PrintFor the first time in the 43-year history of the award, the Jim and Dearie Mulvey Award, given annually to the top rookie in Dodgers' spring training camp, went to two players. The award, which is voted on by coaches, went to Rubby De La Rosa and Jerry Sands, who won the organizational minor league pitcher and player of the year, respectively, in 2010.
De La Rosa gets the call to start tonight, in the Dodgers' final exhibition game, at Dodger Stadium against the Mariners. In 14 spring innings, De La Rosa has a 3.21 ERA with three walks and 10 strikeouts.
Lineups

Erik Bedard, who is back from injury and the fourth starter for Seattle, gets the start tonight for the Mariners. Also scheduled to pitch for Seattle are Tom Wilhelmsen, Brandon League, and Chris Ray.
Notes
- Clayton Kershaw will donate $100 for every strikeout this season to Arise Africa, "a non-profit organization dedicated to helping end poverty on the continent through health care, education, business and discipleship." Kershaw and his wife Ellen took a trip to Zambia in December, where they helped build a school and raised money for an orphanage.
- The same 11 players from minor league camp that have suited up the last two nights will also be in uniform tonight: Dee Gordon (wearing uniform number 70), Jerry Sands (68), Corey Smith (98), Allen Webster (88), Randy Keisler (91), Justin Sellers (72), Matt Wallach (87), Michael Antonini (92), Steven Ames (93), Jon Huber (71), and Merkin Valdez (97).
- In case you missed it earlier, Fernando Valenzuela will throw out the ceremonial first pitch on opening day tomorrow night against the Giants.
- Among the Giants Kershaw will face Thursday night is Brandon Belt, the rookie who won the first base job for San Francisco. Kershaw and Belt were competitors growing up in Texas, both graduating high school in 2006. Guillermo Mota also made the Giants.
Game Time: 7:10 p.m. PST
TV: None, though the game will be shown online at Dodgers.com.

Hmm. I might have to take it to email or make a fanpost about it, because it while I would not intend it to be that way, it would very easily start a religion/political debate.
But I would buy a shirt or buy one of the packages for Kershaw. I was just interested in the little addition of “discipleship” in there, and was wondering if I could figure out what denomination Kershaw is.

You can choose KABC, and get Steiner-Monday, but not as audio for the video, just on its own, no video. The video itself (with Mariners commentators, who are bland and dull but OK, no homerism) is fantastic high-quality HD, like Blu-Ray.
Couldn’t you run two browsers, have the audio on one and the muted video on the other?

No

BA fail:
Charlie (Washington): What’s the time table with Dodger fireballer Rubby De La Rosa? Do you think he’ll eventually be a starter or reliever.
John Manuel: He’s going to move quickly this year; bet he gets to Double-A by midseason. It’s a special arm, and he has the repertoire to be a starter. There’s effort in the delivery, but I hope he learns to throttle back a bit, not feel the need to throw 102 and learn to grind through a lineup. It’s easier to say a guy with his kind of arm strength would go to the bullpen; I’m holding out hope he can start.
Oh yah Kid K! Well i pledges 13 cents for every ball that one guy catches who goes to all the stadiums trying to get them, what’s his name…………….

Q: Do you understand why people take shots at you?
UZR: Sure I do. I sometimes spit out numbers that don’t match up to what the eyes suggest. It’s not personal with me. But it is personal with baseball fans, and it should be. They are watching the game with love. And they don’t want to be told that their eyes are misleading them, that they might not see the game as well as they think, that their hero doesn’t get to nearly as many balls as they believe.
I tell people that I’m a tool. See, a person would never say call herself a tool. Heh heh. That’s statistical humor. It breaks them up at the conventions. Point is, I’m not perfect. I’m not close to perfect. I’ve gotten better since I was young, and I will keep getting better.

if it makes you feel any better, when I got my wisdom teeth taken out, all four of them were impacted, so four sets of stitches. My pain killer didn’t work, it just made me angry. My mom lied to me about being able to eat ice cream (she didn’t let me, I was 15, so she still could do that). I got food poisoning the first time I tried to eat solid food.
dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti,

I had eight wisdom teeth. They had to put me under general anesthesia. The oral surgeon (also my uncle)‘s explanation — I’m an anthropological throwback.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
nice
they put me under general anesthesia, too. When I got home, I was in so much pain I was just sobbing. This is the only way I was able to get out of the sure grounding that I had earned the night before by not coming home until 4:30 am (there’s a backstory to this where it isn’t my fault, I swear).
But yeah, that was nice. Vicodin? Not so much.
dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti,
in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua
I think I just got the Tylenol with Codeine. I didn’t think it was helping until the first time it wore off completely. Yikes. Between the sobs of pain and puffy face, I’m sure I wasn’t much fun to try to communicate with.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
See, it might have taken the edge off the pain, but it made me really cranky (and cranky Maddz at 15 was really fucking cranky), and that’s all I can really remember almost 10 years later. It just sucked because whenever my sister takes a painkiller, she gets like, super silly. I want that. :(

Note that the pitcher the M’s are facing tonight has a first name of Rubby. “Rubby” is only a first name when used in conjunction with a last name of “McHappyhands”, employed when referring to someone who gets too touchy on a first date.
That is pretty funny, I have to admit.

From Will Carroll:
In comments on Monday, Utley said that he thought the goal was to be back before the All-Star break, while team officials said they were looking at May. In that fuzzy line between what a player feels and is confident about and what the medical staff feels is appropriate, I tend to side with the medical professionals. That isn’t to say that I think Utley needs to “suck it up.” Eric Mack drew a Carlos Beltran comp here during the first Inside Fantasy podcast (left), but I think that’s premature. (More on Beltran below.) I’m setting the ERD at mid-May, but I still don’t have a good handle on how this one’s going to play out or what the next step we’ll see will be. That means uncertainty and I hate uncertainty.

did he look like this all spring?
I have to admit, this is the first dodger game i’ve watched so far :-p
not to be the debby downer of the blog
but i’ve yet to see him throw his third pitch. I just tuned in, but his slider is really something that needs work
No Rafael Furcals were hurt in the making of this video.
fuck off!
he just Ked Milton on that slider.
Obviously, slider is lagging behind but damn, fb change combo is pedro filthy.
okay not quite there but it’s good!
I’m just saying he’s still got work to do before starting every 5th day in the majors, but we all knew that and so does the FO. That being said, this start is pretty eye opening.
No Rafael Furcals were hurt in the making of this video.
You're not Debbie Downer.
Maybe Captain Buzzkill. ;-)
When he does improve that slider, he’s gonna be more than a 5th starter. And I’d already rather see him than Tim Redding in April.

question
if someone has the ceiling of #1/#2, do they start as #5? Or do they usually debut in the rotation slightly higher up?

No, I don't think anyone sees his ceiling as 5th starter
I’ve read more like 2nd or 3rd starter.
5th starter was just mentioned above, and more as where he would likely enter the majors. A few years before his Cy Young votes. :-)

this is true
low quality draft this year. But if he comes back, bulks up, works on his post defense and handles, he’s not going to drop.
I donno. I think he’ll always be a tweener type (not that thats a bad thing), and some of the young guys could jump him. I just dont think anyone should advise him to come back. If he comes back, thats great, but he should be getting the advice to leave.
by UCLADodger32 on Mar 30, 2011 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t think his stock will change much. He will still be an athletic freak with a good jumper that can finish with either hand and draw fouls. He is a tweener though and who knows what next year’s draft will look like, he may fall just because of who is in the draft this year vs. next.

Are you upset because I said you would be upset or because the concept of the Other makes you upset?
Because even I was a little upset when I started talking about how the “I” defines itself in relationship to Other. Ugh. UGHHHH BINARIES.

Team hits .500 but scores zero runs because every inning is three singles, guy gets thrown out at home, double play.

Jon would be the first to tell you that whatever his prediction he will watch and root for them and
hope for the best. He’ll happily be wrong.

I understand wanting to have low expectations and not jinx it this year or anything
but aren’t you carrying it a bit far?

was I supposed to chicken into something tonight?
I wish I could watch the game, but since I am only getting internet right now through the magic of tethering mlb.com is angry with me
These hands will always be rough
just caught up on all the comments
and just started watching the game now. I saw a bit of Rubby’s performance on my phone but I wish I would have seen it all. From what I saw he was very impressive with great movement on his pitches, although it looked like the ump was a bit generous with the strikezone early on. what i’m most excited about was the fact that he was able to handle the pressure of pitching at Dodger stadium with no problem
pressure?
You should see all those empty seats!
by Julio Nievas on Mar 30, 2011 9:21 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah that's true
but just pitching in a big league park would be intimidating to some young pitchers
by Brandon Lennox on Mar 30, 2011 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions
Shouldn't the game be archived?
Even if you don’t have an MLB.tv subscription?
He showed a pretty nasty changeup. Gameday had him clocked as high as 99, Steiner said his FB reached 101.
by Julio Nievas on Mar 30, 2011 9:24 PM PDT up reply actions
I could be wrong because it is safe to say that I do not have a trained eye, but gameday had several borderline pitches being called balls.

but i think he looked pretty good…,had some solid offspeed stuff

yeah i've been watching since the 6th
but i wanted to use game day to see his pitch speed but it’s still stuck in the 7th

that's what i was wondering
but they actually could have run out of guys…they only brought 11 minor leaguers

my connection on mlb/tv is good right now
I got a refund last year because it was just timing out too much. Of course a lot of people aren’t on now either.
I left the library with a heavy heart, eyes downcast
And THEN, I got the guidelines to my term paper in the email!
I changed the date, btw, to 2010, because she had it as 2009. I assume she means last year and not two years ago.
