One Catcher Drives In Another: Dodgers Walk-Off Again

A.J. Ellis ended a long game with an 11th-inning single to drive in the other Dodger catcher, Russell Martin, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 win over the Braves, a series split, and their fourth walk-off hit of the week. Here are the highlights, in notes form:
- After starting his career with seven consecutive starts pitching six innings or more, John Ely was human today, allowing four runs in five innings. The only two Los Angeles Dodgers to begin their careers with more consecutive starts of six innings or more were Fernando Valenzuela (10 starts, in 1981) and Don Sutton (eight, in 1966).
- Ely went the first 50 innings of his career without allowing a home run, before allowing two bombs in the fifth inning. Martin Prado hit a ball into Mannywood, but the showstopper was hit by Brian McCann into the Loge section in right field.
- Ely came into the game having had a three-ball count on just 19.1% of his batters faced, but had three-ball counts on nine of 25 batters today.
- Ely hit a dribbler about 20 feet in front of home plate in the third inning, and beat McCann's throw to first base for the first hit of his young career. It was the first hit for Ely since college, as he was hitless in three at-bats in his minor league career.
- As noted by Jimmy Bramlett of LAist, Dodger starting pitchers got a hit in each of the last three games. This was the first time Dodger starting pitchers got a hit in three straight games since Chad Billingsley, Derek Lowe, and Greg Maddux turned the trick from August 30 through September 1, 2008.
- Blake DeWitt began his career with hits in each of the first six at-bats of his career with the bases loaded in 2008. Since then, he was hitless in five at-bats with ducks on the pond but also had three walks and a sacrifice fly. Today, he got his first bases loaded hit since May 19, 2008, a fourth inning single to tie the game at one.
- Hong-Chih Kuo pitched a scoreless seventh inning today, retiring left-handers Jason Heyward and Brian McCann in the process. Left-handed batters are hitless in 20 at-bats against Kuo this season, with nine strikeouts, a walk, and a sacrifice fly. The last lefty to get a hit off Kuo was Tony Gwynn, Jr. last September 29.
- George Sherrill threw 13 pitches, nine for strikes, in his inning of work today in Albuquerque, allowing a double but striking out two. That was the fourth and final game of Sherrill's rehabilitation assignment, and he is expected to be activated off the disabled list on Tuesday, the first day he is eligible to return.
- Casey Blake showed progress today in fielding drills, delaying a potential trip to the disabled list, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. However, as Gurnick noted, "Though there was a more hopeful tone surrounding Blake's status, Torre still has not ruled out a possible trip to the DL."
- There are no plans to start Charlie Haeger before Vicente Padilla returns, reported Tony Jackson of ESPN LA
- Garret Anderson laid down a sacrifice bunt in the eighth inning, his first sacrifice bunt since May 17, 2000, a span of 5,900 plate appearances
- Yunel Escobar was held to a hit and a walk today, by far his quietest game of the series. In four games in Los Angeles, Escobar had eight hits in 15 at-bats, with two doubles and two walks.
- Jonathan Broxton pitched a scoreless ninth, allowing a leadoff double but stranding the runner with three strikeouts. On the season, Broxton has two unintentional walks and 40 strikeouts.
- Ronald Belisario pitched two scoreless innings to pick up his first win of the season, making him the 13th Dodger pitcher with a victory this season
- Xavier Paul hit two home runs for Albuquerque today.
St. Louis comes to town starting tomorrow night, with Carlos Monasterios and either P.J. Walters or Blake Hawksworth facing off in the first game.
WP - Ronald Belisario (1-0): 2 IP, 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
LP - Jesse Chavez (0-1): 1/3 IP, 1 hit, 1 run, 1 walk

Im a soccer fan
I love the chance to play England, but they are better at every position, except keeper, than we are. If our back 4 play as good as they can play, we have a chance. We will score at least 1 goal. I am pumped, too.
Spain should lift the trophy
As long as Iniesta is healthy… If not, well…

I would put money on
Brazil. They should win it. Spain is good, no doubt. Torres is a beast when healthy. Italy is older now, but that is what is said about Italy every year.

If anyone else has the Lakers championship DVD set, or has it recorded on DVR, go watch 1987 NBA Finals Game 4. At the end of the game, as both teams are heading into the locker room, you can see a stunned Bill Simmons (in a blue shirt) in his seats just above and to the right (on camera) of the tunnel.
He had talked about his dad’s seats several times, but I finally noticed it. Pretty funny.
Woo!!
I’m going to the game tomorrow! Sweet.

Ditto to both of the
“only down by 6” comments. Never give Allen an inch on the 3-point line and we should be good.
Phil should
have Adam Morrison hit Ray Allen in the face during warm ups for the 2nd half.
Great storyline and possibly effective.
Back to baseball for a second. Do we know WHY Torre went out of his way to mention Haeger won’t be starting anytime soon? My instinct is because he could be the fall guy for Sherrill.
I don't think he went out of his way
I’m sure the subject was broached by reporters during the pregame since Haeger pitching last night eliminated him from starting Monday
Tony Jackson asked “What’s Charlie Haeger’s status? Do you still want to see him starting?”
Torre: “I just want to see him get some action. I don’t know if starting is necessary now that we really can’t find a spot for him, with Monasterios pitching tomorrow and the off day coming up on Thursday, I don’t think that’s gonna happen.”
Um
if you have to tell a kid not to shoot you cos it is your first day, you might be doing it wrong.

I Thought from My vantage Point on the Right Side of Dodger Stadium I saw that two run home run lodge shot
go on the foul side of the foul pole. Looked at the replay on MLB site and you can not even see the ball.
Does anyone have any replay where you can actually see the ball?
I would be interested to see the replay to see for sure which way it went.

Yes sir!
Great job. Completely different looking team to start the 2nd half.
Is there some Lakers chant everybody yells? Just before half time, half the crowd seemed to be yelling it. To my ignorant ears, I’m afraid it sounded like “Seig Heil! Seig Heil! Seig Heil!” For obvious reasons, I’d like to know what it really was, so I can get it out of my head. Thanks. Any ideas?
Hah! When they’re happy with their own team’s defense, or when they’re trying to get them to sharpen up?
Got it. Thanks. I’ve never been to basketball. I grew up in Canada (more than 30+ years ago), where it’s all hockey. Then lived the second half of my life in England. No basketball. (Football – soccer – chants are something else.) Third half devoted to baseball, no basketball. Just plain ignorant.

to have Shannon Brown be the Laker that visits with you when the whole Lakers team comes to your school.
anyone here know if the UCI UCLA game is on anywhere?
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Ray Allen is going to set a record tonight.
Most 3-pointers made in the 1st half with NONE made in the 2nd half. :)
Forgot to mention this
but Chris Webber did a Q & A with several local blogs on NBA.com, and I got a question in.
http://youcastcorp.com/c/102/go/index.php?r=118
My question
With Andrew Bynum healthier than he was during the 2008 Finals, and with Ron Artest to guard Paul Pierce, are the Lakers better equipped to deal with the Celtics this time around?
CW: I think you need to check your information, because I don’t know if Bynum is healthier! Bynum’s going to play, but that doesn’t mean he’s healthier. He averaged 15 points during the regular season this year, and has only averaged 9 during the playoffs. With that being said, I don’t know if Bynum is healthier. For me to pick the winner of this series, that depends on Bynum. If Bynum is as healthy as he can be, then I think the Lakers can do it but I don’t think that Bynum is as healthy as he could be.
Paul Pierce and Ron Artest have a long history together, but it’s pretty consistent. You’re not going to stop a great scorer. I don’t think just those two factors matter — I think that so many more factors matter that we’ll see what happened. If Ron Artest is playing great defense and scoring, that’s great. But if we see him in a slump, that’s going to effect the Laker’s scoring because Doc Rivers is so great at picking the weak link and making them shoot.
Emphasis mine. I think Webber should check his info! Bynum played 0 minutes in the 2008 Finals, so I would say he is definitely healthier!
By the way, time out.
DEAR LAKERS
REBOUND THE BALL.

Yay for the Dodgers walk off win
Finally saw the last few innings late, and then rewatched the ending again just now to wash away the bitter taste of the Lakers game from my mouth. That game made me angry. Watching AJ Ellis come through gave me joy. Will try to hold on to the joyous feeling and forget the bitterness.
PS: Eff you, refs.

Hopefully the roster is re-evaluated at the end of the series (win or lose). Some of these players have to go.
Sasha's gone
but I wouldn’t worry about the roster right now or who needs to go based on one game. Some good players have not shown up for their given team here and there in these playoffs (like Amare Stoudamire) who people wanted to bury and then they come back. Players have bad games. in better news Gasol and especially Bynum were terrific most of this game. I blame poor defense on Allen (and him shooting lights out even when defense was good), some lapses at times, being outhustled late, and the truly atrocious refereeing.

Hm it was Sasha I thought was a FA after this year
Well… nothing’s set in stone. Not that he is to blame for this particular loss.
The thing Artest brings that they didn’t have 2 years ago is adding more physicality on defense t hat they didn’t have then. He’s a terrific defender. But his offense is mostly crap nowadays so is it worth it? particularly when he also then has a lesser defensive game..

It was Allen's night in the 1st half..and Rondo's 4th quarter...
I’m confident the Lakers can win 1 in Boston.
Woot! Free baseball!
They can play all night!
they did and they should have changed the call the refs did a hell of a job. They should be fucken fired
by Dodgermanramon on Jun 6, 2010 8:50 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
They reviewed it, they paused the game to look at tape
and you can even see Gasol nodding in agreement when the ref told him they ageed to review the play. That they did this and coudn’t see what a 5 year old could have was absolutely maddening.

If there was one thing I'd like to do once in my life....
It’d be to travel along on a road trip with a pro sports team, or travel along with a band on a concert tour.
Just the life of playing the game (or concert), then getting packed up…getting on the bus…going to the airport…getting to the hotel…getting up for the game (or concert) would be quite an experience.
I guess beat writers used to have it somewhat like that when they travelled on team planes. Now, not so much.
I have to say the loudest booing was when Kobe got his 3rd foul in the first half
Hard to complain about the refs given the free throw disparity though at least one of Kobe’s fouls could have gone the other way.
I think the Garnett/Gasol issue will go away for awhile.
If Kobe has 3 good games in him and Bynum/Gasol continue to play this well, I see a series win in 6 or 7.
3 Phantom fouls ...
called on arguably the best plyer in the world, on his home court, carrying the effect of keeping him off the floor for half the game?
I call advertising tv money foul.
I have seen this in the past
I turned the game off with about 3 min. remaining.
When the announcers are commenting that there was no foul and a bad call,
Well, I’m done with the NBA
