Dodgers Seek Bakers Dozen Against Dusty And The Reds

The Dodgers welcome Reds-hot Cincinnati to town tonight, in a place that has given the Reds trouble for some time. The Dodgers have beaten the Reds 12 straight times at Dodger Stadium, dating back to 2006. The last loss to Cincinnati at home was on July 28, 2005, a game started for the Dodgers by Rule 5 pick D.J. Houlton.

Tonight, the Dodgers will send another Rule 5 pick to the bump, with Carlos Monasterios starting in place of Vicente Padilla, who has a bulging disk in his neck. Monasterios, who has excelled in relatively low leverage relief outings with a 2.32 ERA (and 4.25 FIP & 4.49 xFIP) in 31 innings, has made eight starts this season. In those eight starts, Monasterios has had mixed results, but overall the numbers aren't good: just over four and a half innings per start, 3.93 strikeouts per nine innings, a 4.91 ERA, 6.20 FIP, and 5.48 xFIP.

Joe Torre said yesterday that Monasterios, whose last start was July 30, would be good to throw 80 to 90 pitches tonight.

Homer Bailey missed nearly three months with a shoulder injury, but was activated last weekend to throw six shutout innings against the Marlins on Sunday. Matt Kemp has four hits in eight at-bats against Bailey, including a home run.

Notes

  • The Dodgers have actually made three trips to Cincinnati since the Reds last came to Dodger Stadium. This season, the Dodgers lost two of three in April, but beat the Reds two out of three in June.
  • Cincinnati may have lost 12 straight games at Dodger Stadium, but these aren't your slightly older brother's Reds. They have a three and a half game lead in the NL Central, and at 34-25 have the second-best road record in the National League this season.
  • Ted Lilly's game last night was the 45th shutout by an LA Dodger with at least 11 strikeouts, a list that includes three of the four no-hitters by Sandy Koufax.
  • In four games this week, Dodger starting pitchers have allowed three runs in 30 innings
  • The Dodgers have scored 47 runs in six games against the Reds this season, and allowed 34 runs
  • Manny Ramirez is playing his third rehab game in as many nights tonight for the Inland Empire 66ers in San Bernardino. Ramirez is batting leadoff and playing left field.

She wouldn't have helped much

but she would’ve been less awkward. I just spent too much time in that film feeling sorry for Sofia and finding her awkward to look at, too. Ryder would’ve had more screen presence but ptobably still miscast, and wouldn’t have helped other issues.

Blade Runner

I think Mr. F put Blade Runner in his top five.

For years, I said, y’know, there’s a good movie in there somewhere, but Ridley Scott sure as hell hadn’t found it yet. Then he came out with The Final Cut a few years ago, and it was so satisfying. He finally found the great movie that was in there all along.

that’s great, I haven’t seen La Chinoise yet. I can see why his later films are polarizing, I like the distancing effect they give though. 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, for ex. I like Rivette even more than Godard, and his movies are a chore for most.

Paris might be the best city to see a movie.

You pick up the Pariscope, which is the greatest single periodical in the history of publishing. Movies organized first by title, then by location, cross-referenced. Old movies, new movies, American movies, French movies, world cinema, everything gets shown all the time in Paris.

Sorry if this was posted earlier and sorry to bring up baseball for a second... but MLB Draft Winners and Losers:

from the colleges perspective
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/baseball/news?slug=kr-draftwinlose082010

Loser: • LSU
Let’s just say coach Paul Mainieri and his coaching staff aren’t huge fans of the MLB draft. The Tigers were blindsided last summer when Brody Colvin signed at the last second. They were hit twice in the same fashion this year. The Tigers expected first-rounder Zach Lee to stay with the football team this fall, opting out of a chance to sign with the Dodgers. However, the Dodgers went well over-slot and signed him for $5.25 million. LSU lost Lucas LeBlanc, an 11th-rounder, on deadline day for $500,000. Garin Cecchini, another signee, signed for $1.31 million. Besides the signees the Tigers lost, they also now are without veterans Anthony Ranaudo, Austin Ross, Micah Gibbs, Leon Landry and Blake Dean.

I forgot to mention

that we’d have to move Chad/Broxton/Kuo/Jansen but instead of great pitching we’d have great hitting. We can’t become the Giants again.

broxton and loney for votto – who says no first?

Two lefties back to back

This subject has been mentioned a few times on this site. Anyone asked or heard an explanation of why Kemp doesn’t bat between Ethier and Loney? Eric have you ever had a chance to ask Torre about this.

by wineracquet on Aug 20, 2010 3:52 PM PDT reply actions  

I will ask it tomorrow, hopefully in a way in which Torre will answer.

Just give him some tea first

then he’ll be all relaxed and friendly.

Speaking of movies

I’m off to see one of my favorite actors, Robert Duvall in Get Low.

I loved Duvall in Crazy Heart

The Apostle

was one of the best of the 90s

Especially Duvall.

Duvall is a great actor

yet maybe underappreciated.

Reason enough for me to like it!

i actually saw that in the theater… It’s maybe not good enough for theater, but was amusing as a silly comedy.

Zooey probably saw the list for the rest of the week and backed out.

…or maybe she just didn’t want to be associated with tonight’s starting lineup.

Torre quotes

Joe Torre: “Manny is gonna play 6+ innings in the field (on rehab) then we will make a decision”

Joe Torre hinted the Dodgers might wait till start of road trip to activate Manny Ramirez.

Joe Torre: “Dodgers outfield will be crowded when Manny comes back. Who plays will most likely depend on matchups.”

Joe Torre: “Right now our priorities are to win games, I’m going with matchups as far a closing games. Not afraid to use Broxton.”

Joe Torre on crowded outfield plans: “Scott Podsednik will play some centerfield. Manny won’t play everyday.”

Joe Torre: “Jeff Weaver could be activated after the game depending on what we need in the bullpen.”

The Dodgers have actually made three trips to Cincinnati since the Reds last came to Dodger Stadium. This season, the Dodgers lost two of three in April, but beat the Reds two out of three in June.

scheduling in the age of interleague and unbalanced is just plain fucked up. either add 2 teams to the AL or contract 2 teams in the NL and make a balance sensible schedule that respects the traditions. It aint that hard
