Dodgers Go Deep To Beat Brewers, 7-1

PrintSpring training stats don't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, unless of course your team is the one hitting bombs all day. The Dodgers broke out the lumber today in Phoenix, hitting four home runs to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 at Maryvale Stadium. Tony Gwynn led off the game with a home run off old friend Takashi Saito, and the Dodgers followed his lead the rest of the way.
Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Aaron Miles (he of the 16 career home runs) all went deep, and the Dodgers had four doubles as well. Fellow 25th man candidates Ivan DeJesus and Justin Sellers each hit two-baggers. Sellers and Jerry Sands did double duty today, as both played in the B game this morning against the Mariners as well. Sands walked in his only plate appearance against the Brewers.
Today was the first game in the field for Jay Gibbons, who started in left field. Gibbons, who provided some adventurous efforts in left field last season in his short Dodger tenure, was in left again today in the third inning when Wil Nieves hit a drive to left center field. But, since this game was not televised anywhere, we didn't know exactly where the ball was hit, and were treated to this play call from Brewers' announcer Brian Anderson: "Back is Gibbons, this is gonna be…caught by Kemp!"
What sounded like a ball to left field was actually left center, and Kemp made a sweet play. Add that play to Kemp's booming opposite field home run -- someone in the press box was overheard saying of Kemp's blast, "that just sounded big" -- and The Bison had a good day.
John Ely started for the Dodgers, and pitched well again, allowing one hit in his three innings of work, striking out two. Ely has pitched six innings this spring, and has no walks and seven strikeouts. Ron Mahay gave up the only Brewers' run, a towering shot to centerfield by Prince Fielder.
Aside from all the home runs today, there were some fireworks as well at the end of the sixth inning. Roman Colon struck out Casey McGehee to end the inning and, according to the Brewers' radio broadcast, McGehee took exception to Colon's demonstration on the mound after the inning-ending K. Both Colon and McGehee began jawing back and forth with one another, then both benches joined in and briefly emptied, but like in most cases, nothing really happened.
Tomorrow, the game is televised, which means we will be able to see the scheduled spring debut of Hong-Chih Kuo. James Loney, out since Sunday with a swollen left knee, is also expected to play tomorrow, against Seattle at Camelback Ranch.

One note in the Kim Ng stories
It appears that Torre will work out of Los Angeles while Kim Ng is moving to New York. One other thing, one of her major products will be working on the documentation issue re Dominican players’ birth certificates. This is part of the master plan to potentially have a world-wide draft.
Makes sense, thought it strange that Joe would move back to NY given how his family loved LA.
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
Exactly, that is what I was replying about.
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
One other thing
about Ng’s replacement, it does seem that one issue would be that both White and Watson live in Arizona and are out on the road, whereas Kim Ng was based in LA. It appears to me that the Dodgers will probably divide her duties up and perhaps see a reorganization after this season (the reorg is just speculation on my part)
Heres an option
Promote one of the 97 Special Assistants.
How would that be legal in other countries?
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
And the NBA too, no?
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Pau Gasol nods in agreement :-)
I Guess that was a rhetorical question just to add to the point. Yeah they already do this in other sports. Players don’t have to sign and play with these teams if they dont want to.

and it’s not like the NBA/MLS just writes down the names of players around the world down on business cards and throws them into a hat. Players have to declare for the draft. But they do so knowing that there is a system in place for teams to secure the rights to negotiate with them. It won’t be an open negotiating process
Why would other countries have to follow what some United States Trust comes up with regarding their own citizens?
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
They don't
but if the player wants to come and play for the MLB the MLB has every right to restrict what team they can sign with.

I think he’s referring to the birth certificates, not the draft.

Is it better to live as a monster or die as a hero?
Nope, I’m referring to the legality of the draft in the Dominican Republic or Cuba.
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
They aren't forcing them to not play in other leagues
they are just telling them what team in the MLB they can play for.
Is it better to live as a monster or die as a hero?
a foreign government could also impose regulation limiting its citizens. A MLB team can draft a Cuban prospect, but if the Cuban government says Hell No, You Can’t Go, then the MLB team ends up owning the player’s rights until he defects or is granted permission.
No Rafael Furcals were hurt in the making of this video.
I can see that making for an interesting late round draft strategy
Where teams toss on a 30th round pick or whatever to claim the rights to some Cuban on the off chance he defects sometime.
Why wouldn’t it be legal? If those players want to play in the MLB, they have to go through the amateur draft. Just like with Canada now.

Because MLB is an privately held company, not a sovereign nation. It can impose regulation on it’s potential employees.

Sounds like MLB isn’t investing in scouting the area = fewer players get drafted from PR = fewer kids grow up wanting to play MLB/have PR icons to follow = fewer PR prospects.

It sounds like they blame it on them being in the draft while the DR isn't
so if they bring everyone else in, it would level the playing field

Well, that doesn’t sound like a problem created by subjecting them to the draft, right?
by Michael White on Mar 8, 2011 4:11 PM PST up reply actions
I think its a question of baseball infrastructure
In the Dominican Republic for example, most teams have some sort of “baseball academy” where teams can just sign players and then start developing them in their academy and the DSL.
In PR they don’t have the schools and athletic programs we have here in the states, and now also do not have these academies the other countries have.
Gotcha. And the academies went the way of the dodo bird because of the draft, or so the argument goes?

I may have misread, but what I heard was…“waaaaahh, we don’t want to develop foreign talent in our minor league system. We just want to harvest the talent after they develop it”
I wish they would have the previous winner present the trophy, like a golf tournament. We can then see a forlorn Josh Lindblom hand Sands the trophy with a melancholy look on his face.
Is this a new development?
was he terribly wild this spring? He’s the TBLA #18 prospect and some here thought switching back to relieving he could be good again. wha happen?

Minor league pitchers workouts began in earnest on Saturday. Early minor league camp began on February 23, but I don’t know who showed.
I haven’t fully read G.Scott’s recap yet, so I don’t know if Lindblom was one of the 387 players he profiled :)
I ain't believing Lindbom's toast until I hear that one of us could hit his fastball
;-)
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Lindblom was not in camp. I assume he’s in MiLB camp. Didn’t get to go to the MiLB workouts so I had no news on Zach Lee either. The ropes keep you only at the two main practice fields, the stadium, and the main bullpen area.
No Rafael Furcals were hurt in the making of this video.
Well I'm just wondering where/when?
Has he pitched in spring training? In B games? Or is this from reports of him throwing on the side?

On Friday before he was reassigned, he was walking quickly through the crowd to the clubhouse when someone asked for his autograph. He gruffly said “I gotta go”. We now know why.

I didn’t even notice he was released until seeing the strike-through. I wonder if he will catch on elsewhere.
Last year the Dodgers made their first cuts on March 14, which was nine days after their first spring game. They cut four players, including optioning Kenley Jansen. They waited until the Taiwan trip was done before making the first cuts.
This year, the first game was February 26, so the first cut, on March 4, was six days after the first game.
Then again, last year, the Dodgers’ first cut brought them down to 61 players in camp, while they are at 58 now (sans Belisario both times).
maybe thats the point
he is trying to fuck with the pitcher

I think that this is nothing but window dressing, the players get 5 games and the coach gets two for lying. It’s almost like a minor penalty in hockey. Suspend him for the whole season without pay. Send the Message.
From Brewers beat writer
Dodgers pitcher Roman Colon on Prince Fielder charging at him from dugout: “He has to let that ego go a little bit.”
While I am all for getting Fielder’s goat, it sure seems like:
1) Fielder’s goat is there to be gotten, and
2) He sure likes going after shitty middle relievers.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
2)
Whats it they say, its not how you treat your peers, but your lessers? Basically, Fielder is a douche.

12 Cent comic books and .29 cents a gallon is all I remember from that world
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
all the comic books were from 65-68 but the gas was early 70’s before the first “gas crises” where we actually sat in line for blocks to get gas, hoping not to run out of gas while waiting.
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
now you’re supposed to feel like a winner when you can get a comic for a buck. DC and Marvel are gravitating toward 3.99. From 2.99, jumped a whole dollar

elementary school – orange juice – 10 cents, breakfast = 25 cents, lunch – 45 cents, though school lunch was a rarity for me
I may have purchased a school lunch less then 20 times in my life.
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
There was one particular year in elementary school that I purchased a school lunch all year. I think my mom got one of those year-long plans, so I just basically had a punch card if I remember right.
I think milk and orange juice was in the 25 cent range, too, but I don’t fully remember.

this happened to me on a 10 dollar fixit ticket
judge knocked it down to 150.
Is it better to live as a monster or die as a hero?
The judge was pretty awesome
he literally just told us that if we admitted guilt he would reduce everyones fines to the minimum.

Thanks K3vo for being Josie while Josie learns stuff. Yes, in the interest of fairness, they reshuffle the remaining teams for each round going forward in the tourney

The Heat lose again. Lebron goes off for 31 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists and Wade added 38 points 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Everybody else is trash. Including Bosh who appears to have completely fooled everybody into thinking (and paying him) he’s a superstar.
I look forward to Bynum, Gasol, and Odom making mincemeat of the Heat middle on Thursday.
Time to return that awful Christmas present.
Im still shook from that domination on Christmas
to be confident that the Lakers will win thursday

The Heat could absolutely win on Thursday; LeBron and Wade are awesome.
I am just very happy with the way the Lakers are playing right now. When they are deliberate in their attempts to go inside to Bynum and Gasol, the offense flows much better. Factor in Bynum playing like a beast on defense, and they are peaking right now.
Right. It sure looks like a perfect matchup for LAL with Bosh playing like Tim Thomas.

Tim Thomas, the man who cost LA a Lakers/Clippers playoff series (well the Lakers defense for leaving Thomas open for the game-tying three in Game 6 against the Suns).
Well, ya. I was more thinking of the Tim Thomas the Clipper signed the off-season following those playoffs who decided to mope around and jack up shots, never really feeling like going into the paint.

Here is video of today's "incident"
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13165043
There wasn’t much to it at all, and the only reason it escalated at all is because Prince Fielder is batshit crazy and came running with a full head of steam from the dugout.
Fielder’s a dick. I don’t think Colon did anything to show anybody up. He was just happy to get out of the bases-loaded jam.
Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.
seriously what a shithead

in this case, I’m pretty sure Fielder literally has feces where his brain should be
by Josie Becker on Mar 8, 2011 10:40 PM PST up reply actions
We all knew Prince was crazy when he tried to get in our clubhouse. As much as I want his bat, I don’t want that shit on our team. What a d-bag.

The video doesn't show everything unfortunately
Is your Papelbon of Spring training middle innings going to be on the team?
There are plenty of videos of the pitcher doing his fist pump. Yea, it was an overreaction for ST, but this guy may never sniff the majors…big deal get over it. Prince needs to be able to realize he could rake the guy with the bat and just let that do the talking.

So fielder should charge the mound every time someone fist pumps?

Ok so you are MIke Gillespie
the opposing pitcher just walked your first two batters, now you have runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs, bottom of the first with your #3 hitter up, what do you do?
Is it better to live as a monster or die as a hero?
bunt of course
and then bunt in every other situation with less then 2 outs and not a runner on 3rd. Then again, and again, and again, and again. Bunt bunt bunt. Then again the one time they actually had a runner on 2nd and a guy got a hit the guy didn’t score so maybe college players are just slow as shit.
