Daniel Hudson Does It All To Beat Dodgers

by Eric Stephen on Jul 17, 2011 3:45 PM PDT in Dodgers Game Recaps

Daniel Hudson single-handedly beat the Dodgers today.

Daniel Hudson beat the Dodgers in just about every way possible, sending the Dodgers to a 4-1 loss to the Diamondbacks in the series finale at Chase Field. Not only did he pitch a complete game, but he also homered and delivered a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to put the game away.

Ted Lilly at times today looked better than he had all season. He allowed two solo home runs through six innings, but also walked none and struck out a season-high nine. But after a Chris Young leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh, a pair of runner-advancing outs by Arizona were each followed by an intentional walk, loading the bases for Hudson.

Hudson came into the game with four hits in six at-bats with the bases loaded, and his numbers went up after singling in the hole between shortstop and third base off reliever Blake Hawksworth, plating two runs.

The Dodgers' lone run today scored on a wild pitch.

Notes

Lilly on the season has allowed 21 home runs and 21 stolen bases. He is the first Dodger to allow 20 homers and 20 steals since Jeff Weaver in 2005, and this is the 20th 20/20 season in Dodgers history.
The last pitcher to hit a home run against the Dodgers was Bronson Arroyo, who took John Ely deep on June 17, 2010 in Cincinnati. Arroyo was also the last pitcher to collect three RBI against the Dodgers.
James Loney snapped an 0-for-15 skid with a seventh-inning single. The line drive was nearly caught by Stephen Drew, and with Matt Kemp running would have meant an easy double play, but the Dodgers caught a break and later cashed in a run that inning.
Andre Ethier was 0-for-12 in the series.
Justin Upton was 0-for-11 in the series.
The Dodgers head to San Francisco tonight, and open a three-game series with the Giants Monday night. Chad Billingsley faces Ryan Vogelsong in the opener.

WP - Daniel Hudson (10-5): 9 IP, 5 hits, 1 run, 3 strikeouts

LP - Ted Lilly (6-10): 6 2/3 IP, 4 hits, 4 runs, 2 (intentional) walks, 9 strikeouts

People rooting for Dodgers to lose so that Ned doesn't make pointless "buy" trades may soon feel relief I suspect.

Oh well.

If anyone’s going to game tomorrow in SF let me know, so my dad and I (and JL and her fiancee) have protection from chablis-drunk Giants fans.

I've heard of such people

(Not saying TBLA-ers btw, just in general on twittosphere, people fearing Ned will trade prospects in desperation move for help in lost season. Given some of Ned’s track record I do understand it a bit.)

And yes I know people can say they would rather them lose then… x or y, but when it comes down to it they can’t find it in the hearts to do so anyway. We all are pretty much in agreement when it comes to what camino says above, we just want to move onwards, have resolution, have hope for future…

Yes

Obviously, though, I would not be against a trade for the future if he can get really good value for a veteran. Don’t want to trade Hiro for no reason, for no good return. But if he brings a good return… won’t argue. But otherwise, yeah, rather not to do anything, and maybe do some minor tweaks here and there to give more minor leaguers a look for rest of season.

Agree completely

Improve the club’s prospects going forward. That’s it. Hell, that could mean trading for a great player if it made sense. I don’t think there should be any hard buy/sell edict. Just do what’s best under the assumption that this team is not making a playoff run this year, so any move that would make the club better in 2011 but wouldn’t help in 2012 or would make them worse in 2012 probably isn’t wise.

They seem like a good fit with Betancourt and McGehee struggling. I’d love to buy low and get McGehee from them. He is under contract for a few more years, is young, a California kid, and has put up good numbers in the past.

Today's Game tomorrow in SF

Today was an example of what I seem to see of the Dodgers all year and what the Giants are able to do. Pads as Joey Joe points out just bunts into a double play. Dodgers would have struck out.

In today’s game bases loaded two outs they ned the big hit and they can’t get it. D’Backs in similar situation get the key hit by Hudson…..Wilson has now walked three in this inning.

by wineracquet on Jul 17, 2011 4:51 PM PDT reply actions

just read on previous thread

about the Gammons report on Hiro not wanting to go east. Very disappointing, I hope it’s just posturing to get more leverage (money for him/better return for LAD). I understand he’s earned the right, it just sucks in such a bad year — devoid of good news and trade chips going down or sucking — that the one good trade piece can’t fucking use a phone to talk to his family for 3 months, tops.

Do the D-backs really need SP? Enough to trade someone good to a division rival? I doubt it.
