Tonight's Game

I have never seen as many blasts off Colorado bats die at the Coors Field outfield walls as I saw Friday.

Here's a link to the Walteromalley.com obituary for Rollie Seidler, the longtime Dodger executive and husband of Terry O'Malley Seidler. Rollie Seidler passed away Thursday.

Starting lineup:

Furcal, SS
Lofton, CF
Nomar, 1B
Drew, RF
Kemp, LF
Aybar, 2B
Guzman, 3B
Martin, C
Tomko, P

since the beginning of May, Jennings is 2-5 including two losses to the Dodgers. His two wins were both shutouts against Houston and San Diego. In the five losses he has a 5.02 ERA.

I think this is a prime opportunity for Bret Tomko to get back on track, the Rockies offense has been terrible recently and the offense should score against Jennings. Billingsley starts tonite for Las Vegas, btw.

Perhaps the Destroyer nickname should be given to Kemp after his good start.

Kemp has a nickname (M. Bison) and he's too young to have two.
2006-06-10 15:59:17

I don't know but Bison dons't sound good to me.

I was on vacation during the genesis of Kemp's nickname. What is the background of "M. Bison"?
2006-06-10 16:00:31
10.   Bluebleeder87
who thought if "Bison" anyway?
2006-06-10 16:01:46

I think some announcers thought of that name (I don't like it though)

2006-06-10 16:12:59
12.   Andrew Shimmin
The Braves' broadcast team said that Kemp looked like a buffalo. Bob insisted that they meant bison. I don't remember who extended it to the video game character M. Bison. I'm on record as mildly opposed; I like that there's a theme, but after bull and bison, it gets tricky.

13- NO CONDORS. And mountain lions are gangling little beasts, compared with bulls and bison. Somebody could be a bear, that'd be alright. Is caribou in reserve for Martin, or whoever that Canadian 1B who just got drafted?

It would be nice to see Guzman get a couple of hits in a game before he goes back to Vegas next week. I think it would help him to leave on a good note.

12 How many times have you had to do this summary? It seems like last time we decided Bob didn't actually raise the objection, but rather someone suggested that he would. Am I wrong?
2006-06-10 16:42:23

20

That is correct.

I'm pleased to know that I hold such sway over people's opinions that they fear my displeasure with them.

I think I should go into the political arena where some of my better ideas can be implemented.

Apparently the Constitution prevents me from getting a bill of attainder passed to punish Frank Robinson and Russ Ortiz.

Here's a little pregame project... A frined gave me an autographed baseball today asking me to identify it. Names I recognize include Arkie Vaughn, Cliff Melton and Lefty O'Doul on the sweet spot. I don't have my encyclopedia with me. Any help?
2006-06-10 16:44:19
23.   Bob Timmermann
Arky Vaughan was a HOF shortstop for the Pirates and Dodgers.

Lefty O'Doul had some gaudy batting averages in the 20s and 30s and was a longtime manager in the PCL and is in the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.

Cliff Melton won 20 games as a rookie for the Giants in 1937, but never was that good after that.

20- Ah ha! I wasn't around for that thread, so I've been recompiling from secondary sources. I missed yesterday, too, but read through the whole thing. 200 some odd posts on Odalis is a fairly depressing way to spend a Saturday afternoon. But Tomko will redeem it, I have great faith.
2006-06-10 17:03:32
28.   Greg S
23- Found my Total Baseball. This ball is clearly from the Pacific Coast League. O'Doul is the manager and Vaughn and Melton are players. I think. Apparently, O'Doul managed there from '37-'51. Vaughn played in the bigs from '32-'48. So maybe Vaughn went down after his career and coached?
Others on the ball include Dick Lajeskie (played for Giants in 1946) and Steve Nagy (Charles' Dad?)

2006-06-10 17:19:26
34.   Bob Timmermann
It's Arky Vaughan, not Vaughn. The most famous Vaughn is Mo.

Or Robert.

Arky played in the PCL in 1949 for San Francisco. I suppose he got offered a fair amount as the PCL paid pretty well at that time.

He died in a boating accident in 1952.
You should take a look at the BB/SO ratios for Vaughan. He was an extraordinarily tough out and had great plate discipline.

2006-06-10 17:19:51
35.   Andrew Shimmin
Is Ardoin hurt, or did they send him down?
2006-06-10 17:21:11
36.   Eric Enders
22 That is a 1949 Seals baseball. O'Doul was the manager and Vaughan and Melton were players on the team.

Is anyone else having problems accessing the Gameday audio feed? Every time I try to get the KWFB feed, I get an almost blank window that says, "Please reload page to view media." I can load the Rockies feed fine, but I'd much rather listen to Vin.

Also, what the heck was Martin thinking about?
2006-06-10 17:25:27
43.   Bob Timmermann
BTW, I'm not trying to be a pedant about Arky Vaughan's name as much as I'm trying to pay tribute to his career. He was a very good player and is often forgotten.

He was third in the MVP voting to Gabby Hartnett and Dizzy Dean that year.

2006-06-10 17:25:40
44.   Greg S
34- Thanks Bob! So it must be '49 Seals. Knew of Vaughan from when I had him in a fantasy league. Ball might even have some value considering it has a HOFer who died in '52.
Thanks for your help. On with the game! Oh wait, we're winning already.
2006-06-10 17:26:48

I think Vin like the humidor. Because I think he likes to say "humidor."

When I look at careers like Vaughan's and you look at past MVP votes, I think to myself, "They pick the wrong guy a lot."

Aybar was stopping at third, but Martin had rounded first too far and Hawpe threw behind him.

With Martin a dead duck, Aybar decided to try for home and was out.

49- Martin got himself in a rundown, rounding first. Aybar sprinted home as a distraction/last ditch attempt to score before Martin's goof ended the inning. He didn't make it.
2006-06-10 17:31:01
56.   gpellamjr
52 I just don't understand it. Do they change the balls to make up for the offense at Wrigley? Do they juice the balls for PETCO? Maybe they should use superballs at Dolphins Stadium so they can go out into right-center. What's the justification for it?

The Rockies justification is that the balls are kept in a climate-controlled environment because at Denver's altitude, if the baseballs are left alone, they will no longer meet major league specifications.

61 Are there major league specifications for the moisture of the baseballs (I think the moisture is the issue)?
2006-06-10 17:35:46

The specification is that the balls would dry out and get too light.

From that Ringoslby article:

I think the Dodgers have to make a trade for a front line starter. I believe the team, as is, will likely get into the playoffs. But if we want to get deep into the post season and possibly win it all, we will need to be able to go toe to toe with the Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox, the cream of the league. Look, I love watching the Rookies as much as anybody. The best thing about them is that they signal that we are good now and will be good for the foreseeable future. The BAD about the Rookies is that they are inexperienced in high pressure situations. I can't wait to see Billingsley. But I don't want to see him start Game 3 of the WS in Yankee Stadium in his 10th MLB start. Lowe and Penny fit the bill. One more and we could compete with anybody. Maybe Billingsley can start Game 1 of the 2007 World Series.

Tomko seems to need to give up 2-4 runs early and then he settles down. We can afford this if we get the bull-pen straight.

We can't afford to lose Matt Kemp. But you can't tell him to take it easy either.

169. It was a botched suicide squeeze. Dodgers pitched out twice, and got him the 2nd time.

i think zito is a front line starter. especially in the NL. But i would rather throw a ton of money at him in the offseason. With the 10 mil we save on declining gagnes option and the kids filling most of the holes in the lineup, we can afford zito especially when you know hes going to give you 220 above average innings.

I don't want grizzle--I want someone who can pitch.

I've never thought of Tomko as a gamer--it's not as if he has any sort of spectacular post-season success.

Heck, after Seo's heroics in the WBC, he probably has a better claimn to being clutch than Tomko.

Beimel is at least predictable. He gets a stikeout , a hit or a walk.
But middle relief guys are so unpredictable it is crazy.
One truth is this-over the last several years we have gone from having the best middle relievers in BB to having the worst!
Or perhaps the most unpredictable. And we have given most of the good in trade (This is somewhat mitigated because they are so unpredictable). But think of Mota, Sanchez and at least two before them who I can't remember names. I think they are regarded lightly because they are unpredictable. But if your starters can not go eight innings, this is not a light matter!

So...we've already used three guys out of the pen (Seo, Beimel, Broxton), Gagne's unavailable, and we've got 3 innings left to pitch if we want to win? So it's Saito for three innings? Or do we just put Baez in and concede?

Whats cool about tonight is most of the damage has been done by guys that werent even pencilled in to start the year.

Martin hitting for some power is very encouraging. Kemp/Aybar seem to play well every game.

Taking Drew out in an 11-9 game?
Either he's hurt or Grits is conceding.
WTF.

I recall Bill Simmons complaining about Grittle's double-switches removing good hitters, and their inferior replacements coming up at key moments later in the game.

2006-06-10 19:48:30

If anyone gets on in the top of the 8th, then Kuo's night lasted an inning.
2006-06-10 19:48:34

Kuo's been excellent since beeing recalled.
2006-06-10 19:48:54

2006-06-10 19:49:32

[271] how's that? kuo is due up 4th. sure, you can bat saenz for him, but why take drew out for that?
2006-06-10 19:49:44
277.   JoeyP
Struck out the side.
Where was this guy two innings ago?
2006-06-10 19:49:44

Don't pass Kuo, don't collect $200
2006-06-10 19:50:13

I hope Kuo stays in for another inning of total domination.
2006-06-10 19:50:19
280.   Gen3Blue
We have close to the best run scoring machine in MLB. We are well up there towards the best starting pitching.
Logic dictates-we must have some of the worst relief pitching. And while this is a chancy area, I come to see we have been working on this for a while now.
2006-06-10 19:50:42
281.   Johnson
We have the best left-handed reliever in the league and Hong-Chih Kuo!
2006-06-10 19:50:45
282.   Vishal
hong-chih wow.
2006-06-10 19:51:25
283.   JoeyP
Furcal, Lofton, Nomar, Saenz probably due up in the 8th.

The dodgers only have Martinez, Saenz, and Alomar left to pinch hit. And only Baez left in the bullpen.

2006-06-10 19:51:41
284.   Vishal
[281] lol

fuentes might have something to say about that though. and maybe mike gonzalez, too.

Why are people suprised to see Drew out of the game? He was clearly hurt sliding into second.
2006-06-10 19:51:46

There's a reason there a *K*in Kou.
2006-06-10 19:51:57

I thought Drew and Garc screwed their knees?
2006-06-10 19:51:58
288.   Greg S
280- I think there is reason to belive the stats are lying re: starting pitching. We have two strong startes and three VERY questionable ones.
2006-06-10 19:53:07
289.   Bob Timmermann
Saito is available in the bullpen too and if the game went really long, I would think Perez would pitch since he's not pitching until Saturday.

As for Drew, his knee had to start hurting him, so Little didn't have much of a choice.

2006-06-10 19:53:15

283- Don't forget Sammy.

285. BC Drew stayed in and got another hit at the plate. And didnt seem to have any trouble fielding in RF.

292.   Dodger Dave
Middle relievers are vastly overrated. I wouldn't go so far as to call them interchangeable, but they're as close to dime-a-dozen as any position in the game. They're pitchers not good enough to start or close.

More importantly, the need for middle relievers wouldn't be so great if our starting pitching could give us some innings. If Tomko wasn't terrible today (and going by his track record, this is not as anomalous as you'd hope), then there's no need to bring Beimel/Carter/Baez/batboy in to pitch.

The Dodgers biggest need is a starting pitcher who can give six solid innings each time out. That's already an improvement over 3/5ths of their existing rotation.

Need a rally killing HR Saenz.

About the only good thing I can say about Baez is that he hasn't given up any home runs this year

Now there is nothing good I can say about Baez. The roider just gave the Rockies a 3 run lead. Game over.

Baez reminds me of that old movie "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead (To Me)". Thanks, Danny.

Didnt Peidra do that last year against the Dodgers? Maybe it was 2yrs ago. The Ex-Dodger farmhand/roider just kills the blue.

And I'll tell ya, if I was a young 21 or 22 year old pitcher in base ball today. I'd say, you know I'm more comfortable as a reliever than a starter. Thinking to myself, I'd rather hang around up here with the stars and only make a few million. My god, to be a starter I'd have to go back to the minors for a year or two.

We deserve every loss we got putting an incompetant on the mound. Thats not to say a few pitchers won't improve with exposure.
But I give- I know we have the 3rd or 4rth
best ERA in the national league. Our starters must be even better, but I can't find that breakdown quickly. Any help.
2006-06-10 20:43:38

Is Tomko's spot in jeopardy? That's 5 straight bad outings. Do we have any other choice or are we just stuck with Tomko?
2006-06-10 20:48:49
328.   MartinBillingsley31
This team is pretty predictable.
perez/seo/tomko mediocre
beimel/baez mediocre
carter/hamulack junk
penny/lowe/gagne superstars
kuo/broxton good prospects
drew/kent/nomar superstars
furcal decent for his position
navarro decent for his position
cruz/mueller/alomar/ledee mediocre
martin/aybar/ethier good prospects
saenz good for the bench

Surprises:
lofton but its still early
martinez but its still early
sele but its still early
repko
saito
kemp

2006-06-10 20:52:43

I'm kinda disapointed at Tomko today, but hopefully he comes back & redeems him self.

Go Dodgers!

In the last four years these relievers have made roughly
Carter 1,500,000
Baez 17,000,000
I hate to look further, but this is the place to hide and make a few mil. to live off. A light is beginning to shine on this
middle reliever market, and I hope it is never the same.

How did Billingsley end up doing tonight?
Better than Tomko? Better than Odalis' last outing?
