Dodgers Turn to Eovaldi To End 4 Game Losing Streak

After showing a bit of life against the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers got crushed in 3 straight games at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, running the club's losing streak to 4 games. Fortunately, the Dodgers get a chance to get back on the winning track this evening by starting a 3 game set against the worst club in baseball. Rookie pitcher Nathan Eovaldi gets his second start for the Dodgers and his first start at Dodger Stadium. Eovaldi was brilliant in his big league debut last Saturday in Arizona (the last time the Dodgers won a game) striking out 7 batters and only allowing 4 hits on his way to recording his first major league win.
The Astros come to Chavez Ravine in a bit of losing stretch as well. The Astros have lost 3 in a row and 6 of their last 7. Houston also posts the worst record in MLB, an ugly 38-80 mark. Facing off against Nathan Eovaldi will be 26 year old right hander Bud Norris. As mentioned in the series preview, Norris has put up respectable numbers on the year with a line of 3.73 / 3.86 / 3.58 in 140 innings pitched.
Notes:
- In addition to Eovaldi making his Dodger Stadium debut, filling in for the injured Dee Gordon is Justin Sellers who is making his major league debut. The 25 year old shortstop had a .398 wOBA in AAA Albuquerque.
- Eovaldi will be looking to start his
DodgerMLB career 2-0 solely as a Dodger starter. The last Dodger pitcher to do that was Kazuhisa Ishii in 2002. - The Dodgers officially agreed to terms with first round pick Chris Reed, the 21 year old relief pitcher from Stanford.
- While injuries have forced the Dodgers into a youth movement of sorts, the Astros appear to be all-in on a youth movement as well. Currently, the Astros have 12 rookies on the 25 man roster.

Does Justin Sellers technically count as a prospect?
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.
from the Prospect Countdown in Feb
48. Justin Sellers, SS (90 games in AAA, 24 games in HiA in 2010)
Acquired via trade with Cubs in April 2009
5’10", 160 lbs, 25 years old, bats right handed
.279 average, .815 OPS, 14 HR’s, 68 RBI’s, 7 SB’s
Pre 2010 Rank: 75; Pre 2009 Rank: N/A
Originally selected by Oakland in the 6th round of the 2005 draft, Justin Sellers was traded to the Cubs in February of 2009 for Michael Wuertz. He was then traded to the Dodgers for an undisclosed amount of cash. Sellers ended up hitting a solid .280 for the Lookouts in 2009, but didn’t show any power as he had just two homers. He was then demoted to HiA for the beginning of the 2010 season, and only hit .260 for the 66ers in 24 games. Nevertheless, when Chin-lung Hu got injured Sellers was the one to replace him at shortstop in AAA and that is where the magic began. Despite coming into the 2010 season with just 17 career homers in 5 minor leagues seasons, Sellers managed to slug 14 jacks with the Isotopes and posted a .867 OPS. In addition, he hit .285 and walked nearly as much as he struck out. Like many other Albuquerque players Justin was aided by the hitter friendly home ballpark, but even still he had a very impressive season. When you look a little deeper into his background, however, you’ll realize that Sellers big season wasn’t as big of a surprise as first thought. Sellers was named by Baseball America as currently having the best strike zone discipline in the Dodgers organization, and was in their top 30 from 2006 through 2008, peaking at #9 in the 2006 version of the book. He is also the son of former big league pitcher Jeff Sellers, so he has the great bloodlines. In addition, before he was drafted some scouts thought that Sellers would have been a late first round pick if he had been just a few inches taller. Always known for his strong defense up the middle, Justin’s bat was what was keeping him from the big leagues. Now that he’s shown he can hit advanced pitching, the Dodgers seem to have placed more confidence in Sellers heading into 2011. Not only did the Dodgers trade Hu, but they also invited Justin to big league spring training. Since Dee Gordon isn’t quite ready to play in the big leagues, my guess would be that Sellers would be next in line for the Dodgers shortstop position in 2011 should injuries hit the big league club. I still don’t think Sellers has a very high ceiling nor do I believe he’ll ever be the Dodgers starting shortstop for a long period of time, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually gets added to the 40 man roster and fills the Chin-lung Hu role for a season or two.
Why #48: I expect Sellers to make it to the big leagues one day as a backup infielder, but that is really his ceiling as he has limited upside at the big league level. He could be the Dodgers next Chin-Lung Hu.

Don’t worry, Phil already jinxed it: “Just like the Dodgers, none of their catchers are anyone of note so we will not make any notes about them.”
I fully expect a 3-run bomb that clears the bullpen or something from some catcher I’ve never heard of. Two words: Cody Ransom.

The Dodgers outhit the Phillies.
OK 31 hits to 28 hits. LA’s OBP was higher too, by .023, but the slugging was .057 lower.
Dodgers TSL was .292 / .345 / .377 / .722 while the Phillies was .264 / .322 / .434 / .756

San Francisco recently had an anti-circumcision initiative up for ballot. To help promote it, this one guy made a comic that went wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy passed the line to racism.
I’m Jewish, wife’s Jewish, kids are Jewish. But I’m glad we had girls, which took the whole question of to-cut-or-not-to-cut off the table.

I saw Social Network a couple weeks ago…and was thinking how much money could have been made if i’d only been good at computer programming.
But then i realized Visual Basic kicked my ass and i could never ever write computer code. It was probably the least favorite class i ever took in college..CS105.
and that dude took that skill and made $1billion dollars
and uh
vision. He was by far not the first one on the scene with a social media application, his was not just well marketed, but was far superior to his main competitor in myspace.
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.
there were other sites with the same concept tho
not just myspace…there was a site called thedilly, xanga, and his original facemash site was a rip off of hotornot, ratemyface, ratemybody…
to me he had the same idea as bunch of other people but his code made it much simpler and more popular.
thats what I just said

kind of like
being really good at baseball

the whole time
while watching the social network i kept saying “MANNNN I WAS JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM ALL THIS” hahahah. that says something about how big of a deal facebook is currently.
The trailer looked like it may be a workable movie after all. Two underfunded dudes, one a complete outside, buck the establishment and find (some) success in their unlikely innovations.

i gotta ask
since i wasn’t really paying attention to baseball as a whole at that time as much as now, was what the A’s were doing at that time really that controversial?

Controversial, I don't know
Revolutionary, probably. They were challenging all kinds of previously sacred baseball conventions. And they had the power to do so. They openly acknowledged their debt to Bill James, et al.
To me, the most controversial part is, “Was it a success?”
cue the obligatory ethier joke

Dan Uggla’s hitting streak is up to 32 thanks to a home run against Zambrano in the 2nd inning. Longest hitting streak in Braves history.
If y’all don’t want hair like Joe Mauer you need to get your priorities straight.

i just realized we still have the "Hats Off" twitter thing
maybe they should change it to “Tops Off”?

The fact that
Dr. Charles Steinberg is listed alphabetically (using Dr.) on a schedule in a Dodger bankruptcy filing reminds of the scene in the great Bob Newhart Show episode.
5 home runs

If I was so inclined to put some analysis into the Giant's season
I would say that they are extremely fortunate to be even within a game of the Diamondbacks and the last time a team was so extreme in hitting and pitching (MLB wide) was the 2003 Dodgers.
as bad as the 2003 Dodger offensewas..
David Ross was rather awesome that season.
258/336/556…hit 10 homers in 124 abs (only 40 games).
An argument could be made that Ross carved out a niche as the best backup catcher in baseball. He’s been really good most of the time.
David Ross screwed David Ross.
Every time someone’s given him the ball he’s dropped it.

i remember
Spring Training 2005, watching David Ross blasting homers out of the park during BP.
and then the game went 10 innings and ended in a 0-0 tie. Against the O’s.
The year David Ross went 0 for spring training and changed Dodger history.

James Baldwin
Just homered – his 8th this season in 125 AB. It’s nice to see him developing this power!
