Dee & Rubby Start, Kemp Finishes Dodger Win

PrintOne first major league start went about as well as possible, and the other one had a rocky beginning but finished with a flourish, as Dee & Rubby led the Dodgers to a 6-2 win over the Phillies Tuesday night.
After two innings, tonight did not look like it would end well for Rubby De La Rosa and the Dodgers. De La Rosa's first major league start began on the wild side, as he walked five in the first two innings. De La Rosa threw 47 pitches, an astonishing 28 of them outside the strike zone. However, he somehow escaped allowing just one run, and the game was 1-1 after two innings.
The top of the third inning began, almost fittingly, with a leadoff walk by De La Rosa. He became the second Dodger pitcher this season to walk in his first major league plate appearance, joining Javy Guerra, who turned the trick on Saturday. Dee Gordon followed with with his second hit of the game, a single to right field, and De La Rosa hustled and made it all the way to third base. A Casey Blake single scored one run, then Roy Oswalt for some reason decided to try to try to pick off the noted speedster Blake, only Ryan Howard wasn't at first base. The errant throw scored Gordon, and Blake was brought home on an RBI single by Andre Ethier that made the score 4-1.
De La Rosa struck out two batters in the bottom of the third inning, but also allowed three singles. Luckily for him, the third single was hit right to Ethier, who threw a strike to Dioner Navarro at home plate to nail Raul Ibanez. It was Ethier's sixth outfield assist, and the 18th for the Dodgers this season, tying them with the Royals for the major league lead. De La Rosa settled down after that, and retired his final six batters in the fourth and fifth innings to qualify for the win. Over his final three innings, De La Rosa threw 28 of his 49 pitches for strikes, a vast improvement from the start of the game.
Gordon had himself quite a starting debut, collecting hits in each of his first three at-bats. As mentioned during the KCAL broadcast, the last Dodger to do that was Mike Piazza in 1992. Gordon ended his night 3-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored. Since 1919, the only two Dodgers to have three hits and a steal in their first major league start are Gordon and Jose Offerman, who did so on August 19, 1990.
Matt Kemp put the game away with a towering two-run home run to right field in the eighth inning, his fourth home run on the road trip, which has now reached five games. Kemp is now tied with Jay Bruce for the National League lead in home runs with 17, and has sole possession of the NL lead in RBI, with 50. Kemp also doubled, and is now hitting a robust .320/.401/.596.
Notes
- Both Hong-Chih Kuo (with Rancho Cucamonga) and Kenley Jansen (with Chattanooga) will begin rehab assignments on Thursday. Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times has the details.
- Tony Gwynn, Jr., who collected a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning, has four hits in five at-bats in June after a 2-for-30 May
- Scott Elbert pitched his longest outing of the season, getting four outs in the seventh and eighth. Elbert is unscored upon in 7 2/3 innings this season, with eight strikeouts and seven baserunners allowed.
- Hiroki Kuroda goes for the series win on Wednesday night, facing Cole Hamels.
WP - Rubby De La Rosa (2-0): 5 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 5 walks, 4 strikeouts
LP - Roy Oswalt (3-4): 6 IP, 8 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, 1 strikeout

Dee Gordon - LH hitting SS
The list of players since 1947 who played SS at least 1/3 time, batted strictly LH and had over 1000 PA is pretty short:

May Dee Gordon have a better career than all of them.

The first run I tried didn't have a PA floor
I had forgotten that Oscar Robles was strictly a LH hitter.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
If I don't use a PA limit at all, and go all the way back to 1876
The Dodgers have had five strictly LH hitting SS ever, playing SS at least 1/3 time:
Robles,
Cora,
Lonny Frey (1933-1936)
Ray Mowe (5 games in ’13)
Monte Ward (1891-1892)

I can't remember
Didn’t our resident Dodger rat say Eovaldi was tag-teaming with someone, or am I mixing that up?
Or perhaps this was just a planned shortened outing.
Maybe the deleted FanPost meant Eovaldi, not E.Martin.
I’m guessing this is one of those planned innings regulation things. Make a relief appearance on a normal start day.

some notes from the game.
as always – f the phillies
dee gordon has a 1000 megawatt smille – makes me excited to watch him play. that speed will put a lot of pressure on opposing catchers, should he get on.
rubby – filthy stuff.
guerra – making the high priced relief man expendable.
kcal commentators – please stfu. it’s rubby’s 1st start, quit saying he should throw 100+ pitches when he’s just breaking in.
Yeah a lot of people here rightly ranted about Lyons arguing for Rubby continuing
I guarantee he had completely neglected to look at pitch count or was unaware of the importance of it, which seems ludicrous.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
After someone slipped him a note saying, "Hello? STFU!" ?

Fans were fine and did not get any abuse…..wore my LAD cap and tshirit, unllke game 5 of 2009 NLCS….WOW. I got abiused from the time I got out of my car to the time I got back in my car. Tough fans in Philly….but I think the playoff atmosphere had alot to do with that. Never had a problem wearing the blue for a regular season game
interesting stat is that the attendance at last nights game was the 2nd largest ever at CBP for a regular season game.

I heard about the 2nd highest attendance…i was sitting behind 3rd base dugout all the way up two rows in front of the concourse, section 130 i thin..
I had a white Kershaw jersey and blue LA hat..were it backwards.
Like you I didn’t have any problems. Only people who said anything were the people working there and it was just joking in good humor.
What kinda stuff happened to you in game 5?
by Dodgerblue8188 on Jun 7, 2011 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions
game 5
the verbal abuse was absolutely relentless. I was with my wife who is a Phillies fan, and i wore my jersey and hat, and it was really non-stop. The 4 letter words flying my way was unbeleivable. I am not exaggerating when I say it was from the time I stepped out of my car to when I got back in.
Nothing physical at all or even close. I was giving it back at times, but the wife was none too happy when I did. Sorry, but I am not going to take that abuse without saying my peace. Not worth it.
I sat in the middle of a row, and when I got up to use the bathroom or get a beer, one guy at the end of the row was talking shit, and I was giving it back. He was saying I should sit down and to stop getting up. Ridiculous.
Wish I could remember more….but it more the volume than the content, of which was plenty of the 4 letter word variety, and questioning my manhood, if you know what I mean.

There's news on Ronald Belisario.
Confieso que sentí tristeza al ver a Ronald Belisario buscando trabajo en la Liga Central Independiente de Beisbol. El aragüeño podría estar ganando más de medio millón de dólares como relevista de los Dodgers de los Ángeles, pero prefirió quedarse en Venezuela.
Google Translated
I confess that I was sad to see Ronald Belisario looking for work in the independent Central Baseball League. The Aragua could be earning more than half a million dollars in relief for Los Angeles Dodgers, but chose to stay in Venezuela.
She told Ruben Mijares, Braves general manager of Margarita and who dealt with the closer last season ball in Venezuela, Belisario once attended to his appointment with the U.S. embassy but missed the following commitments binding obtain a visa. So the visa was canceled and can not enter the land of Uncle Sam, where they waited for the Dodgers.
While giving the impression that their future depends on third parties because there are things you can not control (such as the decision of the embassy), it is not. Belisario, like the rest of the people, still has the ability to create your own destiny. You can still decide what to do in his life: hunger feast.
Heh. I assume "hunger feast" means feast or famine...

More excerpts:
The ninth of Los Angeles does not end the release of Aragua of the fastball of 95 mph sinker and murderer who was unhittable during the final tournament of Liprobeisbol. Pero sin entrenamiento disciplinado, sin una rutina de trabajo y el paso de los años que no dejan de castigar al cuerpo, las condiciones de Belisario irán mermando. But without a disciplined training, without a routine of work and over the years that continue to punish the body, Belisario conditions will be shrinking.
Belisario, like the rest of the people, still has the ability to create your own destiny. Todavía puede decidir qué quiere hacer de su vida: hambre o festín. You can still decide what to do in his life: hunger feast.

that google translate refused to translate the word “o” as “or”. That last part should be “hunger or feast”.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
So I think the synopsis is
Belisario completely fucked up. It’s all on him.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Another article has a recent photo of Belisario.
http://bravosdemargarita.com/scripts/home/det_notc.php?codnotc=1840
Remains optimistic
Although the picture looks dark for Aragua, whose return to MLB is uncertain, it keeps the faith and believes he can return to the Dodgers this event. "God willing, will soon solve my problems, maybe in a month. I want to start pitching in this league (Licibeis) for the Dodgers to see I’m in tune and expedite the visa, "he said. "Last year (the embassy) put me on a waiting list. I still have not told me anything. "Cree does not need professional help
Despite the various problems it has confronted, Ronald Belisario not think you need medical help to overcome the situation, it is considered to be strong mentally.“I do not need medical help,” he said bluntly reliever. "My family supported me a lot. I was recommended to continue to focus and ‘pa’ lante "because things are going to solve. I am strong-minded. I know many players who have gone through similar situations and have recovered. Why could not I as well. "
Belisario still form the Dodgers, so he can not play on tracks such as Mexico and Japan.
I wonder if Roberto Baly
has a translation of this article up yet.

3. Kemp continuing to do MVP work
4. Everyteam in the West lost that we care about
5. Elbert is looking Kuo like
6. Javy is looking like he’s not going anywhere

The Giants haven't lost yet
The bullpen usage was intriguing tonight. Guerrier in the 7th.

Oops
thought that was a final. For some reason it feels like midnight instead of 09:30

Just curious in the game thread if Joey Joe was given his due for calling at least 90 pitches and not being swayed even though every other member on TBLA late night said he was basically nuts?

No, but he was right, and he stuck to his guns. TBLA really needs to step away from the gang thought given how often the group thought has been wrong this year.

You're getting
personal in your comments? It’s a slippery slope from here Joey. :-)
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
gang thought?
I don’t think there are many managers in the last 10 years of the major leagues who would have done what Donnie did tonight with rubby.
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.
He was, and he also claimed his own due.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
thing is i dont see them as outrageous
and i’m surprised other than maybe Table there arent more here that think similarly to the way I do.
This is for you!

Predicting he would throw 90 pitches wasn’t nearly as dumbing as actually letting him do it.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Isn’t texting better then talking? How is texting bothering anyone if you are watching the movie and not what people are doing?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Agreed
the phones lighting up in my field of view catch my eye.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I loved that the Drafthouse did that
and yeah I loathe texting in movie theaters (not to mention people checking email and tweeting and whatnot). A lot of phones can be quite bright and if it’s anywhere in your sightline it’s incredible annoying. I have cleared my throat at people a few times lately and they had this “Wait,; I have to finish this email!” look back at me. If you have to send an email, you should be at the office, not in front of me in a movie theater. /end

I’ve never had this problem. I guess AARP movies have benefits:)

Hah hah
When I’ve gone to screenings dominated by old folks (older than you bub) the only issue has been when one member of a couple is hard of hearing and keeps leaning over to ask the other one “WHAT’D HE SAY?” in a yell-whisper.

Speaking of AARP movies
saw Midnight in Paris this w/e at the AMC near you. It was a bit light, but pretty good over all. Never occurred to me that Owen Wilson could play the angsty lead in a Woody film, be he was pretty good. Marion Cotillard was beautiful.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Has its moments, not uproariously funny. Depends how much you like references to historical figures. I got my $6 / ticket’s worth.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
It was a face-palm moment when my wife said that she could see him in the Woody part – it just never occurred to me that there were some similarities to those kind of Owen Wilson roles and the leads in Woody Allen films.
BTW, Marion Cotillard is beautiful.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
recent hilarious owen wilson film..
Hall Pass.
I had low expectations going into it, but turned out to be a fucking riot.
They have an interesting
concept. I’d think it might work out here.
The Alamo Drafthouse is dinner, drinks, movies and events, all under one roof.
We also take the same care with all of our food and drink offerings, and at every Alamo location you can find a strong core of casual dining options to accompany your movie as well as menu specials updated at least every three months. Cold beer and fine wines are on the menu at every location, with an emphasis on highlighting local breweries whenever possible. Select Alamo locations feature a full bar with liquor where we theme specialty cocktails around the movies of the day.
Enjoy a break from our “no talking” policy by yelling out your favorite lines at one of our Quote-Along events. Pull out your cell phone and openly mock the movie you’re watching with texts that show up on the screen at HeckleVision.

My wife thinks Elvira started the whole thing

I don't remember
if that Seymour guy that preceded Elvira bagged on the flicks or not.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
so how does Elvira still look like Elvira?

So was everyone calling Lyons an idiot for wanting Rubby to come out for the 6th? I know I was.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Lyons just doesn’t give a rat’s ass about pitch counts. He is even okay with throwing them away for Little Leaguers.
Yes, big time.

Wow,
I missed the Dee and Rubby show. I HATE SUMMER SEMESTER!

For a season in which it appears lost, we sure have had our share of dramatic games already.
Dee Gordon
Bloops single to left
Ground single to right
Infield single
K
Almost beat out ground ball to 3rd base.
Stolen base makes you wonder how he ever got caught so much in 2010. Pitch outs?
As with any blue when I see them beat out infield hits, I wonder how they can ever have slumps since they never have to square up to get hits, Yet they do.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Still 2-1 Nats
with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th in SF.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Holy crap
I think I’m going to meet Dusty Baker before the game on the 14th…I have 0 idea how to act.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
give him a toothpick and ask him to sign your Russ Ortiz baseball

I want to ask him when the last time he talked to Mark Prior was.

I was just about to go with a Prior joke. Beat me to it there.

Ask him how it feels to hit a grand slam and beat the Phillies in the NLCS. We need to get that feeling back.

Good
I was bummed out when I woke up this morning and saw they’d won that marathon game last night after Nats fumbled it away. (And the stupid dangerous bullpens ate up Jayson Werth.) Things change in a hurry, now I’m in a good mood about baseball again! At least for a few hours!

Six pitch save for Drew Storen
Three ground outs. Giants suck.

After the game I got the idea that Dee was none to happy that everyone was patting him on the head like a puppy
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Aren't you dying
to stand next to him in the dugout so you can size him up? (I didn’t see him at ST)
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I did.
When I was a guest bat boy in spring training. We were next to each other in the dugout at Camelback. He is rail thin but the 5’11" that he is listed at is accurate.
Funny that the team was patting him on the head. Before the spring game, he was patting me on the helmet, as he said, for good luck. Real good energy and good attitude in the dugout.
To be treated like a man instead of a manchild, will hitting a homer be like losing virginity?
In which case it could be awhile before he becomes a man. :)
