Dodgers Open Series At Petco Park With Lilly Vs. Richard

The Dodgers continue their road trip through the National League West this weekend in San Diego at Petco Park against the Padres. Ted Lilly starts the opener for the Dodgers, and will be opposed by Clayton Richard of the Padres. Lilly made his Dodger debut against the Padres last August 3. He allowed a home run and a single within the first three batters, but settled down to retire the next 20 in a row, picking up the win in a 2-1 Dodger triumph. However, looking back at that game, only Ryan Ludwick, Nick Hundley and Chris Denorfia remain from the Padres starting lineup.
Lilly is 6-3 with a 3.06 ERA in his career against San Diego, the fourth-best ERA for Lilly against any club. Lilly has made 10 career starts against the Padres, and in each game he has pitched six or more innings, averaging 6.93 innings per start. Eight of the 10 outings have been quality starts.
Lilly in his career is just 1-2 in four starts at Petco Park, but he has a 2.77 ERA and has pitched at least six innings in all four outings. In 26 career innings at Petco, Lilly has seven walks and 22 strikeouts, and has given up two home runs.
Richard has not yet tasted defeat against the Dodgers in his career. He got a no-decision while with the White Sox on June 25, 2009, but since he joined the Padres he has won all four starts against Los Angeles. Richard is 4-0 with a 2.56 ERA in his five career starts against the Dodgers, and as a Padre that ERA gets lowered to 1.64. As a Padre, he allowed four runs in a start to the Dodgers once, and in the other three starts he has allowed just one run combined.
In a nice twist, both Lilly and Richard picked up their first career shutouts against tonight's opponent. Lilly, then a Yankee, shutout the Padres at Qualcomm Stadium in 2002, and Richard shutout the Dodgers last September 21, the day the Dodgers were officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Matchups
- Among Padres, Ludwick has faced Lilly the most, with 36 plate appearances. However, Ludwick is just 5-for-32 with four doubles and four walks, hitting .156/.250/.281
- Neither Padre backstop has reached base against Lilly: Hundley is 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts, and Rob Johnson is 0-for-2 with one strikeout
- The homer-prone Lilly has allowed no home runs in 107 combined PA against current members of the Padres
- Andre Ethier is just 1-for-12 against RIchard, while Rafael Furcal is slightly better, at 1-for-10 with three walks
- Juan Uribe is 7-for-15 with a triple, home run, and two walks against Richard, hitting .467/.529/.800
- Jamey Carroll is 5-for-11 with four walks against Richard, hitting .455/.600/.455
- Marcus Thames, the starter in left field tonight against the southpaw, faced Richard back in 2009. In six plate appearances, Thames had three walks and three fly outs, two to "deep" center. Maybe one of those can go out tonight.

I admit, I was surprised that Xei chose to do the O/U of Richard’s home runs allowed and not Lilly’s.

Rare sports day. Lakers, Clippers, Ducks, Kings, Angels and Dodgers all play today. And for an hour or so will all be playing at the same time.
Somebody had to get bumped so the Clippers don’t even have a local broadcast of their game.
Ya, that trade was dumb. The Clippers have no true PG now.

Set the DVR. Tonight’s game will be on broadcast TV, on KCOP, Channel 13. So if you don’t have cable or a dish, you’re in luck. Then again, if you don’t have cable or a dish, you’re probably not my audience for this blog, so never mind. There’s no pre-game show or post-game show, but they will have the game, which is nice.

Could have sworn the Clips game notes said Prime Ticket, but I don’t have the file saved here. Very weird.
Hope they all win. Oh wait, I guess four out of five is the best we can do. Do they have ties in hockey? Are they allowed to cry??
I stopped following hockey once they got rid of the 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, no points for a loss system.
Isn’t it still essentially that system?
If you win in OT or the shootout, you get the 2 points, but the “losing” team keeps the one point for the regulation tie?
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
You get a point for just getting to overtime. The third point is awarded for winning in OT or overtime.

The lesson, as always
Just say your sorry, even if you don’t say specifically what you are sorry about.
Actually, in real life, this is a good strategy. When Bride and I bicker, it usually ends with, “I’m sorry” and “Me too,” even if both of us are secretly thinking, “But I was right.”

Ryan Theriot
beats Brian Wilson.
Bases loaded single with two outs on a full count. Cardinals take a 4-3 lead in the ninth.
That’s what I get for putting Wilson on my fantasy team. I tried to trade him to one of my brothers for Ian Kinsler, but he wouldn’t go for it.
Thank you!

I thought it would be too petty given other stuff over past week to tweet about this but...
I have seen evidence that Giants fans leave close games early. And now my g/f has confirmed (she works near the ballpark and is taking the N Judah home from there, same streetcar all fans take), in 8th inning already streams of fans leaving.
Of course we all knew this already, and I really wouldn’t give a crap about fans leaving early, if it wasn’t for all the crap I’ve taken over years for same about Dodger fans. And AT&T Park has great public transport options nearby.
anyway… no one cares Just had to post that somewhere.
Also, Hah Hah! Brian Wilson.

Maybe it wasn’t Dodger fans who beat Bryan Stow, since it happened after the game. If it happened during the 7th inning, it would be more believable.

I would assume that because she’s a black belt, that she’s probably spent several years learning how to punch, how to spar, how to break shit with her bare hand, and has probably done a really impressive amount of pushups. But really, I think you should ask her, yourself. I think that would be the most prudent way to answer your question.

Pitchers aren’t perfect. If he walks the guy, that is the game. I don’t know if I hate the move etiher — I’d rather face DeRosa than Sandoval — but still, it’s risky.

C'mon, let's rock tonight...we're goin' right out of our minds!
and he'll remind you
about number 5 repeatedly
C'mon, let's rock tonight...we're goin' right out of our minds!
I thought he would remind us
of his work schedule, his new bowling ball, and some new fast food place in Redondo
Are you the black guy?
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Do you rock a headset when you play Wow?
and trash talk all the asian kids?

Its pretty cool but this sounds like bs:
How high is the nest?
About 80 feet.
How big is the nest?
5-6 feet across, about the same deep; it weighs about 1½ tons.
A birds nest weighs 1.5 tons?
3000 pounds does seem a bit heavy for a tree to support, and I think eagles nest high in the trees. (Aeries, right?)
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
The Bald Eagle builds the largest nest of any North American bird, up to 4 meters (13 ft) deep, 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) wide, and one metric ton (1.1 tons) in weight.2
I’m trying to thing of how many twigs it would take to get 1.1 tons of twigs…and its not like those birds can carry alot of branches in their mouths at one time.
On the live stream that male eagle just flew away a couple minutes ago…i’m going to keep watching to see what he brings back to the nest.
I was reading earlier that he brought back a rabbit and a fish earlier.
Eagles are pretty damn big. What they can carry back in their talons I would imagine being described as sticks or small branches rather than twigs.
I have red-tailed hawks that nest in the tops of my pine trees every year. Saw one bring back a big-ass snake, looked to be six feet long and maybe two inches in diameter.

Hey Mike
too early to revisit the Aminu vs. Paul George Clippers pick?
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 8, 2011 6:32 PM PDT reply actions
Nope. You win. I hate rookies. Draft picks are bullshit.

Fair enough
Maybe its a blessing in disguise that the Clippers dont have a 1st rounder this year
by SeanMillerSavior on Apr 8, 2011 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions
It’s just too much of a crap shoot and picks are completely overvalued by the league. I would be very aggressive trying to trade picks for players.

Huh?
@BillShaikin: Sources confirm MLB has made no decision on McCourt’s proposed deal w/Fox. The $200m loan was rejected awhile ago, not part of this deal.
Will the game thread be delayed as well?
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
That seems like it’s inevitable to be canceled

Dodgers setting up away game viewing parties
taking a page out of the Galaxy book. Giants have been doing these for awhile too
You need to provide us with more information.

Maybe it’s blacked out because of the rain delay
by Michael White on Apr 8, 2011 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions
