Post-Game 82 Thread: How To Blow A Five-Run Lead, And Still Barely Win

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 05, 2009
DODGERS PETCO Park is the pitcher-friendliest park in the majors, yet that didn't stop the Dodgers from hitting three home runs today: Andre Ethier in the second. Casey Blake in the third. Chad Billingsley (!) in the fifth (shown: his double in the third inning). Newly minted All-Star Billingsley's final line: 8.0 IP, 4H, 3 ER, 5K, 97 pitches; at the plate: double...

Game 82 Thread: July 5 @ Padres, 1p

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 05, 2009
Chad Billingsley (9-4, 3.12) vs. Josh Banks (1-0, 3.38). COMMENTS: Joe Torre acknowledges Manny Ramirez may not be 100% (despite his home run yesterday), so will Torre still start Manny today? If so, the Dodgers will be looking for Manny to spark the offense (but hopefully won't be waiting around like a bunch of slack-jawed yokels). This is the first time Banks has faced...

Post-Game 80 Thread: Showing Up

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 04, 2009
DODGERS 6, PADRES 3 Sign of the game. "Eighty percent of success is showing up," Woody Allen said, and Manny Ramirez did just that. Although he's still in summer-training mode (0-for-3, 1 BB), the Dodgers seemed energized by his mere presence, batting around the order and scoring five runs off Chad Gaudin in the first inning. And when Joe Torre removed Manny in...

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been getting great work from a couple of young relievers

Via Dodgers Locker  |  July 04, 2009
Fellow 26-year old righty relievers Ramon Troncoso and Ronald Belisario have been outstanding this season setting up closer Jonathan Broxton. A lot was expected of Troncoso who was the Dodgers’ #12 prospect heading into this season according to Baseball America. He has pitched in 37 games (0 starts) this season for the Dodgers [...]

Belisario Beats LA: Padres 7, Dodgers 4

Via 6-4-2: Double Play Blog  |  July 04, 2009
I didn't really have anything to say about yesterday's 6-3 cruise to the finish line over the Padres because (a) I was at the Angels game (duh), and (b) it was really a pretty dull game, what with the Dodgers roaring out to a 5-0 lead in the first and never looking back; the 13-0 rout of the Astros in San Francisco at least had the dramatics of seeing the likes of the Molina...

Manny Returns

Via Baseball Musings  |  July 03, 2009
The Dodgers and Padres game is underway. Manny Ramirez bats third, so he’ll be up this inning. Rafael Furcal starts the game with a single. Furcal’s OBA has been up and down the last few years, and he’s definitely down this season. Update: Hudson grounds out to bring up Manny. There’s a [...]

Via Fox Sports  |  July 03, 2009
Manny Ramirez's much-anticipated return to Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup won't come at home, but close enough to it that his reception might not be entirely negative.

Manny Ramirez not the only one who returns

Via LA Times  |  July 03, 2009
Claudio Vargas is back in uniform after a lengthy stay on the disabled list. Dodgers coach Ken Howell played seven years in the major leagues, but he had never seen anything like the sight that greeted him at Petco Park on Friday: More than four dozen journalists, notebooks and cameras at the ready, were crowded...

Another no-decision for Randy Wolf

Via LA Times  |  July 04, 2009
Left-hander pitches well enough to get the win, before bullpen lets lead get away. The no-decisions continue to pile up for Randy Wolf , who held the Padres to one run over six innings Saturday but extended his winless streak to seven starts.
