Pickoff Moves
DH Rule In The Minors
Something that's always puzzled me is the use of the DH in the minor leagues: why is it sometimes used but not others? I dropped Bill Valentine, GM of the Angels' AA affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, a line on this. His response is that the DH is always used unless both teams' parents are National League teams. Thanks for the tip, Bill.Dodgers 4, Mets 2
Another no-decision for poor Odalis. Can we just nickname him "No-dalis"?"I know it's another no-decision, but I left down a run and we came back and it was big for us to win the game," said Perez. "I said after the last game, I don't worry about it. I'm a good pitcher. I made the adjustment."Yes, OP, you are that. 42 and 5-5 for Belly. MVP? It's hard to make the case that Bonds isn't the NL MVP, but the mechanics of voting being what they are, if the Dodgers make it to the postseason, its conceivable the vote split if two Cardinals get a nomination would be sufficient to let Belly slip in.
The Giants lost to the Braves, 9-3, and so the Dodgers regain a five-game lead atop the NL West.
Astros 7, Cubs 6
The Cubs continue to sputter. After an 8-2 streak since August 10th, the Cubs' ran into an Astros team fighting for its life. Carlos Zambrano, who had been one of the Cubs' most reliable starters, gave up seven runs, three earned, in five and two-thirds innings. Three errors, including one by Zambrano himself, caused four runs to cross the plate.The Cubs are now fourteen games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central, and lead the NL Wildcard race by one game.
Shameless Pitching
BaseballOutsider dropped me a line about their just-launched radio program, Outsider Radio. Well, there's no radio -- yet, anyway -- but the production values are amazingly high quality for a no-budget show. This week's episode includes an interview with Dodger Thoughts author Jon Weisman, and it's worth the listen.
