Randy Wolf (1-1, 4.31) vs. Chris Young (2-1, 5.74).
COMMENTS: Release the rabbits! In Young's last start, the Rockies stole eight bases against the Padre lamppost. The Dodgers, as Vin likes to say, have a few rabbits of their own, especially if Juan Pierre gets in the game. Eight stolen bases might be a bit much to expect, but how about one for each bunny Gromit is holding?
The Dodgers also have a Wolf, one pitching better than his numbers indicate. Vin tells us the Dodgers are batting .370 and averaging more than eight runs a game at Dodger Stadium (although those figures are now a tad lower after last night's 1-0 nail-biter), so Wolf would certainly appreciate some early run support. I know I would, because I ran out of Pepto during the ninth inning last night.
A win tonight would give the Dodgers the series win in this four-game set against the Padres, who suddenly find themselves under .500 (at 11-12) after a hot start which at one point put them at 9-3. The also-sub-.500 Diamondbacks and Nationals follow the Padres into town next week, so now's the time for the Dodgers to fatten up like, well, a wolf devouring rabbits. (Full circle. Ta-da!)

never go against the grain in dodger stadium. especially in the pavilion.
another 0-2 count, cripes!
Going again this year. Anyone else in for a SF road trip? Tons of Dodger fans there.
rbnlaw i will be there in august for the series
That's when I'm going. Only one of the games. . .probably Wed. day game.
it will be a sad day when someone gets beaten or stabbed for their
Mannywood t-shirt
Oh, Vin!
some wouldnt but mannywood
I gotta say, AT&T Park is nice.
"never go against the grain in dodger stadium. especially in the pavilion."
Word.
ya f the giants but that is a legit stadium
Siddown, Manny. He knew it right away.
froze him on an 0-2 curveball? come on Manny!
Nothing you can do when you're looking fastball.
Our seats were like the club level. Walk up to a bar, no wait for a beer. Great food, and a nice sports bar 2 blocks from the park. Not bad.
Giants fans are pretty nice for the most part. . .at least in our section.
Manny took that pitch so he could belt it later in the season
rbnlaw i will be there all week havent finalized tickets yet
Eckstein's little cleats are so cute!
rbnlaw being a dodgers fan and going to highschool in SF, wouldnt say giants fans are nice, then again i probably wasnt nice either
hope you're right on that FB.
Rbn, were you wearing Dodger gear?
think hatton just got KO'd ? can anyone verify?
cmon Randy stay tough against the top of their order. get through this and it will be the last time you have to do it
Orel, yes. Had a batting practice cap and "Dodger" shirt. Buddy of mine had the same.
yup its on yahoo sports.
espn.com: hatton tko'd second round
2nd round KO according to ESPN.
This is why I refuse to pay for boxing any longer. hype and then no payoff really
glad i didnt get the ppv
ESPN says second-round TKO for Pacquiao. Damn.
honeycutt is reminding wolf its the sixth inning.
Wolf I prayed for 7 innings, not six!
We need a DP.
randy wolf=james mcdonald, except not in the second inning
tron tron is up
"randy wolf=james mcdonald, except not in the second inning"
A bit harsh....
My daughter is at a birthday party where the fight was the highlight. Glad I skipped it.
crap! he's way outta the zone now...
agreed, but he has walked 4 out of 5...
One down; ground ball to get out of it.
can we get a dp out of gonzo?
90 MPH? Smoke!
I'll take a pop up
or a K
I have a bad feeling about this.
Quiet Han.
one more good pitch and then hopefully the hook!
Cripes.
hmmm
well, not the worst thing that could have happened.
That was unexpected. Bases juiced.
If Wolf woulda caught that, DP and out of the inning. damn!
Has Wolf worked past the 6th this year?
give us a grounder tron
Game of inches.
Hold on to your seats. Troncoso could go either way.
wow, subway advertises on MLB TV (I'm stuck @ work)
Didnt Randy go long in Houston?
i got faith in tron
Didn't he go 7 against the D-Backs?
gonna get a K and then a fly out
doubtful Orel, but I don't recall. Both my prayers go unanswered.
YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah!
ground ball!!!!!
we planned it that way
beautiful play!
one pitch, trons got the touch
Bud Black: unluckiest man since Pete Best!
You guys are right, Wolf went seven against the D'backs and Astros. link
wow! my MLB tv is jumpy tonight and it jumped from a shot of Randy on the bench to James catching a throw and trotting off the field. MLB tv is gonna give me a heart attack
C'mon Dre.
anyone know youngs pitch count?
this has to be it for Young - get a couple of dudes on and we feast on that bullpen
This ump has a high zone. Surprised he didn't ring Dre up.
83
Loney's going yard
King James!
Gotta love the run & hit!
thanks nic
if we dont get a run off of 2nd and 3rd with no outs...
well then we are the padres.
Russell a little eager there.
keep it goin Russ!
Pitch to Kemp!
Walk Kemp?
Git it done Kemp!
shit
Not what I meant at all!
You gotta be kidding.
anyone know where i can buy a padres hat?
Karmic payback for last night.
son of an eckstein
whats it going to be like when we are playing against non NL west teams?
Dear Dodgers,
With two RISP and none out in the sixth, and a starter who is rattled,
TAKE A F'ING PITCH AND WORK THE COUNT.
Love, SoSG Sax
nice stab Troncoso!
why not let troncoso start, push mcdonald to the pen?
"whats it going to be like when we are playing against non NL west teams?"
It could be bad. Which is why we gotta beat up on the rest of the division!
it maybe going in that direction
SS they haven't tried to work the count all night, only Wolf did in the 2nd thank christ!
They just moved McD to the pen.
I say Troncoso could start too.
Wouldn't be any more of a risk than having McD do it as they have til now.
tron isnt really stretched out though, for starting.
Mark my words: extra innings.
but for weaver right?
if they start weaver ill kill myself.
lets put nic on suicide watch cause i think weaver is going to start
Sorry Nic, Weaver's starting Tuesday.
Good job!
Don't do it, Nic!
tron = my new favorite dodger?
Waever? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Nothing like having a Kiwi sing "God Bless America."
Tron rocks.
i hope the offense is working that night.
weaver, do we always have the crappy brother of the angels player?
God Bless America score: 5 of 10. Too much forced warbling, and a wimpy voice. And she's aussie; this ISN'T her home!
Tron started in Vegas at times and looked ok, no comparison to the bigs really, but he can start if they prepare him to do so.
im starting the lets stretch tron out so he can start instead of weaver campaign
oh come on!!
bullshit call!
Ohhh that was close.
sign me up for that Sandy.
not even close!
tron was in the running for the fifth spot in the spring but was terrible early on.
he has looked was better.
worst call ever.
Blake was sooooooo safe. Boooooo.
he was so safe
Pierre batting for Tron. Who pitches the 8th?
i think someone was taking a picture with andre ethier and the flash distracted the first base ump.
Let the Pierre love begin.
raffy has the worst intro music
what is it nic
This is like a carbon copy of last night's game.
we can't expect a walk off walk every night you know... come on Dodgers.
Vin: "Juan Pierre has a head cold and is miserable."
On one of those things, I wholeheartedly agree.
And slappy fouls out.
i dont know, its spanish but it sounds so lame. its definately not "im gonna walk out and hit a bomb" music. Its more like "im gonna to walk out and get called out on a check swing" music.
Russell Martin's used to come out to Wild Cherry, not much worse than that.
well randy wolf comes out to danger zone.
close one. whew!
Good god. I stand corrected Nic.
Eckstein looks like he says "Gee Whiz" alot.
wade has looked great since coming back from the DL, granted only 2 innings
good job Wade!
Let's get Wade a win!
Wade pitches a great eighth. Welcome back, cory!
nice inning, Cory
where's the offense?
The Journey thing must come to an end. Curse you David Chase.
hey orel i saw all those white CGI baseball players at the stadium last night, youre right it was a little weird.
lets pick this bullpen apart
top of the lineup (-Raffy), so lets get to work!
he gets another shot at it.
that pitch was nasty.
here we go man ram
damn
at least our offense is really good
pssssssh...
Just so you all know, I was so moved by booger's David Eckstein / mini sirloin burger comment the other day, that I went out and tried them.
Not bad, if I do say so myself! Sort of like meatier White Castle sliders.
Yippee Ki Yay!
"hey orel i saw all those white CGI baseball players at the stadium last night, youre right it was a little weird."
That's Sax's torch, Nic, but glad you agree.
Where oh where have the bats gone since coming home?
NicJ, the all-white cartoony Dodgers are my crusade. I don't even know if Orel's seen them yet.
But they suck.
How many times have we fouled out tonight? 20?
This is sad.
Foul outs and 0-2 counts. sheesh.
Ha. Orel, if you and I keep typing the same comments right on top of each other, they're never going to realize we're the same person!
(Arm falls off.)
its really weird that they are all white, considering we have the most black players out of any team in the MLB
Okay, now that I've seen that Asian woman Southwest Airlines commercial for the 200th time, I just realized that the other elevator passenger says "Nine please." And then there are at least 12 "bing" sounds on the elevator. Why does she keep blocking him, after his floor has been passed?
NicJ, our current ethnic portfolio aside, it's ridiculous that the Dodgers--Jackie Robinson, Fernando Valenzuela, Chan Ho Park, Hideo Nomo--didn't consider racial diversity when they commissioned that animation. After all those years of tradition? Huh?
I dunno, but that initial move with the purse... pure genious!
I threw Chan Ho in there to make sure everyone was listening
the guy in that commercial has the biggest man boobs ever
maybe we just got the graphics from the red sox and changed the uniforms.
No other commentary on the mini sirloin burgers. I'm shocked. The car ahead of me and behind me in the drive through each ordered it.
Loney is a vacuum over on first. Nice play, James.
Wade is looking good. Come on Dodgers end this game!
wow - thank you Cory!
i love submarine pitchers.
does gonzo have some incriminating photos on loney, how many times is he going to ground it to him.
finally
there's the run
Good AB by Martin.
kemp swinging at junk again.
there's that 0-2 count again
kemps trying to give meredith a cold
do any of Clah's pithes rise above the knee?
Yo peeps
not really, submarine pitchers are always low in the zone
nice block by kemp on the throw
be a hero blake
Martin with a great SB. Come on, Casey!
casey at bat
and dum umps give him low strikes even they arent in the zone
is loretta on deck?
yay loretta!
It's Loretta time!
Blake earns a walk.
here comes Loretta!
i never got how playing "nobody walk in LA" after a walk made sense.
Ironic use, Nic.
Loretta: the anti-Sweeney
WP advances the runners!
Meredith pitching to Loretta. How sweet.
1-2 count. Yikes.
Martin to third on the WP, but that doesn't matter with two out, right? Russ is fast enough to leg out a single from second.
