Randy Wolf (0-1, 6.75) vs. Dan Haren (0-1, 1.29).
COMMENTS: Did you catch the Aflac trivia question on yesterday's television broadcast? 1955 was the last time the Dodgers started six different pitchers in the first six games of the season—and we all know what happened in 1955. Joe Torre, you genius!
One game before the Dodgers' home opener, the team finds itself at .500 with some things to be happy about...some, not so much. The good: 11 runs in yesterday's game, a heroic spot-start by Eric Stults and great overall defense. The not-so-good: question marks in the starting rotation and bullpen, and an offense (26 team walks vs. 34 team strikeouts) still trying to find its rhythm. (If the Dodgers score another 11 runs today, disregard that last part.)
Both the Dodgers and Diamondbacks are seeking their first series win today. Need we remind you that Opening Day at Dodger Stadium will be that much brighter with a winning record?
(Oh, and one more thing: No matter what you do, DON'T listen to post-game DodgerTalk on 790 KABC between 5 and 6 p.m. at 6:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. You'll be glad you didn't!)

What's happening at 6.30p on KABC 790 AM's show, DodgerTalk? I'm very intrigued!
No idea what you're talking about.
Furcal, SS
Hudson, 2B
Ramirez, LF
Loney, 1B
Martin, C
Ethier, RF
Blake, 3B
Pierre, CF
Wolf, P
I will not be listening but I want to know whats going on.
does wolf bat left handed? If so that's two left handed hitters in a row in the bottom of the lineup. What is Torre thinking
You know I WILL BE LISTENING AT 6:30pm. Can't wait.
I understand trying to give Pierre some starts, but wouldn't it be better to start him when you rest Furcal, then bat him leadoff so we dont lose the speed at the top. Then bat Dewitt in the 8th spot - he seems to be used to it down in the order.
Somebody tape it for me please
Andy LaRoche is 0-14 so far with 1 walk.
Joe Thurston on the other hand 538 .571 .846
Oh, come on, why all the mystery? Some sort of false modesty at work here? What's on Dodger Talk?
is that Ann Coulter leading the anthem?
It's not false modesty, it's nerves.
i didn't realize what an idiot Mark Grace was
You watching the home team feed, FB?
Guess that would be a yes.
Grace hearts Broxton
good luck Orel! i wish i could hear it
Thanks, FB!
apparently he also hearts The Blue Man Group
Manny ropes a single up the middle.
Trying to figure out if that's a euphemism, FB.
E-7! Men on 2nd & 3rd.
Nice plate discipline by Russell.
Nasty change, Russell was looking fastball.
Wolf gets squeezed on a curveball on the corner, then Lopez doubles to Pierre.
strange - mlb.tv switched me to the LA broadcast
count your blessings
JP in CF is already paying dividends—for the D'backs. 1-0 D'backs.
he got it into the infield on the fly
our first game without taking the first lead?
Pierre is gonna tear it up today
JP says, Glove that! His single moves Ethier to third.
wow, thanks, Juan
PC, meet Nostradamus
Juan Pierre Signature Quickness!
Thats the Dodger way!!!!
sunnuba B
rare 1-4 DP
What is Bob Melvin arguing about?
I think Torre had a good point
Okay, Lopez didn't touch second and JP was called out before Lopez tagged him out.
Although the TV says it's a 1-1 tie.
i just entered the game and im already confused
Not a bad throw by J. Martin, but Reynolds steals the base.
They're keeping that 1-1 score up, so I guess they did give them the run
Did Ethier score the run?
I think the Gameday operator's head just blew up.
Vin is reporting 1-0 D'backs.
wow that was a dum arse play
I guess Ethier crossed the plate before Pierre was tagged out. Nice job, Torre. 1-1 tie.
In a freaky way Juan Pierre did something right.
...or Lopez did something really stoopid!
Both, PC.
Off to walk the dog. Switching to radio for a while.
so we got a run without a tagup?
i remember a game back in the late 80's or early 90s vs Montreal. it went way into extras, 15 or 16 innings or more. MTL scored the "winning" run on a sac fly, but the as the players left the field, the 3rd base up stood there looking at third. the dodgers thought something must be up so they appealed that the runner tagged too early, won the appeal and won the game an inning or two later
I have never seen a run scored like that before.
Manny's due to clock one
Hey all, I hope we can get this win. Hey, Brim - I remember listening to MLB.com when I was in Chicago and all they had were the home team feed. And yes, Grace does sound like a dork.
does Wolf get an RBI on that "sac fly"?
hehe Manny knew that was a ball before Haren threw it
At this rate Manny is gonna have 3 HRs at season's end
Haren should have just walked Loney, Russell Martin is almost guarenteed to hit into an inning ending double play
Hey, PC I have an autographed baseball card from Enos Cabell. Made me laugh when I saw your avitar name.
Go James - YOU ARE FREE!
what did I say?
Bring in Ausmus!!!!
dangit - why so many double plays?
Manny flashing the leather!
manny brought his gold glove today
not a bad inning
Alex Cora - yeah, I've got an autographed glossy of Enos Cabell. It's in a shoebox on top of my Mike Marshall autograph. When I was young I used to laugh everytime I heard the name Enos Cabell.
way to keep his pitch count low
:/
alejandro pena?
ooh yes!
Will Wolf be the first Dodger to go more than 6>?
Nice call Brim!
good call Fred!
did i just hear that correctly? Vin is talking about Byrnes not having any underwear
Commando Style
Imagine my surprise when I was listening to dodger talk last night.
robbery
o dawg
Haren needs to shave. His beard is patchy
does anybody know where you can listen to postgame dodgertalk online, its always blacked out on the KABC website stream and the MLB at bat for the iphone only covers audio of the actual game. Other than that im forced to sit in my car or go out and but an AM radio.
Epale, everyone!
Close games, my favorite.
I'd wish Randy Wolf could pitch like this at least half a season. Too bad it's only April and hence, pitching dominance.
That's a great question, would be it possible to hear it in Venezuela?
Wow! 2 K's in this inning for Wolf
Maybe the bullpen can finally get a breather
KABC even blocks the post game on the website?? That blows.
Buena pasqua senorita.
manny you are overdue!!!
Damn.
damn, still a pretty good at bat
Hola Karina! Glad to have you back!
I think Orel is prepping...
yup, im guessing there are literally DOZENS of people that would rather listen to money talk.
The sunday night sports report is usually streamed on KABC so you may be able to hear it online tonight.
Russellis stinkin' it up
an improvement! it wasnt a DP that time
Yeah, Russell looks like he is a deer in headlights.
good point Fred
hey come on guys. Now that Nomar is gone someone has to get the GIDP's done.
Can't you just get Martin a couple of chances?
Are we actually going to see a Dodger starting pitcher in the 7th?
Young K's and the grass is green
Hola Neeebs and Alex!
It looks like Wolf strikes out people when he actually pitches a lot.
the d-backs strike out alot in general, but wolf is looking pretty good
Wolf is doing a GREAT job mixing his. Pitches and hitting his spots. The game is easy when you can do that.
Roommate is yelling. Something bad must of happened to the redsox
we really need some more runs.
Wolf has got some pop
woo, kemp back in
Gutierrez cruised the inning with only 8 pitches.
Does his stuff look nasty or simply the Dodgers bats are sucking big time?
well it was the bottom of the order.
Wow. Wolf is impressing.
you should be able to hear the post game show on kabc.com tonight if anyones interested, its on the programming schedule. Starting at 5:30p
Wolf going for a complete game
gotta run guys - remember listen to Dodger Talk at 630!!!!! Go blue!
Calling manny hr
His swing looks a bit slow.
manny can work a walk out of anything
A walk will do
Wolf coming back out?
Pujols is a robot
Or Kuo?
that'll do wolf, that'll do.
Good job wolf
Beautiful play by Kuo.
Vin - and the fast ball a little.... in the strike zone.
HAHAHA
those shadows are horrible
uh oh.
The Dodgers better get an insurance run here. Nothing makes me more nervous than Jonathan Broxton coming in with only a one run lead.
Yes
Can't Russell do that with runners on?
thats how you do it J.Martin
Guy deserves a chance!
clutch
Insurance.
Big run
Kemp helping me with the hit/rbi and martins run
Kemp is a stud! Insurance run double scores Martin, 3-1!
Now I won't be as nervous to see Broxton
This is the baby blue working the charm!
Let's see if the new PH is better than the last one.
I forgot I sat kemp :(
Good, insurance run!
Besides, the pinch hitter didn't strike out or GIDP. This is real improvement.
Oh, the tribulations of fantasy baseball. I'm sorry, Damon :(
Mark Grace has a hard on for Broxton
I'm new to head to head leagues. I like roto better
I've only played head to head.
GOLD GLOVE
99!
Broxton.
Nice way to end a series.
Wow Reynolds K's
easyish inning for JB too - maybe he'll have the juice for tomorrow too
Dodgers win! let's go blue!
one question: should we have a thread for the KABC 790 AM's show?
Orel may be in the green room right now...tune in, SoSG fans!
I just got bumped up to 5:30.
top billing huh? nice.
