Thursday Dodgers Notes: Broxton Burned, Kershaw No Runs Earned, & Elbert Returned

The Dodgers fell to the Padres today 8-2 at Camelback Ranch, and for those that are keeping track their Cactus League record is 5-9. But the tale of today's spring training game lies in the travails of three pitchers: Clayton Kershaw, Jonathan Broxton, and Scott Elbert.
Kershaw was a bit wild, especially compared to his last outing. He threw first-pitch strikes to nine of his 20 batters faces, and took four batters to a three-ball count, after taking just one batter to a two-ball count on Saturday against the Reds. Today, Kershaw threw 69 pitches by my unofficial count (28 balls, 41 strikes) in his 4 1/3 innings. He walked two (Chris Denorfia, twice), allowed four singles, one unearned run, and struck out three Padres. The run in the first, not to mention Kershaw's high pitch count (he threw 23 pitches in the first), was largely due to a pair of errors by third baseman Casey Blake, one on a throw and another on a ground ball. In 11 1/3 innings this spring, Kershaw has yet to allow an earned run.
Broxton was very rough in his outing. He faced five batters, and the only out recorded on his watch was on the bases. Broxton allowed a home run, two singles, a walk, and he hit a batter. To top it all off, he allowed three stolen bases as well. I didn't get to see Broxton's outing, but it should be noted that Hector Gimenez, his catcher in the sixth inning today, has caught 18 innings this spring, and opposing runners are 7-for-7 in stolen base attempts.
But that's not to excuse Broxton. He has faced 12 batters this spring and has yet to strikeout a single batter, while walking two. Yes, it's early in spring and there is still time to work on things, but whatever Broxton needs to improve upon, he needs to do it quickly. The Dodgers this offseason built a pitching staff whose strength was its depth; with starting pitchers dropping like flies, the bullpen needs to be at full strength for the Dodgers to go anywhere. An effective Broxton is the key to the bullpen this year.
Elbert saw his first game action in eight days today, and pitched a scoreless eighth inning. He was still wild, falling behind at least three of the four hitters he faced, but he did only walk one of the four batters he faced (after walking six of his first 10 batters, that's a steep improvement), picked up a strikeout, and still hasn't allowed a ball to be hit out of the infield this spring.
The Dodgers head to Phoenix tomorrow to battle Oakland. Chad Billingsley gets the start for Los Angeles, making his third start of the spring. Gio Gonzalez will start on the mound for the A's.
The Dodgers have signed right-handed reliever Steven Jackson to a minor-league deal, per Matt Eddy of Baseball America. Jackson pitched parts of the last two seasons with the Pirates, putting up a 4.31 ERA in 51 games, with 28 walks and 28 strikeouts in 54 1/3 innings. Eddy in a tweet said Jackson "could surprise people as 3-pitch reliever—up to 94 mph with good slider, change most times."

Broxton must have some serious recoil on his arm for it to be there in that picture. He had to have gone down with his arm and back up before his back and leg finished following through. Big dog, use your back.

As a Latino, I appreciate the thought
but seeing “Los Lakers” and “El Heat” on the uniforms tonight seems kinda halfhearted to me. Why not go the whole nine and put the Spanish names on the jerseys? It’s more authentic and you (in essence) reach out in appreciation to the Chicano fans. Also, Los Lagodrones and El Calor just seem so much better for Noche Latino…

I actually took the time (cuz I'm a nerd like that)
to translate the names of all the NBA teams into Spanish. Obviously, I had to take some liberties with certain words (there’s no Spanish word for the dinosaur type of “raptor,” for example), but all in all, I liked the results…I think it’s a legit idea.
"Flame yo, hot man!"

“Los Veleros,” keeping in mind that their nickname comes from a slang term for a type of boat, according to Wikipedia.

One reason why I enjoyed translating the names
is I got to learn different things about the teams’ histories. The Spanish names could be another way for people to expand their knowledge in the same way.

Yeah, but this is the NBA, home of the LA Lakers and Utah Jazz. The LA Clippers might not make sense but, comparatively, that name gets a pass.

San Pedro is part of the city of Los Angeles. If you consider the Lakers to represent LA the county (sorta hadta when they played in Inglewood), then there are two large harbors full of ships, what with Long Beach existing too.

Side note
Lakers wearing white uniforms tonight (with “Los Lakers”).
I at least have a scapegoat if they lose.
Can't believe
Cam Newton could only manage a 83% completion rate on 60 undefended pass attempts this week.
I hope he goes #1 overall though. Or that there's a bidding frenzy to move up to get him. :-)
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'm desperately hoping
Rivera goes defensive and picks Fairley.
"Flame yo, hot man!"
"...Flame...yo?"
"[shrugs]"
Yeah some scouts have him ranked there
and I really dig him. There’s more debate about who is the #1 this year than in any year I recall. Lots of very good defensive players, less obviously can’t-miss offensive players this year, very strange year
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
no can't miss Qbs
and no Suh will do that to a draft. Peterson should be number one, but for w/e reason everyone says a CB can’t be number 1.
These hands will always be rough
yeah
I think the thinking is (which I don’t nec agree with) is that a CB can be avoided if they are that good, whereas a top DL or LB who can blitz and do a lot more damage up front are harder to avoid. But I just say best player available and know that any of them can be gamechangers.
I personally really like Von Miller who may have vaulted into the top 5.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Its silly though of course
because no one says that when people are throwing megamillions at free agent CBs. If he shuts down one side of the field that automatically lets you shade your FS over to the other side anyways.
These hands will always be rough
This is one hell of a source
"He wants the Riley way preserved as much as he wants the winning," says a league source well-connected with the dynamic between Riley and his coaches.
Tomorrow's Long Beach vs UCSB Big West semifinal game should
emphasis on should because UCSB is so streaky, be an excellent game. ESPNU 630 tomorrow.

FYI
not that it matters with Belisario MIA (not El Heat), but our favorite wacky Venezuelan actually has two years, 151 days of service time, not 2 years, 133 days, as previously thought.
There was a difference between the end of season media guide and the 2011 media guide, so I asked the Dodgers about it. I didn’t get a ton of detail, other than the 2.151 figure is correct and it is based on what MLB and the Players Association agreed regarding how much service time Belisario would receive while on the restricted list last year.
i noticed that too when i saw the media guide

by bhsportsguy on Mar 10, 2011 6:09 PM PST via mobile reply actions
if you pick up on a bartender, you go into it acknowledging that a) she won’t be off until close so you have to stay sober long enough to pick her up from work, b) she’s going to get the same lines from you until 2am, and most importantly c) if she says yes to you, she’s said yes to a lot of people.
I hear a good pickup line from guy to cute bartender is, “What do you suggest I drink?”

honestly no, because anytime a waiter or bartender flirted with me, i just made conversation and moved on. Not a fan of the bar pickups as a rule. employees and customers alike.
No Rafael Furcals were hurt in the making of this video.
I have no need to hit on a hot lady bartender. I am married. I am also ugly, stupid, and lousy in bed, so I have nothing that a hot lady bartender would be interested in.
That said, if I were going to try to hit on a hot lady bartender, this is what I would say: “Look, I know it’s your job to be nice to the patrons and flirty. And I know you must get hit on all the time. Still, I’ve had a good time talking to you and I’d like to take you out sometime. If you’re interested, here’s my (email/number).”
Then I would leave an exceptionally large tip.

back when I worked at laser tag, I used to say “…and if you’re lost, lonely, confused, scared of the dark and just want to hold my hand, stand in one place, put your lazer high above your head and yell ‘GAMEMASTER!’”
I had to change it because I had too many dumb teenage boys ask me if I would hold their hand. No. Not a good look, buddy.

My parents had alot of damage to their house. The way our rooms were set up we foolishly had these hanging big ass things over our beds..things you would put books in, dodger crap ,chotskies etc …(i really can’t believe my parents did that as a parent now, but I digress) and when the fire dept came out or the inspection people they said were anyone in these rooms when the earthquake hit and my folks said no and they said good cause if they were in bed (it was at 430AM and in 94 I may or may not have been in bed!) most likely they both would be dead..

imagine being halfway around the world and watching LA getting destroyed
about
20 some years ago, my parents and sister were on a cruise in Bahamas and news story came across wire that earthquake hit LA (Whittier Narrows). Back then, that was all they knew for a few days

It's hard to compare
hearing about an earthquake while imagining the worse vs. actually watching the destruction happen live and processing it in front of your eyes
I was at school when a 7.8 hit the main island in the Philippines
I immediately got down under a desk… Yeah I know, real brave of me…

As bad as this sounds, I think I'd rather be at home with my family
Than be here, a thousand miles away…

I would too
(my parents are from Concepcion, Tarlac)
Apparently, waves are expected to arrive in Northern Philippines at 9:55 GMT
I have no idea what that means, Pacific Time-wise…

I'm worried about the Marshall Islands
I have a lot of friends from there and the atolls are at sea level
It's so weird sitting here waiting for the tsunami to hit
in about half an hour. We are told that it won’t be too serious because the small islands off the coast would absorb most of the energy. Hopefully they are right.
That’s not gonna help evacuation efforts… Not to mention jangled nerves…

Just heard from my son in Japan
He’s fine was down in Hiroshima-ken. Ironically, his original teaching assignment was up in Miyagi, but his company moved him at the last minute.
