It was time on Monday. Let the kid play with the big boys.
He has been released!
I can't wait to see how this goes.
Just looked at the highlights. 2 singles and a huge play from right field. Wow. LA Ute - are you going to go see him soon?
Friday!

Can't leave 11 stranded and expect to win.
One less starting pitcher, but why a catcher

The Dodgers have nobody behind AJ Ellis. It is a huge drop off when he needs days off and he will need a couple a week.
damn, damn, damn

I thought nobody got hurt in baseball brawls
Maybe the Harang trade was a bit early?
Question for IPU, if you're monitoring this thread: even though it was a 1-run game, do you think Greinke intentionally threw at Quentin - keep in mind that San Diego sent one at Kemp's head earlier in the game.
A Dodger fan is trying to tell me there's no way the Dodgers would intentionally throw at a guy, putting him on base with no outs in the 6th inning of a one-run game. I think protecting your batters goes beyond the score, and that they likely had enough confidence in their ability to get out of the inning without any damage even if they put Quentin on base.
Any other actual baseball players on the board have an opinion?
Dan Patrick said today that a player who charges the mound should have an automatic 5-game suspension. I agree. What do you all think?

I'd make it 15.
Maybe pitchers should get a similar suspension for throwing at a batter. Lawyers would make money off the appeals process for both rules.

I don't think Greinke's pitch was intentional. The circumstances are extremely suspect for an intentional hit. Carlos Quinton should get a very long suspension for his actions. This isn't hockey, fighting is not a part of the sport and it should be punished harshly.
So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

The situation in the game give it context, especially it being a 3-2 count. Players know when to pick their spots and this is not a situation where a player would pick his spot.
Plus, Quinton gets hit a lot, it is part of his game to get hit by pitches. When you are purposefully trying to get hit, it seems pretty ridiculous to react like this.

Quentin was hit 17 times last year. He leans into pitches and never tries to get out of the way. He didn't lean into last nights pitch, he definitely didn't make an attempt to get out of the way. I hope Carlos gets a fastball to the face from Josh Beckett in the near future. It won't be next week. I have a hard time seeing Quentin playing at the Ravine during next weeks series.
What was I thinking?
Well at least we have Kershaw. He's fun to watch.

This is true. It is just the other nights that he doesn't pitch that gets me.
Lol. For now he's the pony we can find.

I hope this Hanley Ramirez injury isn't long term. He is killing it this year when not on the DL. This could be his 3rd trip this season.
The Dodgers are serious about getting out of the early 1960s. Huzzah!

Interesting. As long as they don't do away with the overall structure, I will be o.k. with some minor changes for fan experience. I can't wait for the season to start.
Kershaw is good, but is he that good?

Kershaw dominates Nats in returnWASHINGTON -- Clayton Kershaw returned from the disabled list on Tuesday night, and the Dodgers were thrilled to get him back. The Nationals, on the other hand, probably weren't exactly overjoyed to see the left-hander....

So far Kershaw has scattered 6 hits and given up only one run. Bottom of the 7th.
