Kuroda Looks To Continue Streak Of Great Dodger Starts

For the second straight night, the Dodgers start a pitcher who made his major league debut in Petco Park. Tonight, Hiroki Kuroda takes the hill, looking to keep up the tremendous run of Dodger starting pitching. Dodger starters have given up just one unearned run in their last 43 innings, including eight scoreless innings last Friday by Kuroda. He has given up one run over 14 innings in his last two starts.
Clayton Richard was the centerpiece of the Jake Peavy trade with the White Sox, and I don't think even the Padres expected things to work out as well as it has for them. Since the trade last July 31, here are their numbers:
- Richard: 32 starts, 190 innings, 3.9 BB/9, 7.1 K/9, 12-7, 3.74 ERA, 98 ERA+, 2.0 WAR
- Peavy: 20 starts, 127 innings, 2.8 BB/9, 7.9 K/9, 10-6, 4.11 ERA, 108 ERA+, 2.5 WAR
Considering that the Peavy has made roughly $13 million more than Richard since the trade, I'd say the Padres did alright by that deal.
In the 12 games since the All-Star break, the Dodgers leader in OPS is Blake DeWitt, who is hitting .310/.333/.448 during that time.

Yay, new thread
now I can say this. Oswalt apparently is the only one saying he won’t let the option year get in the way of a potential deal. Since it’s his option, i’d be inclined to believe him.
also, he’s apparently telling friends he can’t wait to get out of Houston for a chance to win.
I can’t post a link because it’s an insider thing to this news site.

Thanks for the new thread
My browser really bogs down when we start to hit the 500 mark in posts. I will be editing a new post, then someone will post a new message and the focus will leave the text box. It takes 20-30 seconds to regain the focus only to have another new message cause the same thing. Not sure if anyone else suffers from this. Also seems like there is a lot of advertising, widgets and scripts that get loaded on the site now and also slows things down.

Do you think there is any merit to keeping guys in one spot in the lineup? I hear the "he’s comfortable hitting [insert arbitrary spot here] and kind of think it should be the same hitter no matter where you play. I understand roles change a little based on spot in the order, but that rarely matters after the first inning, right?

My conversation with a Royals fan earlier about Pods
From @jaysonst:
Not a chance. Heard from other clubs that LA won’t talk about Gordon. @Youth_Movement Dee Gordon for Podsednik? #trades
From me:
@Youth_Movement No offense meant but the Dodgers #1 ranked prospect for 2 mos of Scott Posednik? Delusional much? ;-) @jaysonst
Youth_Movement:
@craigary One of the best lead-off hitters in the game who has proven to be healthy all year? Sure it’s a lot to ask, but not preposterous.
Me: …
Then later, me:
@Youth_Movement I like Pods and would be happy to have him on my team but he does not have that kind of value now esp not for 2 mos.
(Btw, I am not convinced about Gordon either, but given his ceiling and ranking he should certainly be held on to for now except for much more of a blue chip return.)

I did see a mention
in today’s Olney’s Insider column that early on Houston asked for Mr. “King of Swing” as part of the deal for Roy Oswalt.
And not to go down this road too much but I believe what Ned is talking about when he says he has more freedom deal prospects (or whatever he said in the other thread) is that from 2006-2008, teams asked for Kemp, Kershaw , Billingsley, Broxton, Loney, Martin and Ethier and he either was told by McCourt don’t deal them or he decided not to deal them. Did Ned deal some prospects, of course. But I think there was a time (especially in 2006-07) where they basically said this is our core and we are sticking with them.
Now, I don’t think they feel the same about the current group in the minors because they might feel they have this window of time to improve the MLB club.
Again, I am not saying he is right or wrong but I believe that is what he means when he said that.
I want 100% Oswalt or no deal!

Before the season started, I bet my friend that the either the Padres or that Nats would have a better record than the Angels.
The Angels aren’t as bad as I thought they’d be, but the Padres are a whole lot better than I expected. So far I’m looking pretty smart.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
I don’t know too many people that had the Angels predicted to do much better than where they are at now. They are basically a .500 team right now. I had them pegged for 82.2 wins on the season, but I also had the the entire AL West between 80 and 83 wins. The Rangers and Mariners blew that away. The Morales injury hurt (pun) really bad and they will be just as likely to finish under .500 as they will above .500. Glad things are going a little better for us.
vr, Xei
There are still plenty of hot, hot summer days left in Arlington for the Rangers record to fall closer to .500, plus the Mariners could finish out with one of those meaningless hot streaks in September that hopelessly behind teams put up occasionally. It’d be pretty funny if your prediction came close.

Especially when the options are like Far Below Expectations, Below Expectations, Met Expectations, Exceeded Expectations, Far Exceeded Expectations. How can you judge anything you do when customer expectations coming in are variable.

That the Giants are interested in Aardsma or that the Mariners asked for Sandoval in trade. Even with Lopez. Chortle.

Six hits for the Giants in the first inning.
All singles.
For as shitacular their offense was the past few years, they are most definitely better than us right now. I’d take Huff, Posey, and Torres over any Dodger hitter right now, which completely sucks to say.

I just can’t agree with that. I’d still take Kemp, Dre and Loney over those three. I know our offense is struggling right now, but we’re still the better team.

Have you seen their numbers? Right now, in the present, its a no doubter. Torres with a .873 OPS, Huff is at .950 and Posey (albeit SSS) is even better than Huff. Dre has been in a massive slump and Kemp and Loney, as much as a i like them, arent even .800 OPS guys.

Let us see how it looks on Oct 1st.
If Huff/Posey/Torres continue to hit like this the Giants will deserve the 2011 Pennant but it won’t happen again.
He's right
I wouldn’t make that trade going forward, but they’re outplaying our guys, period.
Yeah *right now* I'd take a lot of hitters over ours
Fair to say though that the Giants hitters are hitting over their head (even Posey, who is genuinely great but won’t always be this hot) while Dodgers hitters are slumping below their expectations. So sure, over the past week I’d take them or many other hitters. But overall, nah.

I played Boston…..but I played AZ in a please get incredibly lucky bet at +235. (there is a reason the line is that) :)
Yesterday was my best day of the season. Today I went really really light, so I didn’t wipe out my big tally from yesterday all in one day. :)
I lost the Brewers game.
Losing the Nationals game.
But winning the Giants game.
i don’t believe you. Is Orel standing behind him holding a tazer?
Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.
Heard that
Talking about how good their pitching has been and how they are 5 and 1 in last week even with offense non existent. All true

I'm enjoying it
but some copy editor should get fired for the amount of typos I’m reading
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Yeah I caught a few as well. Distracting a little from great piece.
They may not even have copy editors there any more.

omg rookie of the year! Anyone heard anything about Heyward since his platinum sombrero against the Dodgers?

I don't know why but I'm digging the African American non related professional
rebirth with Brown, Heyward, Kemp, Loney. For the last few years it seemed the only African American who played baseball was because they came from a baseball family.
Not trying to raise a stink or anything, but what percent of you needs to be a certain race, before you can state that you are african-american etc… If your dad is black and your mom is white, are you considered african-american or something else? I don’t know and am just curious. I know Tiger Woods is always talked about as being African-American, but his mom is Thai. Why wouldn’t he be considered Asian-American?
I believe that Tiger self-identifies as African-American. (If I’m wrong, I’ll stand corrected.)
The President of the US has a caucasian mom, but he also identifies himself as African American.
I think the thing to do here is defer to the individual’s wish. There’s no percentage in anything else.

Good news: Chien Ming Wang is now throwing off a mound.
And there were some who wanted him as a Dodger. :)
Can Eric repost those Charlie Haeger comments?

I'd have given him 30 starts and not dicked around with him but then I dont' get bored
with the new toys very easily.
now 4-1 SF in the 3rd, Marlins have 2 on
vs Sanchez who is near 50 pitches already

just doing his best to help the ballclub. Probably waiting until after the Giants series to start hitting. Of course, he hasn’t hit since April 10th so why start now.

From the Topes
Tonight’s musical theme at Isotopes Park is… “cars” Be listening for songs about cars and of course, songs from the band “The Cars.”
I’m guessing Gary Numan will be involved.

As the car rolled north towards Michigan, you complained
That all I like to listen to is Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army.
Well, maybe that’s true -
But what about you
And the Blue Cheer comprehensive retrospective box set?
That’s pretty annoying too.

The Giants are scoring lots of runs
but our 1 – 0 wins count the same in the standings, luckily the standings are not decided by Pythag.
Yesterday I was making fun of someone liking Superman

He’s the bomb today. I love these stories.

that was me.
See, even in real life, Superman saves people. :P

anyone listening or watching the great lake loons game
allen webster pitching 3 innings 2 hits 0 runs 3 walks 3 Ks
noticed his splits: he has been throwing way more GBs… he was flyball dominant in the beginning of the year
hes as good vs lefties as he is vs RHB except he strikes out lefties at a much higher clip 37 in 30 innings vs LHB only 44 in 57 innings vs RHB.. i think its a sign that his best secondary pitch is defintly his changeup now and not his curve
Im listening right now
Im growing tired of the walks, but the off spead pitches look good

Yeah haha
I wish I could watch, but no milb account for me

Kyle Blanks
out for this year and part of next with TJ surgery. Does this make SD hold on to A-Gon a little longer? I know they won’t deal him this year, but during the offseason I thought they might, because he’ll still want some moola.

Not surprising news
(at least the first part) from Dylan H:
Torre said Ely has the “inside track” to start on Saturday. Billingsley walked into Torre’s office and volunteered to pitch on short rest.

Under, as much as he owns, you’re asking for 10 in a month.
by regfairfield on Jul 28, 2010 6:01 PM PDT up reply actions
He needs to play in AAA to get 10 a month.
If Russ MItchell can hit 10 a month………..
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
How cool would it be for a prospect
to hit double digit home runs in three leagues?
Very Cool

He’s playing at Minute Maid next week…Or Enron or whatever the hell they call that bandbox in Houston…

#Royals have agreed to trade Scott Podsednik to the #Dodgers for 2 minor leaguers. More to come on ESPN.com
It's gonna be Gordon isn't it?
I can just feel it coming…

It depends on how many guys you like
if it’s 150 guys, then yeah definitely :-)
It’s not Sands, or Aaron Miller or someone like that…

No they already said Gordon is off limits
(not sure why he’s totally off limits, but he def should be for this kinda dealio)
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I read the off limits stuff about Gordon too
I just read that to mean that he’s off limits in any deal that doesn’t include Granick!
Yeah hopefully no one is untouchable in a deal for him
