There will be no announcement on discipline from MLB today, according to a baseball source.
— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) June 12, 2013
Yasiel Puig has become a True Dodger as he was scratched with an undefined leg injury strained right shoulder. Alex Castellanos gets the start in right field. Tonight’s cleanup hitter: Jerry Hairston!

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.

Any word on whether or not he can pinch hit?

Puig is “day to day.”
Eric Enders
But then, aren’t we all, as one of our old friends likes to say.

Hopefully, not in the way that Hanley is.
Jack Dawkins
Did he strain his shoulder trying to throw one of those haymakers last night?
Anonymous
If it’s something other than that, I would be very surprised.
Jack Dawkins
Steve Lyons seems to think that is the case.
Linkmeister
THERE’S a credible source! ;)

This team sure packs some drama.

Don Mattingly told reporters on Tuesday that Puig was “a little sore” from the brawl, per Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register.
Puig “took 5 swings of batting practice walked off field threw his bats
and helmet in dugout then walked to clubhouse with trainers,” per Vincent Bonsignore of the Los Angeles Daily News.

Eric Young, Jr was DFA’d by the Rockies today. I think it’s time for the Dodgers to claim another short utility man.

When looking to see why Ethier is hitting 6th in THIS lineup (1-9 vs. Corbin w/ 5K explains it), I noticed our best BA vs. Corbin belongs to Stephen Fife, with 1 hit in 1 AB.
Anonymous
5, 7, and 8 all moved up in the batting order but Andre stayed at 6, Castellanos at now at 8.
Please keep in mind this comment of 7 hrs ago: “We’ll see what kind of leader Mattingly is today. A good one will be able to channel that energy into on-field production.”
This comment was reprinted approvingly 6 hrs ago to my amazement.

The Australia games were officially announced today by the Dodgers, DBacks, and MLB. Arizona will be the home team for both games. So Kershaw vs. Corbin on March 22 in Sydney. Then Greinke vs. Kennedy the next day.

Yesssssssssssssss.
I have a problem:
If I can only go to 1 game, do I go see our best in action or do I go see Brawl part 2 :)
Anonymous
I don’t know whether you’re being facetious, but it would make more sense for each team to have one home game.
Anonymous
Nope, both games are Arizona home games. I doubt the Dodgers would have given up two home dates. Arizona likely doesn’t care as much. The Dodgers will be the drawing card in Australia, even if Arizona finishes this season with a far superior record.

The Dodgers sure will be!

Have their been any other Aussies on Arizona besides Trent Oeltjen?

Not sure, I didn’t realise Moylan was an Aussie until the other day!

I just got home from umpiring a youth baseball tournament game. No brawls. And then I saw our lineup. Ouch.

then you missed RH dropping a one hop strike from JH jr. to let ross score…score should be 1-0

Thanks. Sounds like some of the plays I witnessed tonight.

Now to bring him home and tie this game

PUNTO!

Bottom of the order getting it done!
On Ryu’s triple, I bet almost half the guys on the team would have had an inside the park home run.

Watching it live, it felt like a slow motion replay the way he was laboring on the way to third.

I was wondering why the starkly different organ playing the last 2 nights, and turns out Nancy Bea’s husband’s having heart surgery and is out. Whoever the sub is has quite a different style and repertoire – and is playing a lot more than she does, including in between pitches and after the 7th inning, two instances in which she does not. Which ends my “Let Nancy Bea Play” campaign; she just doesn’t want to, bless her.
David Farinella
Really curious to see Withrow pitch. He’s gotta come in next, right?

If he does – I’m glad he gets to come in at the start of an inning and not with the bases loaded.

Another “quality start” by a Dodger hurler without a win. At least Ryu won’t lose it.

Stuff looked good, he was just picking at corners too much. Then he seemed to lose control.

Montero’s blooper which drove in Goldschmidt to tie the game is called a line-drive on gameday.
Never noticed that bad a mistake there.

True, but at least he didn’t hit a ground ball with two strikes.

Am I correct in thinking that by PH-ing Hanley here, they can now no longer put him on the DL, retroactive to 5 or 6 games ago, or however long it’s been?

Hanley had last played on Saturday, so he had missed only three games (Sunday, Monday and yesterday).
Jeffrey Thomas III
He better start a game this weekend or they’re going to look real dumb for not putting him on the DL.
Anonymous
they think he will play on Friday; but the Dodgers’ medical staff wants to be certain the swelling in Ramirez’s left knee and hamstring goes down so he can run without
discomfort before clearing him to play.
Jeffrey Thomas III
According to Ken Gurnick Puig was warming up last inning with a bat in the dugout before the Dodgers chose to use Hanley. Why wouldn’t you then use him for say Shumaker?
Anonymous
not dramatic enough
Jeffrey Thomas III
Maybe if Adrian gets on…
Edit: Never mind.

Hanley played in 2 games for the Red Sox in ’05; struck out once in each of 2 games late in season. Then, traded to the Marlins in Nov. in a 4 for 3 trade that brought Beckett, Mike Lowell, and old friend G. Mota.
Mota had gone to the Marlins from the Dodgers along with Paul Lo Duca and Juan Encarnacion for Hee-Seop Choi, Brad Penny, and Bill Murphy.
Murphy never played for thr Dodgers; but, was part of the trade that brought Steve Finley.

This is the first game this season that Gonzalez has struck out three times.

He’s looked lost the whole series.

Don’t they let fans come into the good seats behind home plate this late in a game?

no way to get there unless you are already in the good seat area

it looks bad with so few fans there imo

I think that there is a larger percentage of true fans in other, less expensive sections of the stadium.

I meant there behind home plate.

It’s like the Dodgers are using Puig tonight as the anti-closer. Only use him if they have fallen behind in the game…

Okay, now bring in Guerrier. He’s loose, right? Sigh.

The two-out, two-run single allowed by League proved to be the coup de gras.

Was that the 16th loss by our bullpen?

Is League ready to go on the DL? Surely, he must have at least one sore hamstring. Perhaps Belisario has one as well. Everyone else seems to have one on this team.
