Game 45: Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies 6:1
I've only just managed to watch the condensed game and the first thing that jumps out at me is how lucky Jae Seo was. He seemed to be in trouble in the first couple of innings, looked pretty hittable (mind you, given the format of condensed games) and got a break with two (was the other one also with Seo on the mound?) outfield assists.
Well, good teams get lucky - the thing is, it was probably the first game this season that the Dodgers got a lucky break. I'll take it:
(1) Let me pose this question once again: why do you think Odalis Perez is stuck at the far end of the bullpen? As far as I remember he appeared in only one game since his comeback from the Dominican Republic? Why? (not that I advocate overusing Perez, no ;)). Game 45 would have been great to give him a shot in the late innings...
(2) Jeff Kent was hitting the ball very hard last night even when he made outs (1-for-3 with 2 BB). Is this a sign of him coming round to decent .BA at long last? (.247 at the moment)
(3) Since Franquelis Osoria is down in Vegas, ladies and gentlemen please welcome the first edition of the Joe Beimel Watch: 1.0 IP, 2 hits plus a crucial DP groundball, and a SO to go with it. Current ERA: 2.51. Cruise control if you asked me...
(4) Tonight's game vs Rockies could feature a pitcher's duel: we send the bad-backed Brad Penny against the would-be COL ace Jason Jennings. If we snatched this one from the visitors, we might be in for another sweep. I truly hope the Dodgers keep their winning ways up until I'm in town very soon :).
