Pickoff Moves
Cuisinarting A Can Of Worms: Angels 3, Dodgers 1
My phone chose the midway point between home and the Epicenter to run out of battery, so naturally I couldn't follow the Dodgers/Angels contest while I was there. The folks in the press box switched back every now and then, and so I was surprised to learn that incomplete product Santana had somehow managed to keep himself in the game long enough to get the win. Another instance of Jim Tracy putting worms in the Cuisinart for a lineup, and the same results; no matter how you fricassee, sautee, bake, roast, or condense it, the Dodgers are pretty much doomed so long as they're missing Milton Bradley and the usual suspects offensively.How To Pitch To Vlad
How do you pitch to Vlad? The correct answer is, it's kinda hard.An American League scout who sees a lot of the Angels said Guerrero must be pitched up and in with what baseball people call "a plus fastball.""Overall, though," the scout said, "there's no real place to throw to him, because the guy has no strike zone."
He called him, "Roberto Clemente, with more power. He's really one of the great right-handed hitters of the past 30 or 40 years."
Phillips agreed Guerrero can be pitched up and in, but pointed to his fist and said, "The hole to tie him up is that big."
...
"I don't know," Guerrero said, smiling at the effort at analysis. "I'm just looking for the baseball."
Where?
"Wherever," he said.
Roster Moves
- According to the Daily News, Drew's knee is feeling better after swinging a bat, and he could be in tonight's game.
- After a bad outing for Las Vegas, Odalis Perez will make another rehab start before returning to the Dodgers.
- Kelvim Escobar will finally get the elbow surgery he should have had done before the season, and will miss at least two months.
Comments:
Boy, to think the dodgers could have had Vlad Guerrero, but had to pass him up to secure McCourts highly levereged deal.
Now we get to watch JD Drew walk a lot instead.
Lucky us.
