Not Dead Yet
Filed under: Dodger Hill— Hill @ 1:37 pm
With the hunters knowing that both their quarries had won yesterday, the
Dodgers still managed to keep pace. Had they lost, I do believe that it would
have been very hard for the Dodgers to make the playoffs. Instead Kuo threw
another fantastic game, allowing only one unearned run while striking out
eight and walking two. Since becoming a starter, Kuo has only allowed more
than 1 run twice (two runs once, and five once thanks to a grand slam after
he left the game). He has struck out 29 batter while
walking only one. I am in favor at this point of having him make the Friday
start instead of Chad Billingsley. Kuo is as about as hot as you can get and
Billingsley was effective in his second start back but hardly lights out.
Dodger rookie pitchers combined yesterday to allow one unearned run, five
hits, two walks, and thirteen K’s. Nice, very nice. Oh yeah, some guy named
Nomar hit a walk off grand slam to win the game. I heard something about it
being his second in a week.
Jon sort of beat me to it but Brad Penny has had a rough second half. How
rough, you may ask. Well, let’s compare.
ERA WHIP HR K Walks
Penny 5.99 1.59 11 63 24
Lowe 3.15 1.19 5 58 15
Maddux 3.26 1.15 4 29 14
Bills 2.44 1.51 4 44 34
Kuo 2.63 1.13 1 36 9
Hendrickson 4.87 1.56 6 22 41
Sele 7.54 1.73 7 17 10
Penny is only outdone by Sele and would have been by Hendrickson had he not
been sent to the pen where he has allowed only one run in eight innings.
So what is his major malfunction? Well, it’s not his velocity that’s for
sure. Penny was hitting 96-97 on the radar gun in his last start as the
D-backs kindly splattered him all over the Ravine. But as Guillermo Mota
learned a few years ago a 100 mph fastball over the plate just means that it
leaves the park in a
hurry. Charlie Stiener and Rick Monday commented the other day that pitches
that Penny threw at 92-93 mph had a lot more movement to them. A number of
people have suggested that it’s Penny head that is the problem. I think that
it’s possible but whatever the reason Rick Honeycutt and Grady Little need
to do something to get Penny to pitch like he did in the first half (2.91 ERA
, 1.29 WHIP, 7 HR, 82 K). The Dodgers need him to nail his last start against
the Rockies. Penny has owned Colorado this year
with a 5-0 record and a 1.93 ERA. They need him to do that again on
Thursday.
Everyday that passes leaves the Dodgers with less wiggle room. Their crappy
series against the Cubs and the Pirates dulled any edge that the Dodgers had
on the division. Today the Dodgers fate is out of their hands as the Padres
and Phillies play while the Dodgers travel. Beginning tomorrow they must take
care of their own business and hope that one of two teams stumbles right in
front of the finish line.
By the way, the Giants are starting Jason Schmidt on the final day of the
season.
