Game 122 Thread: August 17 vs. Rockies, 7.40p

Dodgers start Eric Stults, LHP (0-1, 4.50) vs. Josh Fogg, RHP (7-7, 4.64).

Dodgers: 62-59 (4th place NL West, 6.5 GB, W2)
Rockies: 62-58 (3rd place NL West, 6.0 GB, L1)

From Dodgers.com, the scouting report on the starters:

Dodgers: Stults is expected to be called up from Triple-A for this start, replacing mark Hendrickson. He's made one start for the Dodgers this year, a loss to the Mets,and has allowed three home runs in only 16 innings.

Rockies: In his last start, at home against the Cubs, Fogg walked in a first-inning run but settled down and gave up just one more run in six solid innings. Starting July 17, Fogg has lowered his ERA from 5.36 to 4.64. He has won six of his past eight decisions.

From Inside the Dodgers:

Furcal, SS
Pierre, CF
Sweeney, 1B
Kent, 2B
Gonzo, LF
Martin, C
Ethier, RF
Hillenbrand, 3B
Stults, P

No Loney, no Kemp, but Sweeney starting at first and batting third? Here's his chance to get out of the doghouse.

Orel,(Mr It's not Grady's fault), on Wednesday's night game, you said Eric Wedge wasn't going to sit and watch his team fold but it is alright for Grady to watch the CRASH of 2007?
Fire Grady ASAP!!

Dodger hit machine in full gear, 5-0 after 2

Steve Sax said...

Nine Dodgers come up in the second, unbelievable. Stults has five Ks through three, 5-2 Dodgers.

It looks like Brian Grazer is sitting behind home plate.

Steve Sax said...

Grazer is totally not paying attention, btw.

Steve Sax said...

E Stults Ks his sixth in the fourth inning. Still 5-2. I almost feel comfortable enough with this lead to fire up the Wii.

Orel said...

Hey, apparently I've been busy talking about Eric Wedge and the Indians. What's going on here?

Steve Sax said...

Stults raps a double! Let's see if Raffy, with two out, can get him home.

Steve Sax said...

Well Orel (Mr. It's Not Grady's Fault), you tell me.

I could have sworn I had heard you say, "Wedge, you're no good back there!"

Steve Sax said...

Pierre strands Stults. Why oh why does slappy always swing at the first pitch?!

Orel said...

Deer meat story!

I was thinking about renaming this blog "Sons of Rocky Colavito."

Eric Karros said...

Yeah anonymous, I couldn't quite believe it either when Orel said that about Wedge

Orel said...

Stults is dealing.

Orel said...

Don't get me started on Eric Wedge.

Damon said...

they should keep stults in

Eric Karros said...

Do they have Broxton or someone warming up in the bullpen?

Orel said...

Settle down there, Mr. Holds.

Orel said...

For those who like to indulge in a little schadenfreude, tune in to Fox Sports West and watch Eric Gagne blow his third save for the Red Sox (15.00 ERA).

Steve Sax said...

Triple without a throw--even I've gotta say, pretty exciting, Mr. Pierre. Nice.

Eric Karros said...

Poor Broxton hasn't seen many hold situations lately

Eric Karros said...

I prefer Yahtzee to Schadenfreude

Eric Karros said...

No more hold situation thanks to Sweeney's single. I'm going to sleep now.

Orel said...

Good night. Go Indians!

Orel said...

Wow, Brox lets two on then starts dealing, striking out the next three.

Don't dirty this blog up with the Indians.

Proctor gives up a 2-run bomb. 6-4 Dodgers. Saito time?

Orel said...

Saito's song: "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogoood and the Delaware Destroyers.

Orel said...

Saito dealing. 2 out.

Steve Sax said...

Three in a row! Well done Blue.

Damon said...

proctor is bad
