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.

From the previous thread, there were more errors in 1941 than today because fields were not maintained as well and gloves were not as well constructed.

And to support the war effort and save on scarce rubber and leather, they used potatoes with painted red stitches as balls..

They did lay their gloves on the field and left them lying. The practice was stopped beginning in the 1954 season.

And the players were tired from having to walk to the ballpark after delivering milk in the morning to help pay the bills.

With the off-day Monday, why not pitch Kershaw tonight and move Lilly back to tomorrow?
Then you could throw Kershaw again Wednesday before the Thursday off-day next week.
Jon Weisman
It’s a fair question. However, based on the way he hit the wall in his last start, do we know if Kershaw still couldn’t benefit from the extra day off?

Colletti on Gordon:
“He has started off slow, and he’s not gonna start tonight .. give him a little bit of a break. We’ve put a lot on him – you’re going to be the starting shortstop for the Dodgers, you’re gonna lead off and you’re gonna be an everyday player – and it’s going to take him maybe a little while to catch up to that. His at-bats, they’ve gone back and forth a little bit. I think the last week has been a little bit of a struggle for him. Sometimes the game gets a little fast for him still, as it does with any young player. But I think as he starts to get some confidence, as he gets a couple of hits. I think he needs one good day, get a couple of hits, I think it’ll ease a lot of the pressure he’s feeling. I think once that starts, we’ll end up seeing what we saw last September, where he’s one of the better hitters in the game for what he does. Certainly, the power’s going to be a challenge, but we’re not looking for that. We’re looking for him to get on base, steal bases, create havoc, score runs and play great defense up the middle which is capable of doing and has done already.”

It appears as if Coletti’s benching him and not Mattingly.

Donnie2times B-day? Or just a good time for a present?

I don’t know. I think with guys like Gordon you just throw them in and let them adjust. I’m not sure sitting him is good for his confidence, and I know he is full of energy and champing at the bit to play. Any thoughts?

I think the Bison is turning into the Nosib.
Anonymous
I did notice that nosib was bison backwards but since the post made no sense to me I googled nosib anyway. I found nosib in the Urban Dictionary then was interested in whether Matt had a sib. I found this very detailed bio

The Bison makes it look easy.

Does Dee get credit for that one, even though he is on the bench?

Matt Kemp is a beast.
Anonymous
Ban the Bison. It is unfair. But I hate to see him have this kind of year without a good #two hitter. I looked up M. Ellis and he is not quite as pitiful as I thought——But just imagine—– Kemp deserves not to be an Ernie Banks.

Posting this question again:
I assume the Dodgers could put Alfredo Silverio on the 60-day DL if they needed a 40-man spot; or, is his recovery going well enough to make that a bad idea?
Anonymous
The problem (or at least one of the problems) with putting Silverio on the 60-day DL is that they would have to promote him to the major leagues, pay him the ML minimum, and his service time would count towards future arbitration/free agency deadlines.
Anonymous
So the Bison is just getting ridiculous here. I tuned in late and saw the score was 2-0 at the end of the first, and said, “Kemp must have hit a 2-run homer.” And then I checked espn.com. He can’t be stopped! I love it!

Will Kemp’s hot streak never end?
Kemp to Magic: “You and I are about to be partners.”

Everyone’s got to be happy with how Ethier is hitting lefties this year. Well, everyone on this blog anyhow.

Did I mention that I like Hairston at 3B?
Anonymous
Great—-grumpy old me clicked on the TV yesterday and saw Hairston look like he did something poorly and complained. And going back and forward this guy has done all kind of fantastic things at 3rd base, which is not supposed to be his forte. Makes me look like an—-never mind this is DT,one of my favorite places.

Loney with a leadoff double. Do not adjust my set.
underdog
Just chiming in to say:
Damn, Kemp, what can you say?
Terrific play by Hairston, to get deflection, recover and get speedy runner out by a mile at 2nd.
Ump’s zone quite small to start, added to Lilly’s walks, looks like it’s expanding now.
Good to see Jim Loney here today instead of the weaker hitting James Loney.
The Houston ballpark and its quirks annoy me–that left center indented corner seems like the entrance to a grain elevator shaft.
Go Dodgers!

The Pirates are behind the Cardinals 4-1 in the 9th. If the score holds like that, that would mean the Pirates would have started the season by playing 13 straight game where they neither gave up more than 5 runs or scored more than 5 runs.

Taut.

Imagine if that was gordon instead of rivera!!! The only thing keeping him from scoring was Kemp in the way. Maybe for the best! I’m afraid our scoring in the early innings vs. the late innings could get troubling.

sounds like we should have scored in that innings

Feeling nervous here. Astros keeping it close.
Jon Weisman
Stolen base and a ball hit off Lilly’s glove, and suddenly the Dodgers are in a jam.
Jon Weisman
Dodgers catch a break – Altuve doesn’t try to score from third on deep fly ball + poor throw by Rivera.
Anonymous
Jose Altuve is afraid of running for the cycle.
Jon Weisman
Hairston again! Holy cow. Very close play, though.

that is at least three runs that he has prevented with spectacular defensive plays.
leave him in, I say.

thought that one was getting through for an extra run

We need to hold them here. So far they haven’t shown much ability to score in the later innings. They seem to be to worn out.
