The Dodgers rotation this spring has been the opposite of what it's supposed to be. The rotation is supposed to be the strongest in the league. However it's still only spring. Brad Penny is having the worst spring out of all the pitchers. Brad has been rocked his last three outings. He's been rocked hard. Everyone will be quick to point out the fact that Penny always starts spring in the same manner, lousy. But, it was purported that this was a different Brad Penny. A new slimmed down, splitter throwing Penny. Not the same old 5 innings, hot headed Penny. It's going to be interesting to see how Penny goes from here on. If he continues to struggle, I doubt there will be any takers for him on the trade market. Maybe Ned Colletti made a mistake in not trading him during the off season. Then again, he could turn it around, and have a career year. Penny is an enigma that will never be solved. He has all the talent in the world, but can't do anything with it. It might be time to cash in Penny's chips. As for the rest of the rotation, Lowe has been himself, and that's always a good thing. Jason Schmidt is showing us why he deserved his huge contract, and Randy Wolf is looking better and better every outing. As for the 5th starter, it still has not been decided. Chad Billingsley has been terrific this spring. As has Hong Chih Kuo. The only question with Kuo is his durability. Then there is Brett Tomko, and Mark Hendrickson. Enough said. Hopefully the rotation will be the strong point, and carry the team. The rotation has the talent to do it. All they have to do is follow through.
As for the little league team, we won. On Saturday, we beat the White Sox 15-4. It's great to see hard work pay off.
BELIEVE IN BLUE!
