Number 15

Congratulations to Scott, who picked up his 15th save of the season today. The season comes to a close soon... we'll see how many more he can pick up before coming home.

Scott In Action

Here are a few photos taken while Scott played in New Orleans last weekend:

Scott's Thoughts on Being a Closer..

Here's a clip from the article:

"Getting your teeth kicked in quite a few times. You need that to be a closer, to be able to prove to yourself and everybody else that you can come back from that. I’ve had my teeth kicked in a few times in my years."

It's a fantastic article, and can be read HERE.

Confidence Booster

In an interview with Jon Link (now a starting pitcher for the Isotopes), he had this to say about Scott:

"...Link said the Isotopes have to do “anything to get the ball to Dohmann."

"That’s when we have our impressive stats when we get the ball to him in the late innings," Link added..."

Update

Here's a nice little article regarding the pitching staff for the Isotopes (submitted by Mary): http://www.santafenewmexican.com/sports/Isotopes-pitching-solid-in-victory

Scott had a quote: "...You do what you gotta do for that day," Dohmann said. "You don't worry about tomorrow. There were times out in the bullpen we were exhausted, but at the same time, that's no reason to make excuses. That would be the easy way out..."

All Star Break

Coming into the break, Scott ranks 6th in the Pacific Coast League with 10 Saves.

Update

Scott continues to lower his ERA, posting 3 strikeouts in 2 innings of work last night.

Update

Here's a newspaper article summing up Scott's performance last night: Scott Dohmann faced the best Omaha had to offer Monday night at Isotopes Park.

Dohmann, the Albuquerque closer, faced the top of the Royals order, which included a pair of former major leagues, in the top of the ninth inning, with a single run separating a pair of second-place teams in the Pacific Coast League.

After retiring the first two Royals, Dohmann allowed two base runners before recording the final out and preserving the 8-7 victory in the series opener.

With one out, Dohmann struck out Rick Ankiel on a foul tip. Ankiel, the former St. Louis Cardinal pitching phenom-turned-resurrected outfielder, is with Omaha on a Major League rehab assignment.

Welcome Home!

Scott threw 3 scoreless innings against the New Orleans Zephyrs last night. Not a bad performance in his home town! That makes 4 combined scoreless innings since he joined the Isotopes earlier this week.

Isotopes

Scott has been called to join the Albuquerque Isotopes, and here is a writeup from the New Orleans paper, the Examiner:

The Dodgers recalled Isotopes closer Jon Link to the majors on Sunday. He will replace reliever Russ Ortiz, who was designated for assignment. With Link gone, Wallach said Luis Ayala will hold down the closer's role. Link will be replaced on the roster by veteran right-hander Scott Dohmann, who had been held back in extended spring training in Arizona. “He’s had some time in the big leagues," Wallach said of Dohmann, who pitched for Colorado, Kansas City and Tampa Bay from 2004 to 2008. "I saw him in either ’04 or ’05 in the big leagues. I saw him a little bit in big-league camp (this spring). He’s got a fastball, slider, change or split. He’s a professional pitcher."
