June 14, 201214 yr First pitch of the game Leake should throw one right between the numbers of Choo's back. Should make for an interesting game today. I expect some fireworks and not from HRs.
June 14, 201214 yr First pitch of the game Leake should throw one right between the numbers of Choo's back. Should make for an interesting game today. If it were Cueto, Bailey, or Latos I'd guarantee there would be fireworks. Leake is too soft to do it IMO.

June 14, 201214 yr After the game, Lowe insinuated that Baker has been instructing his pitchers to throw at him for the past five seasons due to a grudge that dates to Lowe’s final year with the Dodgers in 2008. “Dusty will deny it,” Lowe said. “I have zero respect for the guy — not that it matters. I imagine he’d say the same about me” … The 39-year-old Cleveland starter hinted at an incident that was never made public during his time in Los Angeles, but he was not willing to offer up specific details. You would think 1 of those times in the last 5 years Lowe would have actually got hit if this was the case :lol: Lowe sounds like he is a little paranoid about getting hit by a pitch
June 14, 201214 yr From another article... "This goes back to my last year with the Dodgers. ... You can go ask [baker] right now, and he'll say he has no idea what you're talking about. But just watch the game. Mat Latos has nothing to do with anything that has gone on. How would he know? Why in the [world] would you throw a 96 mph fastball, first pitch, inside to a pitcher? Ask him." "They've been trying to do this for years," Lowe said of Baker, "but I always came up with men on base. It's the first time it came up with no one on base. That's why I was pointing at him, because I knew why it happened. He shook his finger like he had nothing to do with it. I guess Mat Latos just figured he'd hit me to lead off the fifth inning on his own." :lol::lol::lol:
June 14, 201214 yr Here’s what Baker said: “He had some words for me. I really didn’t want to make a public thing or a public spectacle. He’s the one who brought it up. He had some choice words for me. I really don’t care if he respects me. It doesn’t matter. “No. 1, you’ve got to ask him why he hit Joey Votto in the back two years ago. Yesterday, he took exception to a ball inside that didn’t hit him, then hit Brandon Phillips after that. “I’m not denying nothing. I didn’t order anyone to hit him. I told (Mat Latos) to buzz him and make him uncomfortable. That’s what happened. Nobody hit him. Then he hit our guy. “What he was talking about was something that he said and did a few years. You got to ask him what that was. You got a lot people involved in the situation that didn’t need to be involved in the situation. It didn’t come from there. “Go ask him since he made it public. Understand what I’m saying. I’ll let it rest at that since he’s such a big man running his mouth talking about himself.” It really got ugly when a reporter asked Baker if it bothered him when a player says he doesn’t respect you. “Man, I don’t care,” Baker said. “A lot of people don’t respect me. He don’t respect himself. The word was whatever he did and said probably there was a good chance he was drinking at the ballpark and he don’t remember what he said or what he did. OK. “When he said I shook my finger at him to say I didn’t have nothing to do with it. It wasn’t to say I didn’t have anything to do with it. It was to say: Don’t mess with me or my team. That’s what that means. He better learn sign language. OK. “I’m done with it.”
June 14, 201214 yr First pitch of the game Leake should throw one right between the numbers of Choo's back. Should make for an interesting game today. I expect some fireworks and not from HRs. Winning comes first. Leake needs to concentrate on getting outs, not putting lead off batters on base.
June 14, 201214 yr For what it's worth, I've heard some gossip that there is something going on with Dusty and Todd Frazier. I've heard the two really don't speak to each other. I was told to watch after Frazier hits a HR, that Dusty, and him never smack hands, or give the first bump like Dusty does with the other players. Like I said just some gossip I heard, but is something I'll try to watch for next time. Tracy Jones had a lot to say about this one their afternoon show one day last week. He thinks that Dusty is purposely trying to keep Frazier from getting/staying hot in order to not have a 3rd baseman controversy. Who knows if all that's true, but I don't like it.
June 14, 201214 yr Mat Latos on Lowe: "He can whine about it, if he wants to whine. If I wanted to hit him, I would have hit him. Flat out."
June 14, 201214 yr Doug Gray @dougdirt24 Since May 28th: LeCure/Simon/Hoover 6 appearances. Chapman/Arredondo/Marshall/Ondrusek 26 appearances. Might wanna mix in these guys a little more.
