Los Angeles Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals, Aug 7, 2008 2:15 PM EDT


Kershaw Lohse
1-3, 4.02 13-3, 3.73

kershaw, you may recall, made his big-league debut against the cardinals in may and pitched pretty well, yielding two runs and 6 baserunners in 6 innings while striking out 7. he has had a very unlucky year. at double A this year he has made 11 starts with a 1.91 era, 0.95 whip, and 0 homers allowed in 61+ innings . . . . but just a 2-3 record. in 11 starts for the dodgers he hasn't been bad at all --- 4.02 era, and an opponent batting line of .278 / .366 / .390 --- but he only has 1 win, which came a couple of starts ago vs the nats. he's gone 6 shutout innings in each of his last 2 starts. kershaw combines high strikeout rates with high groundball rates, a la chris carpenter and brandon webb; if he's on, he will be a tough assignment for the st louis offense.

lohse in st. louis this year: 2.92 era and an opponent line of .225 / .270 / .357. lohse on the road: 5.16 era and an opponent line of .335 / .374 / .500.

Lineup....

Izturis, SS
Mather, CF
Albert, 1B
Lud, RF
Glaus, 3B
Lopez, LF
Larue, C
Lohse, P
Miles, 2B

Wow, those last 4 are sexy, aren’t they?

by goodymobb on Aug 7, 2008 2:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

you know you wish you could grow a 'stache like Larue

or have GRIT like Miles
or Pitch like Lohse
or.. uh… don’t have anything for Lopez

FWIW....

I CAN grow (and have grown) a ‘stache like Larue….but only for very special occasions (e.g., a trip to the local dog track; a departmental chili party).

Miles’ GRIT is well out of my reach.

Aside from.....

Molina, how can we have put a better lineup out there?

I bet we score 5+ runs today.

I actually don't mind the lineup tonight

I can’t rememer the last time LaRue started, but I want Molina for the Cubs.

I hate Lopez, but Skip’s defense doesn’t make up for his lack of offense against Lefties.

Iz2 is actually a legit threat against lefties.

We won’t score much, but this is the best lineup we can field.

Sadly, you’re right. Yuck.

The frustrating thing is that you KNOW you’re gonna get some “throwaway” lineups when TLR is your manager, so you roll with it. What is irritating is that this isn’t even necessarily a “throwaway” lineup…it’s the best thing we have.

I'd say having Yadi and Ankiel

in there would be the best we could have.

How about we just watch the game and judge him (or at least nickname him) solely based on first impressions.

just because I don't have anything better for a guy I pretty much know nothing about

doesn’t make Fe-Lo a good nickname. For crying out loud, Fe-Lo (Filo) is a type of bread/pastry.

Maybe I’m looking at different stats for Cesar…...

by goodymobb on Aug 7, 2008 2:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

not according to the splits from ESPN.com's gamecast link....

Cesar sports a .286 avg hitting right-handed (which is a good bit better than his .199 from the other side), with a .350 OBP (and a .698 OPS fwiw).

Granted, if you’re gonna play Cesar, you want him hitting RH. I just hate our plethora of MMI.

He's hitting .308/.374 as a RHB vs. LHP

just trying to get Glaus going….with Albert and Lud behind him, he would see the easiest pitches possible

by hockeyno93 on Aug 7, 2008 2:42 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Its a common thought to

put a guy in front of Pujols to get him better pitches and increase his production. I’m not necessarily against it in this case, but we shouldn’t get in the habit of having whoever is slumping at the moment in the 2-hole.

What’s the largest number of switch hitters in a starting lineup?

I realize Izturis isn’t in it, but if he was, and Lopez was in LF, that would give us 3 today with Miles at 2B.

1985 Cards

I do not know your answer but…

The ‘85 Cards had 5 regular switch hitters – Herr, Ozzie, Pendleton, Willie and Vince.

according to baseball-reference. Joaquin Andujar was a switch hitter… not that I bothered to know this.
