Whoo, Victor got the job done. Nice.

 

 

I don't like the way Bill and Daron were so condescending toward Antonio Perez during that at-bat. It's not their job to be the "good behavior police" and make moral judgments about players on the field.

 

EDIT: This crap about an anonymous source saying that the Dodgers "lack heart" is hogwash, too. Totally unprofessional.

At some point Yost will learn that relievers pitching on five or six days rest tend to struggle. If it happens to the closer (Turnbow), it's definitely going to happen to the young guy with control issues.

 

C'mon, Jorge!

 

EDIT: Jorge has no business in the big leagues. Yet I know we can't pass him through waivers. This sure is frustrating watching him throw ball after ball once again

 

If he hasn't pitched in a week, can you really expect him to be sharp? He's started every five days in the minor leagues for the last four or five years, and suddenly his usage pattern is significantly different.

 

Instead of giving him high-leverage innings once every week, why not give him some lower leverage innings every few days?

If Wise is coming in now, why didn't he start the inning? I just don't get it. Jorge is used sparingly, and then we he *is* used its a very high-pressure situation and he's yanked after a walk and a weak grounder to second.

 

If I was Jorge, I'd be frustrated and confused.

come on guys. You're treating Jorge like a victim. He's our second best lefty in the pen, and our 4th best lefty on the staff. The long men in the pen aren't supposed to get regular work. They're supposed to work hard to keep themselves ready whenever called upon. Lately Yost has tried getting him into these late inning situations to start an inning, because we haven't had starters struggling. If Jorge's role is the 6th inning, and our starters keep going 7 and 8, he'll never get work. The simple fact is that Jorge isn't doing his job.
