We'll give you Feliz.

haha, no thanks, but i think at this point all of us would take beltre.

But laroche has looked pretty good for the dodgers so far.

I was okay with Izturis at 3rd but Sciocia has a boner for Figgins and always seems to get him in the lineup.

How about Gary Mathews Jr... without him and Reggie Willits, we'd be 3 games back. I'm looking forward to the Dodgers' series... that's always fun. I noticed that Grady Little adjusted the rotation so his 1,2,3, starters would pitch against the Angels... I guess he means business!

What scares me is that Ervin pitches on Friday against the Dodgers and they have HAMMERED him in the past...

Hendrickson is not a 1,2, or 3. Bomko's start is getting skipped and Lowe is pitching on Sunday. With today off that would have happened no matter who the Dodgers were playing this weekend.

Hendrickson is a 7... maybe an 8.

[TooCool]

The past 3-4 rotations had the dodgers going... Lowe, Wolf, Penny, Hendrickson, Tomko.

Here's coming up to this week's rotation.

5/10 lowe
5/11 wolf
5/12 penny
5/13 hendrickson
5/14 tomko
5/15 lowe
5/16 wolf

5/17 off day

So the next three days should be Penny, Hendrickson, Tomko. Instead, they're going with Penny, Hendrickson, Lowe.

Doesn't matter if the Dodgers want to use Lowe over Tomko. The only person getting screwed here is Tomko. I don't follow the Dodgers, nor the NL too much for that matter... so I don't know if they always adjust their pitchers due to off days. It would suck for the #5 pitcher though, if they miss their start just because of that.

I just know for the Angels... they don't change their rotations at all even if there are off days. But as an Angel fan, I don't really care. It's still going to be a 9 inning game, and that'll be that. I just hope the Angels come out on top

Not always, but we have done it--for example, the first week of the season we used a four-man rotation.

Who cares? They're still getting paid. Tell Tomko to stop sucking.

I'm glad I'm going Friday and not Saturday. I won't pay to watch Hendrickson.

Profound insight.

Like he will listen.

I'm getting to the game at like 5:30 and doing some tailgating. The sooner I can piss off Angel fans the better. Stop by and have a beer (or 5) if you happen to see me.

He's an Angel fan. Expect a whole lot more of this kind of baseball "knowledge" come Friday night.

I'm just getting out of my office downtown by 5... so I'll be lucky to make it to my seat before game time.

Definitely hitting Newport bars after the game though.
