Thoughts about teams in the NL West today:

Dodgers (11-3) – At this point, throwing a pitch to Matt Kemp amounts to a suicide mission.

Rockies (7-6) – Dexter Fowler has struck out 10 times in 37 plate appearances.  In 40 plate appearances, Marco Scutaro has struck out zero times.

Giants (7-6) – Matt Cain has walked 1.13 batters per nine innings.  The only Giant starter with a number even close to that is Barry Zito, who has walked four hitters in 21 innings.

D’Backs (7-7) – Josh Collmenter has an ERA of 10.22 after three starts.  Trevor Bauer has a 0.57 ERA in Double-A.  Obvious solution: Heal Collmenter with Bauer’s touch.

Padres (3-12) – It’s hard to write something that’s not rude.  Fortunately, Chase Headly is hitting .292/.435/.646.
