They pinch hit for him w/ a runner on and one out as it was a one run game @ the time (2-1).
Seeing how he is one of the best bunters on the team they should have let him hit and advance the runner.

agreed... seeing how punto screwed it up after uribe leads off w/ double. I assume the pinch hitter was supposed to bat w/ a guy on 3rd not 1st! Clayton had labored the last 2 innings though. Might not be a terrible thing to have a start where he didn't throw 110 pitches. Need a big game out of Nolasco tonight.
Shoot, if Mattingly needed to pinch hit for Kershaw, he should have sent Greinke up there. Dude's batting over .400!
I have medium expectations for Nolasco, I have never followed him so I am not sure what he is really like. It is more of a I don't want to be disappointed approach if he doesn't work out. But I am not rooting against him at all. I am just ignorant to his pitching accolades, is all.
I'm the same... didn't know much about him til he became a Dodger. All his starts have been decent for us so far. I have watched a couple and he seems to pitch backwards by featuring breaking stuff and then sneaking a 93mph fastball in. Have they said whether or not it's going to be Fife or Cap as #5 ?? I really like Fife... been a pleasant surprise this year.
Anybody watching last night? That was IN-SANE
Dee Gordon's fielding is brutal!
yes, surprised the Dodgers didn't punish him with a "Dee Gordon optioned to Albuquerque and Justin Sellers recalled from Albuquerque".
BTW, Dodgers just wrapped up another win -- this time 4-2 against the Muts. I'll have to check the standings in a few mins when they get updated to see how far the Dodgers are from having the best record in baseball. I'm guessing they can't be too many GB of that mark with their incredible run.
Looks like 2.5 GB of Boston and 15.5 games ahead of the vagiants!
