Nomo Excuses, Hideo -- Better Start Winning
Jim Tracy, on Nomo's string of poor starts:
"I think it's to the point now where it's safe to say results are important," Tracy said. "We're in the middle of June now, and we haven't had a lot of success over the last six or seven starts, which includes before the fingernail was broken and the couple that we've had since that time. Sooner or later we need some results."Me, I think he needs to go down to the minors; the guess is that his shoulder hasn't returned to what it can be and he needs some starts there to clear it up.Tracy said the team doesn't have a lot of options to replace Nomo, who is still scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the New York Yankees.
Update: same quote in the Dodgers website.
Comments:
Rob;
Don't you think Tracy would be better served if he concerned himself more with the offensive lineup?
His refusal to move Green down or out, and Beltre up, forces all the pitchers to pitch a different game, one they are not always equal to. Green has been anemic in spite of his recent "phenomenal offensive turnaround" which consists of a few off field singles to go along with his double play balls.
I think Nomo has to go too, but that won't solve this team's problems. No pitcher wins consistently without run support.

That's actually a really good point. But Tracy refuses to deal with that obvious and continuing problem.
Anonymous,
In defense of Green, it's .362/.937 for him in June (and Beltre is hitting .224/.745).
