What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

Can’t decide whether I want him to or not..

I wish Hairston could be in LF, and that we saw AJ instead.
Aside from that, perfect, given our resources.

Who plays third?

Josh Fields. ^response to NB12
617 bowl game yards for OSU, btw.

Why haven’t we given him a chance yet? Too much invested in Uribe?

I’m at risk of rule 8 on this one… ;)
Plenty of cyberink here and at trueblueLA on the subject.

Understood. Count me on the bandwagon and enough said.

From previous thread: I think y’all are forgetting that there was a best-of-three playoff series between the Milwaukee Braves and the Dodgers in 1959. The Dodgers won Game 1 behind Larry Sherry in relief and won Game 2 in the 12th on a Felix Mantilla throwing error trying to get Furillo at 1st base.

3-2 after 1, or should I say (2-3). Sounds like a wild one already. But not sure if that is a good thing.
KT
Good eye Bobby
Nice hit Mark…Come on Matty

Jerry Hairston Jr. has pumpkined at third base, just like he warned us, I guess.

Agreed with Jerry Hairston Jr.
Johan lookin wild…

just foul juan…straighten it a little…almost a granny

As he apparently doesn’t like playing third, perhaps Unhappy Hairston should be in left field instead.

Abreu had the best #’s against Johan on the team
KT
Good inning Aaron

During his long major league career Hairston has played every position but pitcher and catcher. His fielding percentage at third base is by far the lowest of any spot he has played.

I think it’s his only negative uzr by position, as if I know what that means.

Cruz’s ball would have been out of here without the recent modifications (fences being moved in)

In his 69th major league game, Luis Cruz has hit his first home run. In 12 years in the minors, he hit 96.

This unfortunate inning is confirmation that the new ownership is correct in their impression that it is not the time to make a big trade for results this year.! We have a profusion of good relievers who are unhittable—but also unable to find the plate( that is their command and control is suitable only for short relievers, however this is decided!).. I am content with the new ownership statement—that any trades must have long term good involved.

Completely agree. Kasten and Magic are business guys, and I don’t expect them to go out and blow a ton of their money in the first year. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a move, maybe two, but nothing too drastic. Very happy with their foreign scouting and farm system building…

The Dodgers tonight remind me of a very tired boxer who is ahead on points and trying to stay on his feet through the remaining rounds and avoid being knocked out.
KT
Nice hustle Dre

NB12 I’m used to using a veteran being way ahead of using a youngster at this point. I think it is Colletti( and Giant philosophy). Personally, I would prefer Josh!
That 7th run by Ethier did turn out to be huge. I hope the Dodgers hang on. But they hung on so many times in the early going that they seem to be at deficit for luck. I would love to have a team so talented that I could disregard luck.

When I see Uribe at bat I know we need a huge amount of luck, and are likely to lose!

Loney is now paying Rivera and Uribe $5000 for each time they have an ugly at-bat to keep Mattingly from continuing to think Loney is the most guilty regarding the Dodger offense. Rivera and Uribe are getting richer.
Joe Hunter
Uribe just posed like he hit the ball out and it didn’t even reach the warning track.
KT
and eric collins called that way for a while
Anonymous
It all starts in the mind and then moves to the physical. Uribe must have talked with Phil Jackson.

Why? Just why?

I know that we have far greater needs than acquiring a better hitting back-up catcher, but Treanor is now 0-for-23. As for Uribe, he is now 1-for-38, but you knew that.

Anybody think Matt steals this base?

I didn’t see your post but my answer would have been no because of the wet cold conditions

Good call. Always hard to justify stealing with Ethier hitting behind him.
Go Kenly.

Can we talk Casey Blake out of retirement? Seriously.

I think so too. He’s pulled off some nice plays at third, I don’t think hes incapable…

I second Casey Blake.

J Fields has a similar profile to Casey in some ways – clearly talented multi-sport guy from flyover who has been stuck in the minors forever for no really good reason. Casey finally came up at around the same age.

That man cannot be allowed to attempt to play third base. Ever. Again.

Now it’s clear why he’s not comfortable there, anyway.

Got it! Kept pace, good day. Not a bad Harang outing, and Kemp seems to have welcomed himself back.

foul tip
Maybe the Dodgers could make some kind of history and see if Cey would unretire. Even at his age he’d probably hit better than UribKkennedy and throw better than Hairston….
foul tip
Could be the team is looking at Eric Threets as a possibility for second lefty in the pen. Threw an inning for Abq last night.
At first glance his numbers over 44 IP for Sacramento this year appear decent. Did pretty well for White Sox in 2010 over just 12 IP…but who knows?
Opted out of his Sacramento contract and signed with Abq Wednesday, best I can tell.
