Saved, Hallelujah!

Scott picked up his first save of the season, lowering his ERA in the process!

Albuquerque Bottom 9th
Pitcher Change: Scott Dohmann replaces Bobby Seay, batting 9th.
Mike Colangelo grounds out, shortstop Tomas Delarosa to first baseman Jeff Pickler.
Todd Sears pops out to shortstop Tomas Delarosa.
Larry Barnes grounds out, second baseman Elvis Pena to first baseman Jeff Pickler.

Update

In spite of giving up a home run in his last outing, Scott's ERA remains steady and his strikeouts continue to climb.

I'm still bummed about his 'call up' this week..... I'm sure he's not thrilled either.
Still we keep our heads and hopes up.

More BS

After posting all over the internet, including the Rockies website that Scott was being called back up, Shealy gets called up to take the injured Helton's spot on the roster.
Nobody has any control of injuries, but the timing on this one just sucks.

Welcome Back, Scotter

Ok. Ok. It's Official. Scott has earned his way backup to the majors.
We're behind him 10000%!

Here's the article from the Rockies' site:

More Support!

Thanks to Dan over at Most Valuable Network for his support for Scott (mentioned here), and Rox Girl from Purple Row for her support (here).
With injuries and whatnot current in the Rockies bullpen, maybe Scott will get his shot soon. Although I didn't think it would take an injury for him to get his chance.....

From Dan's site:

".....Send down David Cortes, call up Scott Dohmann. Dohmann may get a callup here soon anyway, but he shouldn’t be kept in the minors at the expense of guys like Cortes and Mike DeJean who aren’t going to help us win in 2006. Dohmann’s numbers have been solid at AAA this year. Though his ERA is 4.63, he’s keeping the ball in the ballpark (4 HR allowed in 35 IP) and his K/9 and K/BB (11.57 and 45/13, respectively) have been excellent. Why not give Dohmann some love and have him fill Cortes’s role as the fourth or fifth man out of the pen for now? (side note – big shouts to the Scott Dohmann Fan Site – my world is a better place knowing that this website exists as a tribute to a guy I’ve been rooting for since he got called up last year.)....."

From Rox Girl's site:

"......Unfortunately for Scott Dohmann, and for "Furl the Squirrel" who runs the Scott Dohmann fansite, the Rockies elected to call up Randy Williams from AAA to replace Jason Jennings instead of Scott. I know Furl and myself aren't alone in thinking that Dohmann was more deserving, but we aren't the ones making the call, either......"

Update

Scott got the win Tuesday night against the Las Vegas 51's. Raise your hand if you think Scott should be called up to the Rockies' bullpen!

Tough Break

Scott had 2 rough outings, including this loss last night:

Sacramento Bottom 12th
Pitcher Change: Scott Dohmann replaces Ryan Speier.
Bobby Smith pops out to catcher Dan Conway in foul territory.
Shawn Garrett hit by pitch.
Jack Cust strikes out swinging.
Brant Colamarino called out on strikes.

Sacramento Bottom 13th
John Baker strikes out swinging.
Jermaine Clark walks.
Freddie Bynum singles on a line drive to right fielder J. Davis. Jermaine Clark to 3rd.
Mike Rouse singles on a line drive to right fielder J. Davis. Jermaine Clark scores. Freddie Bynum to 2nd.

I would like to remind everyone that Scott's ERA with the Skysox is still better than more than half of the pitchers there. Yet, the Rockies continue to call pitchers back up around Scott. Not to mention his innings pitched to strikout ratio. I'm not saying that Scott can solve the bullpen problems in Colorado, but I would have to say that he has earned his right to go back... just as much as the other guys who got pulled up from the Skysox.

Here is a good article from the Denver Post.

A Day Off

It's good to be able to get away from it all!
Scott used his off time to take his wife Tara and son Gavin to the zoo. With so much going on in his professional life, it's got to be nice to be able to take quality time with his family.
