Miles, Ethier Propel Dodgers to Victory Over Fighting Rockies

Aaron Miles had two hits and three runs batted in, and Andre Ethier broke a two-week-long homerless drought (and a 5-for-33 slump overall) with a two-run big fly as the Dodgers defeated the Rockies 8-5.

Colorado got the scoring started in the second inning when Dexter Fowler scorched a ball into the hole between first and second to plate Chris Iannetta, who reached on a single earlier in the inning and moved to third on a Juan Nicasio double. However, it was all Dodgers from that point on as Miles and Ethier doubled and homered in succession to give Los Angeles a 3-1 lead. Two more would score in the sixth on a Juan Rivera double and a Dioner Navarro single. The bloodbath continued in the eighth when the Dodger bats BABIP'd recently-recalled Esmil Rogers to death (although, with some control problems, he certainly didn't help himself).

Despite Nicasio's issues, he had pretty decent stuff, striking out five and walking two in 5.2 innings. However, the five runs on six hits suggest his road woes are not behind him.

Troy Tulowitzki walked three times and missed a home run by about two feet in the eighth inning as Tony Gwynn Jr. made a leaping catch in the outfield. And those three hits in the second inning that were mentioned above? They were the only hits the Rockies had in the game until the ninth, when the Dodger bullpen decided to make things interesting by not throwing strikes.

At least the Rox showed some fight at the end, at least until Troy Tulowitzki swung at the first pitch of his at-bat, - at a ball above the letters, no less - and popped out with the bases loaded. Ugh...truly a battle of ineptitude in that last inning. To top it all off, Jason Giambi left the game with an apparent leg injury after reaching on an error by Jamey Carroll. We'll have to keep a close eye on that, as it could seriously hamper any trade value he may have had.

Tomorrow, Jhoulys Chacin will look to get back on track after a bad seven-walk outing against the Braves last time out. Unfortunately for him, he'll have to face Clayton Kershaw. Outlook =/= good.

And maybe the dude who runs the pitcher’s jacket back to the bullpen. I’m still down with him.

Great.

They’ll trade him away and bring up a jacket dude from the minors and he’ll be taking jackets and stuffing them in urinals and we still won’t win ballgames.

Maybe getting their jackets peed on will piss the team off

and they’ll go on a 30 game win streak

and everybody will proclaim O’Dowd a genius.

by Shoemaker on Jul 26, 2011 12:23 AM MDT up reply actions  

We're talking Rockies pitching, home of the Walkapotamus.

I’m assuming the safest place for stuff not to get peed on is in the urinals.

by everever on Jul 26, 2011 12:24 AM MDT up reply actions  

O'Dowd won't pull the trigger on this unless he can get at least one MLB ready pitching jacket guy in return.

and a case of good beer. I think the kid is safe for now.

I think they should get something for him now though. He’s been slowing down a bit it seems every time I see him live. I don’t want this to go the Hawpe/Atkins route.

Before you know it we'll have to cut him

and he won’t even be qualified to run jackets for the A’s.

Well if the Latin American scouting dept is worth it's salt we should be able to find a replacement for him in the DR somewhere....

and fast-track him/her to the Bigs pretty quickly. Kids down there learn to run around with jackets right around the time they learn to walk.

I really can't manage to care too much who manages the club.

Yeah sometimes I get mad at Tracy’s lineups or his pitching matchups, but I don’t expect everything would be constant rainbows and unicorns with someone else at the helm. If the organization feels that the team would respond better to a different manager, give it a shot, whatever. But at some point these guys are the ones earning their paychecks and they should be able to play for Jim Tracy about as well as anyone.

Perhaps we should have extrapolated more from 2009

We focused more on the fact that the team responded to Tracy than that it quit on Hurdle.

Looking back, maybe that was a warning sign of sorts….

i think we could have gotten like a tampa B- guy

they need a DH, and giambi has AL east experience, veteran, etc

the only organization of humans responsible for more evil in the universe than the philadelphia phillies is the boston red sox

i dont care if it's tracy's fault or not, i want heads to roll

We would’ve gotten no value for Giambi. Just filler

When it can't get any worse....it does.

Riding the rollercoaster that is Rockies baseball

Don't tempt fate.

Somebody else referenced the Mariners above.

It can certainly get worse.

Day after day, this season turns grey

Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown colder and
this team has grown older and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel another rockies loss coming on
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
