Game #5: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies
October 21, 2009 by

| Comments
This should be a good matchup between righty Vicente Padilla and lefty Cole Hamels. Padilla has been outstanding during the post season for the Phillies as he has started 2 games in which he is 1-0 with a 0.63 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP. If he is on like he was in Game #2 in [...]

The Dodgers had this game in the bag until the 9th inning when Jonathan Broxton blew up and lost the game. With 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth inning Jimmy Rollins whacked a double that knocked in Eric Bruntlett and Carlos Ruiz to seal this win for the Phillies. Randy Wolf [...]

Game 3: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies
October 18, 2009 by
Dodgers Locker
| Comments
The Dodgers are going with Hiroki Kuroda against Cliff Lee of the Phillies. Kuroda did not pitch in the first round of the playoffs due to injury so the Dodgers probably just want five good innings out of him. He started 1 game against the Phillies this season and he was 0-0 with a 0.00 [...]
Los Angeles Dodgers 2, Philadelphia Phillies 1

| Comments
The Dodgers were losing this game 1-0 going into the 8th inning but that’s when the game changed. As soon as the masterful Pedro Martinez left the pitching mound the Dodgers got it into gear. Russell Martin was the key on offense for the Dodgers in this game. He was 1 for [...]

The Dodgers have declined a $2.2 million dollar option on the 2010 season for 32-year old lefty reliever Will Ohman making him a free agent. The Dodgers have paid a $200,000 dollar buyout to Ohman so don’t feel too sorry for him. He pitched in only 21 games (0 starts) for the Dodgers [...]

This is a very interesting pitching matchup as Vicente Padilla will be opposing Pedro Martinez. Padilla looked very sharp in his start against the Cardinals but facing the Phillies is an entirely different animal. Padilla did not pitch against the Phillies this season but a few of...

The Dodgers hit the ball well against the Phillies in this game but it just wasn’t quite good enough to get the job done. Andre Ethier was in the #2 slot for the Dodgers in this game and he was solid going 3 for 5 with 1 run scored, 1 double and 1 RBI. Manny [...]

This should be a very interesting game between two outstanding young lefty starting pitchers in Clayton Kershaw (Dodgers) and Cole Hamels (Phillies). Kershaw was very solid in his start against the Cardinals in the first round of the playoffs but he has not pitched well against the...

The Dodgers have dropped righty reliever Jeff Weaver from the National League Championship Series roster and they have replaced him with 24-year old lefty reliever Scott Elbert. Weaver didn’t deserve to get bumped as he won his only appearance against the Cardinals working 1...
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a lights out bullpen
October 15, 2009 by
Dodgers Locker
| Comments
If the Dodgers get leads to the bullpen they will feel real confident about winning games. Jonathan Broxton has been a lights out closer all season for the Dodgers. But in the post season, Broxton has not had great numbers. Broxton has pitched in 10 games in his post season career and [...]

The Dodgers really need the starting rotation to give them quality innings to set up their deep bullpen. Young lefty Clayton Kershaw will be starting game #1 in this series. He pitched well in the first start of his post season career last round against the Cardinals. He has now pitched in [...]
The bench will be important for the Los Angeles Dodgers in this series
October 15, 2009 by
Dodgers Locker
| Comments
The bench came up big for the Dodgers in the first round of the playoffs with the Cardinals as Mark Loretta provided a game winning pinch hit. He is still #3 or #4 in line for the Dodgers as far as pinch hitters go. Jim Thome will be the first hitter off the [...]
The Los Angeles Dodgers will have to score a lot of runs to win this series
October 15, 2009 by
Dodgers Locker
| Comments
Sure, the Dodgers got solid starting pitching against the Cardinals but the Phillies are a different animal as they are strong 1-8 in the batting order. With that in mind the Dodgers will need to score a lot of runs to win this series. At the top of the lineup Rafael Furcal will [...]
N.L.C.S. : Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies
October 15, 2009 by
Dodgers Locker
| Comments
This is a rematch of last season in the N.L.C.S. This should be a fun series because these teams match up pretty well. The Phillies have a better lineup in the field and they probably have a better starting rotation but the same was said about the Dodgers’ series against the...

The Dodgers jumped all over Cardinals’ starting pitcher Joel Pineiro in this game taking the Cardinals’ crowd right out of the game. Andre Ethier led the way on offense as he was 3 for 5 with a double, triple, homer, 2 runs scored and 2 RBIs. Manny Ramirez came alive with the bat [...]
