- Eric Stephen at True Blue LA discusses, "The Hanley Ramirez plan".
"Whatever we have to do to get him right," Mattingly said. "It's going to be a matter of keeping him sharp but getting plenty of rest."
- "High-stakes call in Arizona pads case for replay," via Barry Bloom at MLB.com. Replays showed it was an obvious bad call. Sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles.
"It changes the game right there," Mattingly said after his club's clinching party was delayed at least one more day because of the 9-4 loss to the D-backs. "It would have been 4-3 with [one] out. Yeah, it would have been great to be able to use [replay]. Nothing against the umpires, but all we want to do is get it right. Let's get it right."
- "Missed opportunities, managerial miscues and celebrations delayed," via Tony Jackson at Dodger Scribe. Tony has some hard criticism on Mattingley's managerial decisions.
- I love this. "Adrian Gonzalez ejected for telling umpire to hustle," via Eric Stephen at True Blue LA. You gotta keep the umpires on their toes.
Gonzalez was standing on second base after what he thought was an RBI double that would have brought the Dodgers to within 4-3. But Young was called out at home plate. Not by home plate umpire Joe West, but rather by first base umpire Jim Joyce, as the umpires were on a rotation with a ball hit into left field.
Gonzalez didn't think Joyce was in proper position to make the call.
"He's got to go from first base to home," Gonzalez said. "I was more mad that he was not in position to make the call. It's not that he wanted to get it wrong, it's that he didn't see it."
