PrintHong-Chih Kuo struck out six of the seven batters he faced, and Matt Kemp provided the fireworks with a two-run shot in the eighth inning, giving the Dodgers a 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
They are 23-6 against the NL West, having won all nine series of three games or more within the division.
The Dodgers have now played 81 games, and won 45. Halfway to 90.
Happy 4th of July, everybody

Serious Question
Corey smith is 28. . what is he doing in AA
by SeanMillerSavior on Jul 4, 2010 5:33 PM PDT reply actions
Furcal
He is currently sitting at 230 PA in 50 games, or 4.6 PA per game. At that rate, he’ll need approximately 15 more games (14.1) to reach the minimum PA plateau.
Something to look forward to tomorrow
Holy crap Casey Blake vs. Nate Robertson
11 for 33 with SIX HR’S! He has no doubles or triples. 5 singles and 6 HR’s with 5 walks.
.333/.421/.879/1.300
Straight up ownage.
Also, look for Belliard to play second base. He’s 8 for 25 lifetime.
Julio
I wanted to let you know that Brey Cook will be announcing his decision on Tuesday between 6 and 6:30 cdt.
Down to Arkansas and Oklahoma.
He will be a Razorback, IMO.
Wow. The 66ers have a shitty offense. Van slyke is hitting really well here, but no one else really is. The only 2 actual prospects on this team seem to be eovaldi and martin

Eovaldi is having a weird season. He gets shelled and you wonder if he has enough pitches to start, then he throws a CG shutout (2 times now). There’s obviously something special here but it’s unrefined.
He obviously has great skill, but it’s like you said, he may be better out of the bullpen. I’d rather he remained a starter, but if he could dominate with his fastball like Jansen then I’m all for it

his lack of a second pitch would still
be exposed in the pen. He is what, 21? He has time and hopefully the slider and change(?) get worked on in the minors. That FB seems killer.

Think about how long it would take him to develop 3 or 4 pitches. :o

Sands' AA line makes me smile
.326/.383/.767
He hasn’t even flashed his speed yet. 14-for-16 in SB attempts in Low-A. This guy is basically awesome.
idk
how much speed he really has. Kensai rates it as average and will become below average as he fills out(crazy he is filled out, huh?)

Running at low-A is very different than AA/AAA/MLB. You aren’t running against Yadier Molina in low-A and pitchers can’t hold runners.

Julio, I noticed your tweet with Keith Law earlier. He seems clueless about Sands.
You wrote to KLaw:
Jerry Sands – 3/4, HR. 6 HR in 11 games. Give him some love, Keith.
He wrote you:
Keith Law: @JulioNievas Last scout I asked about Sands called him “Billy Ashley.”
I wrote:
You sure that scout wasn’t thinking of Kyle Russell? Ashley K’d too much, had hands of stone. Sands is better player.
Billy Ashley? I mean come on now, Keith.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Watched the highlights on Kuo's 2 innings today.
It is unfair with him. Manuel is stupid not bringing him on the team. Lefties are 0-30 with 16 Ks against Kuo.
HOMER!
oh, sorry, I lost my composure for a second

eh?
I mean seriously, if manuel is picking role players like Infante, then bring the best imaginable loogy too, which is Kuo.

As Jon Weisman says
The bad times are never as bad as you think they are but that is balanced by the fact that the good times are not going to last that long.
Such is baseball
I wonder where all the Kemp bashing went last few game threads.
Oops.
