The June Dodger Thread

[KingsJohn/Obediah]

the boys in blue are back in town to face Colorado tonight

In other news, Jason Schmidt has another setback

Jason Schmidt upped his pitch count to 65 in his 3 2/3-inning rehabilitation start Saturday and consistently hit 91 miles per hour on the radar gun with likely only one start remaining before the clock on the 30-day minor league assignment expires.

But Torre believes Schmidt will need more time and game action in order to be ready for major league action. One way the Dodgers could extend the assignment is by reporting that Schmidt was hurt by a comebacker off his calf during the second inning of the game at Inland Empire, though Torre said it was "no big issue."

"We may go into simulation city," Torre said. "We'll see."

Torre also said that one way to work Schmidt back onto the team is by pairing him with 20-year-old rookie Clayton Kershaw, who the Dodgers want to limit in innings pitched.

i'm really not asking for much, really... hell, i would have been sated a little earlier if there was actually a coach in the major leagues who still believes in pitchers throwing complete games.

You know it! Dusty will let his starter throw 150 pitches if he isn't getting hit. Wood and Prior love him.

Speaking of Prior. Out for the season for the Pads.

Where's Catcherman and JackBarlow?

I'm starting to see shades of Jim Tracy. It's not like Ethier is hitting .032 against lefties this year. He's 4-17 lifetime against Francis and has a higher career BA against lefties than right handers.

and Kent not in the lineup tomorrow because it's a day game? i mean i realize that he's 87 years old but c'mon, has he become Mario Lemieux?

[pb2k]

**** Pierre. He sucks at the only thing he is supposed to be good at.

[pb2k]

Kent has been playing some pretty good 2nd base lately.

[pb2k]

Now Pierre's little girl arm costs a run. And Penny is **** again, what a shocker.
