Nomo Good, But No Win: Diamondbacks 3, Dodgers 1
The one part of the trade, however, that I'm increasingly inclined to criticize, is Choi. Not necessarily the need for the player so much as the player's play to date. As a Dodger, he's hitting .174/.322/.261. Whether he's pressing, needs more time in the minors, or is just this year's version of Greg Brock, something needs to give, and it's his playing time. Sure, I'd love to see him thrive, but the fact is he's not producing. After a month, it's "sayonara" or whatever it works out to in Korean.
Brandon Webb has recovered nicely from his awful May (6.55 ERA), posting a 3.62 ERA overall. Some guys just go through sophomore slumps, and as those go, it could be a lot worse. The Snakes took advantage of a shaky Nomo, who simply wasn't fooling much of anybody in the third inning tonight. He somehow got out of it, but the Dodgers offense was absolutely stymied by Webb and two quality relievers, Koplove and Aquino, the same pair that flummoxed them last night.
