Chad Billingsley's June Swoon Continues As Dodgers Swept Away By Reds

Chad Billingsley's June to forget got worse on Wednesday afternoon, as the Dodgers got swept by the Reds at Dodger Stadium, the final game by a score of 7-2. Billingsley at the plate has done well this month, hitting .600/.667/1.400 in all of six plate appearances. However, opposing batters have been similarly comfortable, hitting .448/.513/.625 in three games (with a .500 BABIP).
Billingsley allowed seven runs and nine hits today in four innings of work, his fourth straight game allowing eight or more hits. The last Dodgers pitcher to allow eight or more hits in four straight starts was Derek Lowe in July 2007.
Dee Gordon had two hits, the fifth time in eight starts he has had two or more hits, and is hitting .333/.333/.389 so far in his young career. Gordon also got caught stealing for the first time in his career, as Travis Wood picked him off in the first inning.
The last time the Dodgers were eight games under .500 was July 26, 2006. They did win 11 straight and 17 of their next 18 games, but somehow I don't see that happening this season. If they are to start such a streak, it will begin against the Astros on Friday.
WP - Travis Wood (5-4): 6 IP, 5 hits, 1 run, 5 walks, 2 strikeouts
LP - Chad Billingsley (5-6): 4 IP, 9 hits, 7 runs, 4 walks, 3 strikeouts

Shitty just called to complain

First caller on DT
Says Ned should be let go by placing extending Chad with his other decisions that did not work out.
I've heard of revisionist history
but reactionist history?
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Now that is a comment worthy of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.

Most hated current Dodgers by the average fan attending the games (judging by boos).
Billingsley,
Broxton
Uribe
Think so?
Uribe got no boos last night, and Broxton gets booed everytime he throws a ball anymore.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
i've heard Uribe get boo'ed louder than any Dodger position player
for a couple of his 1 pitch AB specials.
Yeah
no one really cares about Uribe.
They boo Broxton, Bills, it depends on how he does.
Dodger fans don’t tend to boo players as much as situations. (except Andruw Jones).
Broxton is definitely number one. Billingsley might be two, but the fans are pretty fickle. If the starting pitcher does well, they won’t hear much, but Billingsley probably hears a more vociferous reaction that the others when he doesn’t do well.

Chad at worst is a 3/4
How much did he get for his FA years?
How much would he make on the open market?
I loved the deal at the time, I still love the deal now.
hey
no one saw the 2006 streak coming either :)
I recall that on KFWB 980
the Dodgers just lost to St. Louis I think to go 8 under and they had pre-arranged a Dodger Talk show with I think A Martinez with Ned and Frank. Ned was saying how hard it was to acquire power and a top of the rotation guy as they were approaching July 31st.
They went out and swept the Nationals I think and then swept the Reds with Greg Maddux leading the charge.
That was a hilarious show
Someone even called in whining about the LoDuca trade that Ned had nothing to do with.
Billingsley has been so bad he turns every hitter into Chad Billingsley

i'd hate to give the Yanks a cost controlled #2 - #3 starter in his prime..
But the Dodgers need some position players.
Pratt Maynard
isn’t getting your juices flowing as our future catcher?
Overqualified in an underqualified world since 2008.
Also
I am not sure people want any pitcher with 3.5 years under contract that is not a number one. /ducks
Well I should clarify
I don’t believe he would be an attractive pick up for a team in terms of giving up prospects.
Yep. Not giving up anything for Bills at this point is ignoring one of the best pitchers in baseball over the last three years because of three bad starts.

I agree
It’s not like he’d get a top 25 prospect most likely, but I could see him netting a top 50 and top 75 prospect easily. Very good and underrated young pitcher with a team friendly contract? Sounds like a lot of trade value to me.

That being said
I could see the Red Sox taking a flier on Rafy.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I don't know about Guerrier
or Lilly. I could see the yanks taking Lilly in an instant. With the contracts that people where handing out to relievers I could see someone desperate grabbing guerrier
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
well if the yankees would take lilly in an instant
then you’d thy’d be wililng give up something for Billingsley.
I'm much more interested in keeping billz then I am Lilly though
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
can't be giving up on Billz
he has a good contract and he is just in a swoon, I’m sure he’ll get out of it. I’d much prefer Kuroda be willing to waive his NT and get something for him than trade Billz…if we get really bad but Lilly is pitching well he can go too for a decent return.

I dont understand why anyone keeps using ERA+ for anything
It’s all based off his ERA which is pretty much never the true talent level for anyone. FIP and xFIP are much better. If that’s not the point then what is?

I expected when gone for the day celebrating g/f’s bday thats I might miss a good game, maybe a win. Ugh, what a stinker. Sorry. What is up with Bills exactly? Not locating? Decreased velocity? Blame mccourt?
Fruatrating since I am in his corner.
Of course scoring 1 run off wood and company is also pretty inexcusable. Oh well. Hope they can regroup soon and be competitive again at least.

We might be
the 3rd worst team in baseball talent-wise, only better than the Pads or Astros (gloom and doom)
or we may have bottomed out, ready for our projected bullpen (minus Stalker) to come back and will make the slow ascent to mediocrity thanks to a healthy lineup and still solid starting pitching once Bills bounces back (rainbows and ice cream)

Moving along
with the current teachers and future teachers/professors who frequent this place, what do they think of this OP ED piece.
Maybe if there were better teachers a professional journalist wouldn’t go “man aren’t these research papers crazy” and use that to dismiss the value of research funding.
@andrewngrant
by regfairfield on Jun 15, 2011 5:06 PM PDT up reply actions
I thought the point was
tenured professors should spend more time teaching classes. On that one section, the writer did question certain research topics.
Yeah, and I absolutely hate that. Almost any paper sounds dumb to people outside of the field until you tell them why it’s important.
Hell I don’t know anything about those papers she presented and I could tell they had important implications.
@andrewngrant
by regfairfield on Jun 15, 2011 5:25 PM PDT up reply actions
And even ignoring that, her argument is that professors should teach more intro classes but that’s just a waste of their time. Anyone with a degree in their field should be able to teach a 100 level class, you don’t need to use your highly qualified professors teaching basic calculus.

the argument as I’ve always heard it is, undergrads are sold on getting to work with x and y professor and nobel prize winner, but then those professors never teach any classes.
The problem is, until those undergrads know basic skills, especially in the sciences, they are of no help to those research professors. Having those professors teach intro classes is like taking a F1 car out on the 405

What I saw at the game
Went to the game today and just got back. Have scanned the comments. One thing I noticed that was also brought up on Dodger talk, while there were no homers against Bills today he was unable to close out many batters even thought he had 2 strikes on them.
Although still no power Loney continues to make better contact the catch by Gomes was amazing.
on Dodgers Live
they were showing the location of the hits, and a lot of them were not really bad pitches, but the Reds were hitting them.
Hanigan hooked a pitch way outside into LF for a hit with the bases loaded. One of Rolen’s doubles was on a ball waaaay inside. Not saying it was all bad luck, but there was some of that going on as well.

2011- Bruins

Andres Santiago
Is starting tonight for the Dodgers. He’s a 21-year old who was drafted out of Puerto Rico in the 16th round in 2007. He’s listed as 6’1", 218 pounds, and that looks about right from here. He missed most of last season with an ankle sprain, and was in rookie leagues for four straight years. Brandon had him ranked 107th before the season.
This season with the Quakes, Santiago is 1-2 with a 3.79 ERA in 35 2/3 innings (five starts, seven relief appearances), with 14 walks and 30 strikeouts, and only one home run allowed. He hit 92 mph in the first inning to the last batter; I wasn’t paying attention to the board before that.
He just hit a dude too.
66ers 3B Steven Irvine just batted with first & second, no outs, and tried to sacrifice. He bunted a soft liner right back to the mound, caught by Santiago, back to second for an easy double play. Somewhere Larry Bowa is fuming.
Thanks for the diversion, Eric.

I can't sign up for Baseball Nation on SB Nation
I press the “Join Baseball Nation” button with the box checked and it literally does nothing. Very annoying.

Seems like it, lol
I feel compelled to post in the Are Giants Really good…or really lucky post from Neyer. Of course there are typical “they haven’t been lucky they have overcome a bad offense blah blah blah” It really grinds my gears, haha.

I hadn't, maybe i'll try it on IE rather than firefox

firefox has flash issues, so that could be it. You don’t fly with Chrome yet?

Nah, i prefer FF
Haven’t tried chrome. I think i accidentally unabled something. It’s still not letting me post or something when i press reply, it just sends me to the top of the page.

theres little dif between firefox 4 and chrome in terms of functionality

i've never heard of these flash issues with firefox
hell I’ve had flash chrash on me in chrome more then any other browser. Whats important to realize is that flash sucks in ALL browsers, and its no ones fault other then adobe.

that’s what I hear. I meant more, there are some flash programs that make me restart Firefox in 32 bit mode, which means nothing to me

I was a good little sheep until Safari started cocking up Getglue.com, then I downloaded the new firefox with the app tabs, and I have no incentive to go back. I dumped apple mail a while back for Thunderbird.
I will say it too me way longer to dump the default mac programs than it did for me to realize IE and Outlook were barely functional tools for 55 year old secretaries.

macs
One of the greatest success stories in marketing history.
Take an inferior product….use creative marketing to make it seem as if its hip…make money.
I never thought marketing could be successful in technology…since tech is more about capabilities than image….but Mac is a powerhouse. A powerhouse of crap…but a powerhouse nonetheless.

yes that seems to be working so well for you and flash....

we’ve been best buds since I told Firefox for mac to start in 32 bit mode, though apparently this means I’m like a tenth of a second slower

My computer works. It is also way cheaper than a comparably priced mac. Jus’ Sayin’

how can it be cheaper if it’s comparably priced? you mean it has comparable stats?

That too. I also don’t have to replace the whole thing if it breaks/gets outdated.

Good call
Weird how some things don’t work on one but work on the other.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Oh theres nothing weird about it
annoying, infuriating, frustrating yes. None of these browsers all follow the same gorram specifications. I have to flip back and forth between 3 different browsers all day long because of it.

Agreed
but the NL West is one division where you can go from pretty shitty to division in a season.
Doesn’t Haren have 2-3 years on his contract?

did the DBacks get anything useful in that trade?

how is Tyler Skaggs doing?

Corbin has a 3.5 fip in AA
Skags has a 2.95 fip in A+
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
Saunders as a 5th starter is useful
not what you want for Haren, but still useful
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
I would've sent over Webster/Miller, Trayvon, De Jesus (had some value then), fodder for Haren
And that would have been worth more than the “haul” they got from the Angels. Holy hell is Saunders a bad pitcher.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Scratch that
I’d have given up more, just not involving Rubby, Gordon, or Sands.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
When you factor in Saunders(200 innings a season) and the same division factor, that deal wouldn’t come close.
Skaggs is legit.
by NotJoeTorre on Jun 15, 2011 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions
What good is 200 innings if they are below average to average at best?
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"

by Tommy Blackjack on Jun 16, 2011 6:24 AM PDT up reply actions
Saunders was just a guy to sell the deal to the fans imho
and he is a servicable 5th starter who will eat up a lot of innings. For Haren though…
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
I think whoever pulled the trigger on that deal is not the GM anymore. Kevin Towers would never do that, so I assume it was someone else.

MLB Network has some commercial with the AJ/ Michael Barrett collision and fight.
I seriously forgot that happen..
