He started doing it in the third inning, IIRC. Cooper asked him about it from the dugout, & Freddy just basically yelled back he was gonna run with that. He had a lot better control going that way, so it seemed to work.

That was more nerve wracking than a 4 run win should be. Great game Jermaine. Great game Paulie. Good work Bobby, Neal, Freddy from the Stretch.

He gawn! On the Hammer! Ballgame.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) I know this is about the Texans and Williams but I'd love to see Tennessee draft Young over Leinart, but with Norm Chow at Tennessee now I'd be surprised if they drafted Young. That's really been the rumor over the last few days, a lot of people have Leinart falling. But with this mess, who the Hell knows.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) he's still playing? He's trying to teach the young Dodger catchers how to be catchers. Navarro & Russel Martin eventually.

Here comes the big guy.

Figgins with a long flyout to B.A.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) I like the move; if Cotts is hot, leave him in. Looks like he's tiring a bit to me.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) I was stunned at how poor their entire team's bat speed looked vs the Cubs. It's not just their bats.

By the way, if Vlad comes up, we better see #45.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) Wow, Oz has a hunch? Leavin Cotts in? He wants the lefty in to face Figgins. Makes some sense to me, turn himi around.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) What's been wrong with them? All I saw was when they played the Cubs. Furcal looked like he ate a little kid. Thome and Konerko could steal bases against Dioner Navarro, and they just haven't seemed smart on the basepaths either. Furcal's off to another slow start, and Lofton and Furcal are their speed.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) We have got to be the worst base running team in baseball. I've never seen a team make it look so hard to steal a base, while making it seem so hard to throw someone out. You really need to watch a few Dodgers' games.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Looks much better than he did. He's showing a better eye, and taking more confident swings. He's getting close, he's just not there yet. He's drawing some walks, but the balls just aren't falling for himi yet.

Anderson flies out to Erstadt. 2 down.

BA fouling off a few, workign the count.

Foul ball aimed at the Hawk.

Jenks is up.

Uribe walks on a low pitch, just barely low. 2nd walk of the game by Yan.

Full count on Uribe.

Credepopsitup by the way.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) Thanks for the summaries Now the question is ... do ya leave Cotts in? If Thornton was available I'd consider using him just for 1 or 2 batters so that I have the lefty pitching to Figgins and have Jenks ready to face Cabrera if someone gets on.

Molina with an easy lineout to B.A. Excellent inning for Cotts.

0-2 on Jose Moooolina.
