Kuroda Looks To Continue Winning Ways Against Padres

Hiroki Kuroda watches as the Padres score 50% of their runs against him in 22 2/3 innings this season.

With two games remaining in August, the Dodgers are 15-11, assured of their first winning month since June 2010 (counting October as part of September and March as part of April, of course). They send to the mound tonight Hiroki Kuroda to face the team he has had more wins against than any other, the San Diego Padres.

Kuroda began his MLB career with a win at Petco Park in San Diego on April 4, 2008. In 13 career starts against the Padres, Kuroda is 7-4 with a 3.49 ERA. Kuroda has four wins against Pittsburgh, and no more than three victories against everyone else.

This season, Kuroda has faced the Padres three times, and has allowed two runs.

Since the beginning of last September, Tim Stauffer, tonight's Padres' starter, has made five starts against the Dodgers and allowed seven total runs. In 29 total innings in those starts, Stauffer has a 1.86 ERA with 10 walks and 16 strikeouts. The Padres have won four of those five contests.

Lineups

Before tonight's game, the Padres recalled outfielder Blake Tekotte and optioned relief pitcher Erik Hamren to Triple A Tucson. The Padres were carrying 13 pitchers before this transaction.

Eaton and Weaver started against one another a whopping six times in 2004. Their first encounter was a Dodger 2-1 win in 11 innings, but the other five had this result:

On a related note, Andrew Miller has a 6-1 record since joining the Red Sox rotation. Of course, playing for the Red Sox must be great, since his line is 4.42 / 4.68 / 4.75 on the year.

would work better if you said putting the “Pro” back in prospect

I have tried for a long time, I can’t fit trust in there

Oh that is good, but that would have taken more then the nanosecond I put into making a comment

Strasburg's opponent

Lilly pitches tomorrow. Eveland or whomever goes Thursday. The rotation follows:

9/2: Bills
9/3: Eovaldi
9/4: Kershaw
9/5: Kuroda
9/6: Lilly?
9/7: Whomever
9/8: Bills
9/9: Kershaw

So Lilly would face Strasburg, no?

by Alex41592 on Aug 30, 2011 5:42 PM PDT reply actions  

Right that’s how I have it. I bumped Kershaw up.

by Alex41592 on Aug 30, 2011 5:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh yeah, you are right. I didn’t account for Eovaldi’s start when forecasting.

Prior to today

Bauer had pitched something like 150 IP (college and minors) and given up 26 ER.

by bhsportsguy on Aug 30, 2011 6:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

Never faced an offensive power like the Lookouts before either.

by Michael White on Aug 30, 2011 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Not many have, and lived to tell about it.

by Eric Stephen on Aug 30, 2011 6:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

12-1 now

Van Slyke just hit his 20th HR

by VegasBlues on Aug 30, 2011 6:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

so since the Lookouts are in the playoffs

he might not get called up right?

by Tommy Blackjack on Aug 30, 2011 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

Could get called up a bit later, no?

But yeah may depend on how long they remain in playoffs.

Sorry if I missed it but was there an explanation for Songco re the AFL?

Mistake?

I have the New York side of a couple porterhouses on me. Should I cook them bone in or no? If I do does it effect cook time at all?

Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant

Isn’t the New York side of a porterhouse just a New York strip?

Bone in will effect cooking time, but by how much I would consult with HJ or BH.

Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant

by regfairfield on Aug 30, 2011 6:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

It does but not that at matters a whole lot

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Heat saute pan with some grape seed or other neutral oil (olive oil has too low a smoke point). When pan is hot, put in steaks (which should be at room temp not just out of the fridge). Cook on both sides for about 3-4 minutes each.

Put pan in oven cook for 8-10 minutes. Steaks should be a nice medium rare. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve.

by bhsportsguy on Aug 30, 2011 6:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

Huh, never done grapeseed for steaks, gonna try that tonight. Thanks!

Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant

by regfairfield on Aug 30, 2011 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

So what is the effect of a low smoke point because I usually do ~30 seconds on the stove at max for a sear then two minutes a side in the oven at 550 at they turn out great.

Am I lucky I’m not dead?

Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant

by regfairfield on Aug 30, 2011 6:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

at that time

it probably isn’t going to matter.

But if you were frying something for longer period of time, the oil could break down once it reaches it smoke point.

Oh, I should have asked how thick the steaks are you are cooking, if you are cooking them that fast, they must be 1/2 inch or so.

by bhsportsguy on Aug 30, 2011 6:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah they’re pretty thin.

As I just tweeted

Carlos Santana and Russell Martin have hit 38 home runs this year. Fortunately Dioner Navarro exceeded all expectations and hit five

Get him a snickers, he gets cranky when he is hungry. (Or the cooking times on a steak.)

by Grimjack on Aug 30, 2011 6:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

It’s okay, he’s a bust because he hit .190 in April.

by Chad Moriyama on Aug 30, 2011 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

He’s actually gotten BABIP’ed badly this year.
He’s really had a great season with the bat if you look at peripherals.
