunch of games each year.
I go to a lot of games so i can take things for granted but there is nothing worse than sitting at DS in the sun
the only time I've been there
I sat about 15 rows back on the LF line. About 30 feet past the dirt. Saturday afternoon game. Left crispy!
I would say
the man was certainly due to lose the battle of BABIP but he still needs to attack the zone.
He's having a meh outing
This isn’t that bad, by any means.

NICE
Let’s go Ely!

How easy would it be for the 5th ump in the pressbox to look over that play and report down to the field that DeWitt was safe? Would have taken 10 seconds.
Considering the official scorer routinely looks at replays to make a decision. It would take no more than 30 seconds.
But what do they do
Wait for the booth to signal them each call is correct? I think in theory it is a good idea but in practice, I don’t think it would work.
On appeal only
Manager would have to appeal.
by berkowit28 on Jun 6, 2010 2:06 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Put an earpiece in the crew chiefs ear. After the play it would be reviewed and reported back to the crew chief. Obviously some things would have to be ironed out, but its not a difficult system.
I hate that
when I see it. At first base they have to get it right but at second they don’t have to step on the bag.
by berkowit28 on Jun 6, 2010 2:10 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Or the player who feels he was wronged.

I agree
It’s one of the most ridiculous arguments ever. “Part of what people enjoy about baseball is umpire mistakes!”
Not only 1st MLB hit
but John Ely’s first hit since high school!
He was 0 for 3 in the minors at the plate.
need more grit
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Nate
If you see this, give me your top 3 in order of preference. Mine:
1. Justin O’Conner
2. AJ Cole
3. Stetson Allie
Judging from his recent hype, there’s no way O’Conner will be there at 28. I actually really like him as a SP. Callis tweeted that his arm is incredible. Cole is a likely tough sign but we can’t pass on his talent/projection. Allie has command and possible conditioning issues but you can’t ignore the plus-plus velocity w/power slider.
Chances are we’ll get someone completely off-the-radar.
he got some of the grit he was missing earlier from the dugout.

of it, he should be fine
THAT PITCH
WOW. It’s curves like that pitch that impress me the most.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Bound to happen
It just sucks that we face a guy that has been as good as Hudson has been. He has been on fire this year. And we get him on a Sunday, which means Joe will play every body but the best 9. I know guys need a rest….. It is just frustrating that Manny needs 3 days off per week. I know that isn’t true Eric. Don’t shoot me! :)
I agree about Manny
I don’t think he needs to take every single day game after a night game off, as has been the case so far (except for the one time he played the day after he was activated from the DL)
Xavier Paul
apparently not serious enough about wanting to get called up, grounded out in his 3rd AB today.
Hah
Why didn’t the 2nd baseman go back and touch th bag instead of trying to throw to first? (previous play)

That was the first hit
for DeWitt with the bases loaded since starting his career 6 for 6 with the bases juiced. Since then, DeWitt was 0 for 5 with 3 walks, and a sac fly
Snapped a 19 inning streak of not scoring in an inning Ely pitches
Too bad it had to be on an error but I guess we’ll take it
Short fucking memory huh?
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
The last time three straight Dodger starting pitchers got a base hit was August 30 to September 1, 2008: by Billingsley, Lowe, and Maddux
John Ely before today: 3-balls counts to 19.1% of batters faced
Today: 9 of 25 (36%) Braves had 3-ball counts
I'm really ok with one mediocre apperance
He’s done so well in his other starts…and we’ve allowed Kershaw, Billz, and Kuroda crappy outings while still insisting they’re going to be fine.

At the end of the day
he was taksed with pitching to a potent lineup, with a lot of pop. and pitching in DS during the day with the wind blowing out is completely different than a night game. Did okay in my book.
How many people do you think he's going to hit?
I’m going with 3.

He can start with prado

With the game now on the line, i’s Miller, not Troncoso. I wonder…

Nice inning from Justin
I trust him more than Troncoso

Tim Hudson has gotten insanely lucky this year...
His Ks/bb is only 34-29. in 75 innings.
I dont know how he has an ERA under 3 when striking out that few of guys.
Plus, he's given up 7 HRs...so its not like he's suppressing that...he's gotta be one of the most lucky pitchers in baseball...
Maybe his luck will catch up to him today
DeWitt returns the favor

LHB 0 for 18 with 9 K this season off Kuo (with a walk and a sac fly)
Last single by a LHB off Kuo was Tony Gwynn Jr. last September 29
This is what happens when I wake up at 2:30 in the afternoon
I miss John Ely being human…

Dbags had the bases loaded against Jimenez
in the 1st inning.
1st time this year that he has pitched with the bases loaded. That doesn’t suck.
Wow

With the game still on the line, now it’s Weaver, not Belisario. Someone has noticed that Troncoso and Beli aren’t doing too well and need rest , at the least.

The Dodgers need to draft a hitter in the first round
I’m really tired of the lack of hitting for the most part from this team. Shit.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
A hitter we drafted in the first round? I don’t quite know what you are asking. Most likely a pitcher will be drafted in the first round again, and I think it’s about time some focus in the early rounds is spent on a power hitting position player.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
The #1 player in the draft
is Bryce Harper. He is a “can’t miss” prospect and even he is not expected to help the Nationals for 4 – 5 years. Position players drafted this year will not help the team for a long time even if they do pan out.
How much power? That’s what this team has always lacked, and besides the outfield, this team’s got almost none. I’m not asking for a team full of Adam Dunns, but wouldn’t it be nice to have more than a couple guys who can knock the ball out of the yard?
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
I would definitely take a team full of Adam Dunns
Because I don’t a damn if someone strikes out a lot if they can still produce like crazy on offense. His defense worries me much more than his strike outs.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
Lol, i just told you his defense worries me more than his strike outs
Defense does matter, but defense is not AS important as offense is, IMO. The reason Loney has been able to stick around without any real power is because he’s a hell of a fielder. If he couldn’t field he would have been gone over a year ago.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
ive been wondering. when manny leaves. i think were gonna need a power hitter to fill in somewhere. whether its fielder or gonzalez at 1st or a left fielder.
I get that
but guys that hit the ball out of the park cost money. We are playing a catcher that has no business being here and wouldn’t be if Ausmus wasn’t 67 yrs old. Blake is hurt and Manny is off. I don’t get what we could’ve done different today.
With how the Dodgers have drafted there is nothing differently they could have done. That’s hard to say because we wouldn’t have Bills and Kershaw if we had gone for hitters instead, but it would just be nice to see a hitter drafted in the first round this year, one with some power potential and who could hit for a good average, none of this Preston Mattingley shit.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
Per Tony Jackson:
Torre said he no longer plans to start knuckleballer Charlie Haeger before Vicente Padilla returns from the disabled list, which is expected to happen sometime in the next couple of weeks
Is Saito watching Broxton?
Just wondering.
by berkowit28 on Jun 6, 2010 3:56 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
BTW Monk did take batting practice with the other Dodger starters yesterday. That probably means nothing more than you would want it to mean.
It'd be better for the Dodgers to win it in the 9th...bc there's nobody good left in the pen now...
Broxton threw 23 pitches…he wont pitch the 10th
Furcal should have been more patient
Maybe get a walk to bring up Ethier.
by berkowit28 on Jun 6, 2010 4:11 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
If Belisaio can hold the line
It’s Ethier, Loney, Kemp, right?
by berkowit28 on Jun 6, 2010 4:12 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Or wasn’t GA in there somewhere? That’s not Johnson, he just hit. Pitcher spot – Martin now?

I like that Tim Lincecum is looking mortal for once
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
I wonder if glaus is back on the juice these days
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
That was right
Off the plate and low. Worst that could happen would be walk him to face McClouth, poor batter. Best- K.
by berkowit28 on Jun 6, 2010 4:24 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
The 2011 NBA All Star Logo for L.A
has just been revealed on NBA TV.
This inning is the most opportune time to use Billy Wagner...since Ethier/Loney are both due up..
If Cox doesnt use his best pitcher here, he deserves to lose
Is he running straight to the clubhouse?
He should.
Wow
That was kinda like his job off the field when he got caught stealing earlier in the week.
"You're the only woman to ever love me." "I never loved you." "I meant physically!"
I do like that the Cardinals have the ESPN game tonight. Long flight tonight into L.A after the game.
At this rate, I hope Josh Wilker (Cardboard Gods) doesn’t get bumped from the postgame show on KABC (6:05pm)
Heyward must HATE DS.
So many strikeouts.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Oh, I get it.
They want to limit the amount of traffic in the downtown area…so they’re stretching out the game so that the people getting to the Laker game won’t be impeded by the people leaving the Dodger game.
Smart.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Dodgers can't score this inning
They have to wait for ATL to score their 5th run and then LA wins it 6-5
A.J Ellis with another chance to be a hero. And I will never forget if he ends this so I can watch the Lakers in peace.
Depending on Ellis again
But just one out. Maybe he can move Martin to 3rd.
