Quit defending Carlos Lee, JD.....he should have gone after that fly ball down the line with more effort then a turtle shows.
1-0 LA....Dodgers have scored in all 4 games in the first inning. DeWitt drives in 2 more off of Brandon Backe....way to grove one Brandon. |

This is why I could never be a Major League Manager. Darin Erstad would be in left field immediately after that play. And Carlos would probably pitch a hissy
and we wouldn't get any production out of him the rest of the year.

10 pitch inning for Billingsley. Billingsley has 45 walks in 96 innings entering this one.

If My Little Pony gets a 3 run jack later in the game as far as I am concerned he broke even on the game.
And I am nornally a Lee fan.

O.k I am not an OBP nazi, who thinks you should NEVER swing at a first pitch and that you have to work the count at the expense of all else. But the Astros
are just ridiculous the other direction.

8 pitch inning for Billingsley and 5 of those pitches were to Backe. I go for a bathroom break..come back and there's already 2 outs on 3 pitches.
Is this team trying???????????????? |

Let's be fair to Purpura. I don't think he would've signed Lee without Uncle Drayton's orders. This game is looking eerily similar to last night. |

O.k forget scoring....forget getting a base runner. Can we at least make Billingsley throw 12-14 pitches so there is a chance that he will break a sweat.
