Amazing

Dodgers will be happy to see Goldschmidt leave town, wow. To think they drafted him before he went to college. LOL!

Hopefully no one tells Towers how awesome Goldschmidt is. He might be inclined to trade him away for a backup catcher.

You can never have too many backup catchers.

The price of gold has gone up

I could have done without a leadoff double. Come on Bell, get it together quickly.

Bell gives up a leadoff double in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[Lefty]

One down, two to go with runner still on second.

2 down, 1 more out to go.

Goldscmidt fact that may only interest me: Since 2000, there have arguably only been four really good players taken in the 8th round by any team. Goldschmidt, Austin Jackson, Kevin Youkilis, and... Brandon Webb. Suffice to say that's been a pretty generous round for the Diamondbacks.

Nice post, NOT!

ESPN Blog Quote

This is from the ESPN LA blog, lamenting the Dodgers' woes:

The Dodgers are not exactly dealing with it well, so far, of course, not with a six-game losing streak closely followed by a seven-game skid. The Dodgers can hardly afford to lose games when Clayton Kershaw pitches, and Wednesday was one of those nights. Everything was headed in a happier direction before Kershaw threw a high fastball to Paul Goldschmidt and the scariest Dodger killer in baseball right now pummeled it into the left-field bleachers in the sixth inning.

Hell yeah!

That double was a fluke. The guy cued it off the end of the bat down the opposite line. Bell looked solid. Got ahead in every count.

I honestly don't understand why they don't just walk him. Gamble on Cody Ross.

I think we're going to see a lot more of this. Every great hitter has had protection. I doubt the name Cody Ross strikes fear into the hearts of very many managers at this point. We're gonna need somebody solid behind Goldschmidt if he's gonna have an All Star year. Maybe Ross will step up, maybe Kubel....

I'm hoping that when Hill gets healthy, we can move Goldy to the clean-up slot and put Hill behind him at #5. Hill is a great #3 but that can only work if Miggy is hitting well - as you would ideally want Miggy in the #5 slot. However, Miggy is nothing short of craptastic at the plate right now... I really don't have much faith in Kubel and I could see Ross hitting the 3 hole.

We could go with a line-up like this:

Eaton/Pollack
Parra
Ross
Goldy
Hill
Montero/Nieves
Gregorious
Prado
Pitcher...

Of course, when giving some playing time to guys like Chavez, Willie, Pennington, Wilson and Kubel - you would have to juggle things around... Additionally, Hinske is going to have to spell Goldy at First Base.

Absolutely, Hill is the guy. I wasn't thinking of him becuase he's out. He should be back soon. They only put him on the DL15 so they must expect him sooner than later.

Maybe Goldy 3 and Hill 4? Rotate Didi, Eaton, Parra and Pollack at 1,2 depending on who's hot.

Think the Dbacks might trade an OF once everybody gets healthy?
