Chad Billingsley (3-0, 2.84) vs. Wandy Rodriguez (1-1, 1.89).
COMMENTS:
- A note from SoSG Sax: The MLB Network is broadcasting today's game in their "Thursday Night Baseball" slot; Matt Vasgersian (of PlayStation's "MLB: The Show" series fame) is doing the call.
- Sure, the bullpen's questionable, but the Dodgers are also averaging more than six runs scored per game.
- And it might seem the Dodgers lead the NL in aggregate LOB, but that's not true. They're third in the NL with 123 LOB (behind the Nationals and Cardinals). So there.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 301 of 301wow harold reynolds is an idiot! who saw that on mlb network?
Gameday needs to wise up. That first pitch was not a slider. It was, however, a very bad mistake that Carlos Lee just missed.
he barely even hit those of the tee
What did he say Koufax?
bills is getting tired.
he was trying to explain manny's leg kick. he ended up just mumbling and hitting a wiffle off a tee, and was like there you have it the manny leg kick!
Steiner just called Bills an "ace".
That curve was a good pitch. Blum did well to foul it off.
Tired? He is making some beautiful pitches to Erstad.
hopefully the pen can hold on bills deserves the win.
...and he just hit 94.
Joe, please leave him in for the 8th.
lets get some run support
96 pitches through 7, anyone else think he is done?
its 1030 in NYC, ive been watching the blue for 3 hours and now i have to watch the lake show for 3 more, why do i live here?
How close was that first pitch actually to Manny's head?
manny legged that out, wtf?
Dusto - If Torre is stupid he is. His last pitch was 94, which suggests he isn't tired. 1 more inning should be fine, especially if the Dodgers get anywhere near his lineup spot.
i think we need to have the officiating crews lockers checked for free minute maid orange juice cartons.
Nic - The call on the first pitch to Russ was a good one. For once.
What's the word? Do they have anyone up for Chad?
even a broken clock is right twice a day.
come on chad!
YAY. 8 innings from a starter is what we need.
good to see bills still in there!
Is Delino here?
Dusto - Absolutely. He just needs to locate a few more inches inside against Bourn.
Crap. He just handed Bourn that hit. Then again, DeWitt makes that play.
5 out save coming up!
how much are we overpaying blake again?
brox for the long save?
Dusto - Blake isn't overpaid. He is just unnecessary with Hudson and DeWitt. Then again, he has showed a ton of power.
Oh damn you Torre.
You know Pence wasn't expecting that FP Slider
at least russ' throw was to the right side of the bag
Russ had no chance there.
Looks like Ox has the book on Pence with all the breaking balls he is throwing.
come on! that was money!
Koufax - Very borderline. Glavine or Maddux gets that call in 1996, but not Broxton in 2009.
phew!
i wanted it
That first pitch to Matsui was a strike.
Blake is the inverse of Pierre... all power no avg (ATM) and no speed... and hardly good defense.
J-Bro's slider is working well.
heart of the order in the bottom of the ninth
atta blake!
that twelve year old has a hell of an arm!
grounder to first...
finally
how about them apples... (i was getting ready to nickname Loney "grounder to first"... last year I got in the habbit of calling him "double play".)
Dusto - Blake is actually not THAT slow, but the point is well made
Pierre:
Plus - Speed, Contact/AVG, Fielding
Minus - Power, Patience, Arm
Blake:
Plus - Power, Arm, Patience (sort of)
Minus - Contact/AVG (so far), Fielding, Speed (more like average)
I agree on the Ox's slider. It is snapping tonight.
Oooh. We finally got a call on that last pitch.
crap
well, that sucked.
dang- bang!
has anyone ever seen broxton hit?
Yeesh.
Casey put a charge in that one too. I can't wait to see what he does at Coors this week.
good luck guys. time for the laker game.
Koufax - I saw him hit in person at Dodger Stadium. Was a 1+ inning save of Bills like this one coincidentally, against the Brewers. He actually coaxed a 3-2 walk from Carlos Villanueva.
would have love to see that
that slider was up, keep those down brox
It was funny, because the big boy looked like he actually took the AB seriously.
Ox - Please don't fall in love with that slider. You just hung that one.
yup...
Brox hangs a slider 0-2
I love that pitch. Puma couldn't have liked seeing a 99 MPH ball coming straight inside.
1-2... come on Brox! go hard!!! miss the plate a few times.
K!!!
way to go russ they pitched him completely backwords, to perfection!
Damn. When was the last time Broxton threw 58% breaking balls?
BTW, Berkman has looked really bad outside that moon shot off Bellysario. Any reason?
Man, Lee didn't know what was coming on that first pitch.
Brox has 4 career at bats, 0 hits, 2 walks...
beautiful
That is so not fair. HAHA
K!!!!
not that im looking ahead, but the blue fly to colorado, get into their hotel at midnight, im guessing brox isnt going to be able to go tomorrow if we need him
He hit the corner with a 100 MPH heater after throwing Lee 3 straight sliders.
3 straight 100 MPH heaters. Brox is on tonight. He was also robbed on that 0-1 pitch.
that did not hit him!
Ugh. HBP.
Steiner says he's one of those types that gets scared driving 100 MPH (I really find it difficult seeing Steiner driving 100) but he says he can't imagine facing 100 MPH heater. Monday says at least it wont last very long... And steiner almost got into a laughing fit.
Does Erstad still have the bat speed to catch up to Brox? If not, just gas him.
sad trumpets
anyone can hit 100... just start before he gets into his windup.
and brox is having troubles.
Stop making it interesting Jon.
BTW, that was a hell of a throw by Tejada
this just got serious.
1-1
Russ makes the save again.
I can tell...why the minute i get home, the Dodgers pitching is shaky?
yes!
Jon - You are throwing 100. Why are you f'ing with that slider?
1-2... another slider...
you think he goes there again...
i go high fast ball.
game!!!
first shut out of the year!!! yeah!!!
That was exciting. Great WIN!!!
FYI- (im sitting in the university computer lab and I just farted really loud... haha, I'm not even ashamed anymore, I've spent waaaay to much time here this year.)
nice dusto
Blum is a liar, but the OX gets the win.
Whoo hoo!
Hilarious Dusty!!!
Shoutout win-beautiful!
Sons: by the way, i adored the Game Thread...you know i can't get enough of the mix between baseball and Star War.Plus, you made great puns!.
May the force be with you, younglings, padawans and Jedi knights alike. Night!
our tri-lambs really showed those AB whose boss....
Technically, shouldn't one of the Sons be on Leia's face? Since Leia asks Obi-Wan for help?
I'm only to show my Star Wars nerdness. Not trying to be a know-it-all.
