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.

Don’t know what to make of this Herrera, but he seems better than expected. And this has been happenning with AAAA players from the Isotopes. He has been in the system a long time. Don’t scoff—-this is how AJ Elliss arrived, and this could be the Key/Core to this team.

Miles at short tonight for Alb., first time; regular Alb. ss Luis Cruz at 2nd.

Ariz. RHP Cahill actually doing very slightly better against LHH this season (8 starts); previous 2 seasons very slightly better the normal splits. Abreu 3 for 21 with 5 walks and 5 K’s but if season keeps up as it has that will turn around tonight.

Loney is producing again. It would be more apparent if fewer Dodgers were producing.

If both teams were so inclined, would anybody like a trade that included Gordon and Wright (Mets)?

There’s no way in hell that one of the two teams would be so inclined.

Whatever became of former Snakes P Chris Young?

The Princeton alumnus was with the Mets last year, and signed a minor league deal with them this year. He’s had some injury and surgery problems. He’s currently with their advanced A team in St. Lucie, where he has started two games this year, May 10 and May 16. He did not pitch in their game today.
.
When he was playing for the Padres in 2008-2010 alongside Will Venable, 8 percent of the team’s active roster went to Princeton. :)

He was never on Ariz but was a Padre.

replies to comments from earlier today:
Is the lefty Leach still with the franchise? He was released on May 6.
Anybody here know why Zach Lee was sent down to Ogden yesterday?
It was last Thursday when this transaction took place (see California League Transactions). Ogden’s first game is June 18 so this is a fiction usually used to shut down a player for a rest but since the article Jon linked says Lee is actually hurt maybe to avoid putting the player on the 7-day minor league DL. Confusing in the case of a starting pitcher who would get 4 days off in any case. What I don’t know is why some players are sent to Ogden before the season begins there and others are sent to extended spring training where, again the article Jon linked says, Lee actually is. Here is some info from the Quakes web-site not about Lee but to illustrate the point:
“Chris Reed has physically been with the Quakes for the whole season, but on
paper, he was sent to Extended Spring Training in Arizona almost three weeks ago to rest his left shoulder. Today,
Reed was placed back on the Quakes’ active roster and will obviously start tonight in San Bernardino. To make
room for Reed, the Quakes have sent Bret Montgomery to Extended Spring Training in Arizona. Montgomery had
pitched better lately, but his season-long numbers still weren’t very strong, as he carried an 8.74 ERA over 11
relief outings.”

Well I finally couldn’t stand listening to Mark Grace and muted the TV for the rest of the game…surprised I lasted this long

Can’t blame you, silence is definitely far preferable to the sounds of Grace and Sutton, who are horrible.

The channel 9 scoreboard was torturing us by adding phantom runs for the Dodgers. Weirded me out for a second.

One more based on earlier comments:
Gurnick wrote “Rubby De La Rosa visited the clubhouse before Monday’s game. De La Rosa said he is on schedule in his return from Tommy John surgery and hopes to be pitching in games by the All-Star break.”
Ruddy has a positive spirit.

So far this season, all five starters have been healthy, and three have been exceptionally effective. I’m not sure either of the other two would be dropped for Rubby. I’m guessing he would start out in the ‘pen. Although even there, I’m not sure there would be an opening; five of the seven relievers have been effective, a sixth is the only lefty, and the seventh might be dropped for Guerrier’s return before Rubby is back.
.
P.S. Thanks for the update, Mike.

So you are saying that Rubby can’t make the team? We are good. :-)

Is there anyone worse with 3-0 or 3-1 than James Loney?
Christopher Staaf
Why is Elbert on the roster again?
KT
because he is our only lefty out of the pen
Christopher Staaf
But lefties get hits off him a lot (except Carlos Gonzalez). I really hope we get a new specialist very soon.
KT
I agree…He doesn’t pitch well so get rid of him until we can get a lefty
KT
got a break there

DFA Loney
Okay, not really, but man does he have to be one of the most frustrating Dodgers this millennium. It’s a bit unfair since first-round picks who never make it to the majors don’t face the same scrutiny, but since he has been up with the big club for 6+ years now, it makes it that much more frustrating when he doesn’t reach his potential. At least Beltre had that last glorious year to erase all the previous ill-will.
Christopher Staaf
I have to admit, I had high hopes for Loney as well. I thought he could be a Mark Grace type (great glove, lots of doubles and .300 plus average). I guess at this point, Loney is who he is and we should just accept it until he gets traded for a real left handed specialist (I am hoping anyway).
Christopher Staaf
BTW, Beltre was 25 when he had his monster 2004. Remember he got called up when he was 19. Loney is 28 now. If he hasn’t figured it out by now, I don’t think he ever will. He will probably be stuck on average 1st baseman, at least at the plate.
Jason Ungar
average would be an improvement over what he has done the last 4 seasons. i’ll take avg.

Elated for the 5 big ones put up this inning…..
…
But, James Loney’s AB had me shouting profanity!
I was telling my wife…”If I’m James, I’m looking to jump on this first pitch. It’s gonna be a nice fatty. This guy is bummed he just gave up the equalizer… He’s going to try and get up in the count… Come on James, be up there ready to hit…. just be ready to absolutely crush this first pitch….”
….
1st pitch: perfect fastball right down the (male genitalia)…. with Loney totally taking all the way.
He wasn’t even thinking about swinging….
2nd pitch: off balance, swing, rally-ending DP…
….
There’s a “rythym:” to this game… Put a down payment on finding it Jemes!
PS – Love the defense, as always… but, man!
KT
Belli pitched well that inning….now that it’s a new ballgame do we leave him in for another round?

Roberts had a huge jump on Belisario, and could have gone in standing up had Kugel not struck out.

Well, I was hoping for Kenley to have a one-inning, four-strikeout save, but I’ll accept the actual results.

Wins like this brings teams closer together. Losses like this fractures teams. AZ was up big, then lost it. Then they took the lead again and their closer blows it. Hyperbole aside, this might be the last time we hear from the snakes this season. I hope so anyway. Enjoy the win, guys!

You don’ [mess] with DeJesus. Ivan DeJesus that is. Meanwhile, I cannot believe the Dodgers right now, just can’t. No Kemp? No problem.

If they did have Kemp, I feel like they’d be scoring 10+ runs in these games, though. But we’ll take these wins.

From 2 different profession writers, I have read that Colletti deserves credit for never giving up on Belisario. To me, this is nonsense. His quotes in the winter said if, and it’s a big if, Belisario makes it to spring training we’ll give him a uniform.
If De Jesus contributes enough that he gets noticed, I hope I don’t see Colletti getting praise for him.

Derrick Hall on Kirk Gibson: “What most people don’t know about Kirk Gibson is how intelligent he is. Everyone talks about how great he is, how competitive he is, but they don’t realize just how intellectual and prepared he is. He’s a strategist; he’s a few steps ahead of most people.”
Anthony Forkush
What in the world did I just witness? Wasn’t there a game in Arizona several years ago that the Dodgers won very much like this in the second half of the season? I know I am not hallucinating that, right?

Let’s not overlook Elian Herrera’s AB in the ninth, which got it all started. For a guy with no major league experience, he’s proved both versatile and selective.
