Dodgers March Double Time, Right Left Right, To Beat Brewers Again

PrintThe Dodgers hit a season high tying six doubles to back Hiroki Kuroda's seven-inning effort, giving the Dodgers their second straight win over Milwaukee, a 5-4 affair. The Dodgers didn't have Hong-Chih Kuo available tonight, so after Jonathan Broxton pitched the eighth inning, Joe Torre deployed three different relievers to get one out each in the ninth to nail down the victory:
Ronald Belisario retired Ryan Braun, southpaw George Sherrill got Prince Fielder, and Octavio Dotel induced a flyout by Casey McGehee to pick up his first save as a Dodger.
Kuroda gave up four runs in his seven innings, but ended his night strong, striking out the side in a perfect seventh inning. On the night, Kuroda didn't walk a batter, and struck out six.
Manny Ramirez collected two doubles and two walks on the night, and Ryan Theriot chipped in with two doubles as well. Casey Blake and James Loney also had doubles, and a single too. Andre Ethier was too cool for the doubles brigade, instead hitting his extra-base hit over the right field wall in the third inning to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.
The Dodgers had six doubles one other time this season, on May 11, a 13-3 win in Arizona.
This was the Dodgers' first back-to-back road wins since July 3-4 in Arizona.
Carlos Monasterios goes for the sweep tomorrow, a day game, against Yovanni Gallardo.
WP - Hiroki Kuroda (9-11): 7 IP, 7 hits, 4 runs, 6 strikeouts
LP - Randy Rolf (10-10): 5 IP, 7 hits, 4 runs, 3 walks, 4 strikeouts
Sv - Octavio Dotel (22): 1 batter, 1 out

Kemp
should have caught that final out in a grittier manner. It looked like he lazily sauntered over to it. Arrogant outfielder.

First game of the Sparks v. Storm playoff series on ESPN2. Y’know, if you wanted to see some fundamental basketball

I did some digging, and found out my other interview friend is a senior in high school. I still like doing the show, or any show. It’s good practice IMO.

Don’t really have the startup capital needed. Would love to do it though.

What capital?
Can’t you basically do it with a 20 dollar mike?

Dave Paschall emailed me saying the Dodgers are most likely going to shut down Withrow. At least he went out with a good start for his last. More details in his upcoming story tomorrow..

Padres are on their way to another win.
Last year at this time: 52-73
This year: 76-49
24 game improvement.
Dodgers:
Last year were: 75-52
This year: 65-62
10 game decline.
I wonder if Baseball Prospectus or ZIPS or any of the other projection sites have ever had a team they picked to be as bad as the Padres end up being this much better.
The last time the #Dodgers had 3 pitchers face one batter & get them out in the 9th inning was 9/27/04
I know the appearances were short
but that is a lot of pitchers to use with a day game tomorrow.

ESPN 710am interviewed Randy Wolf. They asked him “Who was the clubhouse leader?”.
“One guy that probably stuck out was Matt Kemp….
As reported by Roberto at Vin Scully Is My Homeboy.

Didnt Wolf mean that the guy that probably struck out was Matt Kemp?

I think there’s a good chance Jon Garland is back in Dodger Blue next year.
He has a mutual option for 6.5 mils next year. I see him opting out and looking for a multi year deal.
I’m surprised he cant find one.
He’s an innings eater, in his prime..and his era is probably going to be around 4.00-4.25…
If the Red Sox/Phillies would spend money going year to year with guys like Moyer/Wakefield….you’d think they’d just sign Garland to a multi years.
Ned Colletti is our GM
"I despise that [conceding and being a seller]," he says. "It’s not part of my character."
What will his explanation be if the Dodgers win four of the next five games, all before 8/31, and still trades Manny?
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I could deal with trading Manny…and then getting Brad Hawpe for the league minimum for the rest of the season.
I would l love to laugh at them
when he injures himself in a week

Russ Mitchell goes deep twice, and Haeger pitches two hitter
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Russ Mitchell still sounds like a porno guy to me
Russ Meyer + The Mitchell Brothers.

5.5 back with 36 left, chasing 4 teams.
Why does that sound so damn inspiring? 5.5 seems totally doable if our offense plays against Dave Bush and Randy Wolf every game!

One does not simply walk into Mordor
That is why we traded DeWitt
You made us proud Lake Show! 2009 and 2010 BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS!
The Dodgers already made their choice to go all in for 2010?
They’re potentially closer to a playoff spot now then they were back in the end of July? Why not go for it?
depending on how they do
they just might.

That's what I'm thinking
if it’s so easy for other teams to take on Manny’s remaining salary, it’s easy for us too. We’re talking about $1mil more for each of the next 3 years.
based on our remaining schedule…I’d say we both have a chance and control our own destiny. We just have to play like, .800 ball to do it :(

They aren't closer to a playoff spot
When they did the Lilly/Theriot and Dotel deals they were 4.5 games back, behind 3 teams.
Right now they are 5.5 games back, behind 4 teams, only with 22 fewer games to make a run.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 25, 2010 10:11 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
5.5 is still too close for ned to give up
I can understand the lure, but gd I just want us to get something back for that shitty Lilly trade, and that shitty Dotel trade

Oooohhhhhh....
Withrow is done at AT&T Park.
Not for the season.
http://timesfreepress.com/news/2010/aug/26/lookouts-rally-9th-defeat-baybears/
You think he should go to the AFL?
I don’t think so.
In a recent BA article, they said Withrow’s velocity was regularly at 89-92 with touching 93 a handful of times. In May, he was from 92-94. Tired arm.
by Julio Nievas on Aug 25, 2010 11:53 PM PDT up reply actions
If he has a tired arm. No.
But if he still is able to pitch, sure.
Hanson basically made his prospect ranking by dominating the AFL.
Nice job on the interview Eric
