Los Angeles Dodgers Weekly Recap: Stuck In The Middle With You

The Los Angeles Dodgers this week saw the best team in the National League, if not in all of baseball, and also saw the worst, and not surprisingly ended up somewhere in between both extremes. The Philadelphia Phillies, who ended the week with an MLB-best 78 wins, swept their way through Dodger Stadium, though their three wins came by a total of four runs. The Dodgers then took out their frustrations with a weekend sweep of the Houston Astros, who ended the week with 83 losses, the most in baseball.
Week number 20 saw the major league debut of Justin Sellers. The 25-year old Huntington Beach native was promoted when Dee Gordon was placed on the disabled list, and Sellers started all three games against Houston over the weekend. Sellers collected his first major league hit on Saturday and his first major league home run on Sunday.
Dodger Batter of the Week: There were many candidates this week as the offense had three games of six runs or more. Matt Kemp hit two home runs, stole three bases, and had a walk-off hit, but his 1.061 OPS ranked fourth on the team for the week. This week's award is split between the two men who share first base duties, Juan Rivera and James Loney. Rivera hit .429/.467/.786, including a three-run home run against the Phillies and a triple to leadoff the ninth inning Friday night against Houston. Loney hit .500/.625/.583 for the week, including a double and four walks.
Honorable mention goes to Dioner Navarro who had two hits for the week, both for extra bases, and four walks in his three starts at catcher.
Dodger Pitcher of the Week: The pitching staff was solid again this week. Nathan Eovaldi threw six shutout innings in his second big league start, Clayton Kershaw struck out nine in a strong eight-inning outing, and Ted Lilly went eight innings for the first time this season. Of those three, Lilly gets the most credit since he faced a major league lineup, but he also allowed a home run to a pitcher. This award goes to Hiroki Kuroda, who was 1-1 with a 2.03 ERA, benefiting by being the only pitcher to make two starts during the week.
Matt Guerrier deserves honorable mention for retiring 10 of the 11 batters he faced, including five by strikeout.
Week 20 Record: 3-3
26 runs scored (4.33 per game)
17 runs allowed (2.83 per game)
.685 pythagorean winning percentage
Season Record: 55-64
441 runs scored (3.71 per game)
468 runs allowed (3.93 per game)
.473 pythagorean winning percentage (56-63)
Transactions:
- Friday: The Dodgers placed shortstop Dee Gordon on the disabled list with a right shoulder contusion, retroactive to August 10. To take Gordon's place, the Dodgers purchased the contract of infielder Justin Sellers, who started all three games at shortstop since he came up.
The Dodgers now have 40 players on their 40-man roster.
Game Results:
- Monday: Phillies 5, Dodgers 3
- Tuesday: Phillies 2, Dodgers 1
- Wednesday: Phillies 9, Dodgers 8
- Friday: Dodgers 1, Astros 0 (10)
- Saturday: Dodgers 6, Astros 1
- Sunday: Dodgers 7, Astros 0
Upcoming Week: No rest for the weary, as the Dodgers begin a 10-game road trip, running the Jeff Cirillo gauntlet. The Dodgers play four games in Milwaukee before heading to Coors Field to battle the Rockies.

Dodgers undefeated with a Sellers lineup

Navarro with a .811 OPS in the 2nd half, double the home runs of Andre

I wonder what the odds are of a Sellers / Gordon DP combo in 2012?

I see no reason not to.

it would be some mix of uribe carrol gordon sellers miles
at 3rd/2nd/ss. It won’t be great but their defense would be good?
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.
That group would satisfy me for the middle infield. But if you’re including 3rd base, I would say the 2012 Dodgers are sunk.
3rd baseman suck as much as SS and 2nd base in 2011
we need to focus more on 1b and LF
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.
What is Sellers future with the team since Gordan is the starting SS? Would they move him to 2nd? Or is a trade in his future?

One of those two players has to prove that they are legitimate starters in MLB first.

i would guess Gordon would get a lot more rope
than Sellers.
Since Carroll is getting older, and Miles is outperforming himself, Sellers could be up for a bench role

Based on the performance of Sellers I can see why Ned wouldn’t want to many promotions in Sept. Heck they might hit the ball and embarrass the smurph squad.

Gordon can hit home runs, though.

Will Kemp get 40/40 this year?
I say he will.
playing 7 games
at two of the best hitter parks in the NL, if not all of baseball. He’ll get some homeruns. Let’s see how much he runs.

A rare thing
Only Soriano has done it in the last 12 seasons. A-Rod and Barry Bonds Had 40/40 years in 1998 and 1996.
Don't look now
But Pujols is hitting .287…I think he could end the year at .310 and i wouldn’t be at all surprised.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
At the end of the season ;)
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
I'm excited to see what his numbers will look like updated tomorrow and Fangraphs, as well as Kemp's
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
He would have to hit
Over .370 for the rest of the year, he has only hit over that for one month 3 times in the last 6 years. He did hit .379 last August but then he hit .293 in September. Pujols has hit over .300 in just 3 months in the last two seasons.
He's hitting .288 now
I know he will get to .300, but I think he’s good enough to get to .310. It may not, or probably will not happen, but if it did I would be the least surprised.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Besides Pujols who do you think has grounded into the most double plays this year? The two have hit into 25 a piece.
Kemp?
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Nope, its A-Gon. He of the major league leading .352 BA. I guess it makes since because he puts the ball in play at a high rate and he’s not all that fast.
is that really his “nickname”?
if so, it is very lame

a HR away from the cycle!
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Looking at the free agent market for 2nd basemen, pretty darn mediocre. If Uribe bounces back to his career norms, he would be about the same as Omar Infante/Adam Kennedy/Clint Barmes. Bringing back Jamey Carroll to start would be the only move worth making.
Eff no… Sadly I’ve kinda come to accept it.

I honestly expect him to bounce back
he is having what is his career worst season. His glove still plays, and I guess I don’t think he is just too old to hit. I think he’ll have like 1 war next year

He’s at 0.4 this year with a terrible bat and missing significant time to injury. 1.0 seems quite doable.

0.0 at B-ref
but his glove plays, and I think he bounces back to around a 70 OPS+.

I think Ned puts all of his available funds on Kuroda. Expect no other signings of note (not counting NRIs).
If you only sign Kuroda the Dodgers have no shot. Money spent on Kuroda is just wasting it.

The kids who pitch are the only prospects that are actually good. If you’re going to gamble with prospects, do it with them (IMO)
by Michael White on Aug 14, 2011 9:21 PM PDT up reply actions
I’m fully on board with giving Eo the 5th spot next year. But relying on two kids to give you 150+ innings is a huge risk.
Risking what?
Signing Kuroda and nobody else would mean the team would suck anyway.
Unless you are talking about risking they get hurt, but why would that be more of a risk in MLB than MiLB?

Unless you are talking about risking they get hurt, but why would that be more of a risk in MLB than MiLB?
Take a guy like Withrow: He’d certainly throw more pitches in MLB than the minors. They also can’t stagger off days like they do in the minors for innings limits/scheduled rest. The MLB season is also a month longer.
Start with NRIs, then you call up Withrow, Webster, or whoever when they’re ready. You save a cool $10MM that way.
by Michael White on Aug 14, 2011 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions
That plan gets you John Ely starting for the majority of the season as Ted Lilly goes on the DL for pitching in the sun.
Maybe, maybe not
But you spend the $10MM to upgrade one of the half dozen holes in the lineup. And maybe you get lucky with one of the pitchers and you don’t end up with John Ely.
by Michael White on Aug 14, 2011 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions
That's fine with me
Just didn’t know how you would fill in the gaps at first when the kids won’t be ready.
Still think Ned gets Kuroda regardless.
Okay. In that case, I still don’t get the point.

Dodgers are going to be bad in 2012 whether kuroda’s on the team or not…unless they do get Fielder or Pujols – probably aint happening
With ned this leads to
Juan Uribe 3 years 21 million dollars

That sounds like you just combined 3 words together knowing that nobody here would know if it’s true or not.
which mean it must be a real soccer team

West Ham is a neighborhood in London, dude. And West Ham United play int he championship with is the second tier of football in England. And at the open bar in Vegas they only had lager, and that was rubbish

Just to increase the 3rd base depth, I’ve been fiddling in my head with the idea of bringing Andy LaRouche back into the blue ala Dioner Navarro.

I decided to look up the results since you mentioned this.
I see that there was a match that had HHH and Kevin Nash involved in it. I see I haven’t missed much in the last 10 years.
Kevin Nash?
I thought he was in TNA……or retired

The Tony Jax piece on Sellers is quite nice btw.
Sounds like he may have had some attitude issues in the past (or not, who knows), but definitely has matured and could still get better, too.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I know Dave Cameron is doing well
So I just want to say since April 30th, only 3 teams have played worst than Colorado.
Don’t know if I shared this but Cranston can play baseball

this show is my hero
calling it quits after 5 instead of going for 10 seasons? Brilliant! And I’ve never watched it!

Justin Sellers is our future
And it’s not a very good one… Hopefully he’ll prove me wrong…
And Ted Lilly at Coors… That’s bound to be ugly…
The more you drink, the less gruesome I look.

The
Hotel in question is the Pfister Hotel. Now, back in 2009, it was reported that the Dodgers no longer stayed there. But if you Google Pfister, haunted and baseball, you will find numerous stories about players being scared to stay there.

I'm sure he knows the difference, he's used it properly before. Was probably just a tired tweet late at night after traveling.

they tricked Kenley Jansen
at that hotel. He ended up sleeping in Kuo’s room.

Stadium Bursts Out Laughing After Jamie Moyer Pitch
PHILADELPHIA—A subpar season during which Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer has amassed a five-plus ERA and been demoted to the bullpen got worse Sunday after the 46-year-old veteran uncorked a 73-mph fastball, eliciting spontaneous laughter and giggles from each of the 43,489 fans at Citizens Bank Park. “I thought it was the most hilarious joke, but then I saw the look on his face and I realized he was serious,” said attendee Matthew King, who added that he was barely able to keep a straight face for the rest of the game. “When the pitch speed didn’t even register on the scoreboard, beer literally shot out my nose. My entire section was doubled over. Even the batter [Mark Reynolds] was just crying laughing.” Immediately following the pitch, a tearful Moyer sprinted off the field and yelled at manager Charlie Manuel, saying that it was Manuel’s fault that he was on the mound in the first place.

For anyone who watch Entourage...
I had a double take tonight when watching tonight’s episode.
There was a scene at the sheriff’s office where someone who looks like Jamie McCourt is being escorted in handcuffs. I still can’t get a good look even after pausing, but I was convinced it was her initially…anyone who watches should take a gander
I saw that
But I don’t really have a good idea of what she looks like so I’m no help. I’m glad I commented, lol
