Dodgers

(31-28, 13-17 home)

 

10:10 PM ET, June 3, 2014

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California

Starting Pitchers

Chicago: Noesi (0-4, 5.83 ERA)

Los Angeles: Haren (5-3, 3.28 ERA)

Haven't started a game day thread in a while. Hope the bats come alive and we can get one.

Who wants to bet Dunn starts for Viciedo and not De Aza?

Haren is a magician. It doesnt make sense for him to remain successful with the amount of velocity he has lost

Play some DDDDDDDDDD tonight.

One of the most frustrating games of the year yesterday hopefully team can bounce back tonight.

It sure as hell was - and of course - I was there.

Mark Buehrle anyone?

Who's that. Never heard of him.

Some old guy on the Blue Jays.

He was filthy over his final 15 starts last year (and 1 relief appearance) - .228/.271/.355/.626, 3.29 ERA, 8.6 K/9, 1.8 BB/9, 0.9 HR/9, 1.05 WHIP. Not quite the same as this year, but it's been close.

 

He is command is still phenomenal and he mixes his fastball, cutter, and splitter well enough that he can get away with the few mistakes he makes, except to guys like Abreu.

It's on WGN tonight. Let's ply better D and win one for me as I have no luck on TV

Mark Buehrle anyone?

 

Um, no. Buehrle always sat in the high 80s. Haren used to be mid to high 90s and now throws about as hard as Buerhrle.

 

Haren was absolutely devastating when he was with St Louis and Oakland

I would rather have Gillaspie batting 3rd still and have Abreu batting clean up.. Better chance more people are on base for him

I'd rather he take Beckham's spot at #2. Shouldn't better hitters with higher OBP hit higher in the lineup? Am I missing something?

Corner outfield defence could be special tonight

Eaton not doing much of anything setting the table lately.

Sox 2-0 Abreu is a MONSTER!

Woot Wooot !!

Unreal

 

Do some trades that mainly just take on dough, a la liriano/youkilis/myers. I am buying in.
