A Victim Of "The Numbers"

Scott is back in AAA, not because of his performance, but because of too many good pitchers in the bullpen. Sun-Woo Kim has come back from an injury, and someone had to go down to make room. I don't expect Scott to stay in AAA very long. He's having a good year and I'm expecting him to finish up strong.

Update

Scott had a rough outing last night, walking 3 before getting pulled.
Ah, it happens. I'm sure he's not happy about it, but he has to be pretty pleased with this season. His numbers look good, and the team is doing quite well.

Update

Scott continues to throw well as the season progresses.
Looks like his confidence is back, and the bullpen seems to be gelling.

Quick Stat: Lefties are batting .077 vs Scott this season.

Update From Houston

I got to attend the game last night against the Astros.
Not a great start to the series, I can tell you.
Jason Jennings did not throw a bad game, the 'stros were just on fire. Probably had a lot to do with the whooping we gave them in Colorado.
Scott gave up 3 runs, but let me vent. A few bleeder hits and one legit hit by Preston. But catcher's interference??? Who gets on base with that? Ah well, if you feel good about getting on base in that fashion, more power to ya.

Anyway, we're going to the game tonight at 6:05. I'm hoping for a better showing, as we are surrounded by Astros fans by a ratio of about 300:1.

Go Rox!

Update

Due to the fantastic pitching from the starters, Scott's appearances have been limited.
However, he has done a great job when he did pitch.
We're hoping to watch him pitch this weekend against Houston. It's as close to home as he will get!

Rolling

Scott threw a perfect inning last night against the Reds.
It would appear that Scott is in control on the mound, he looks confident and his stats are reflecting it.

Keep it up Scott!

Mixed Feelings

I actually got to see Scott's inning last night on tv, so I feel like I can comment on it.
The pitch to Jones was not a bad pitch by any means. It was low and inside. Andruw is a great hitter, he put it to the wall.

Scott allowed Cook's runner from first to score, but it wasn't marked against Scott.
So, he did get himself out without an EARNED run, but he didn't get the save.

I still feel like Scott is throwing very well, he looks to be in command and confident. A win would have been really nice though.

Update

Against Florida today:

..Dohmann struck out two in 1 1/3 innings before turning the game over to Mesa...


And the ERA lowers even more!

Unleash The Dohbermann

What a night.
Extra innings, 14 pitches - 11 strikes, 2 K's and a save on the side.

It's a beautiful thing. Congrats, Scott!!!

Here is one of a handful of recaps.

Honey, I Shrunk The ERA

Scott threw another great inning last night, giving up no hits or runs. Could be the start of another run of scoreless innings. Check the link here for his stats ------------->

AttaBoy!

Scott threw an inning tonight against Philly.
11 pitches, 7 strikes. No hits, no runs, no walks.

Me likey.

Helton

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Todd and his family. He is undergoing tests to find the source of his stomach pains.
More information is here.


We're hoping for the best.

Reinstated

Scott made it back up to the Rox, and threw his first game last night.
A little rough in the first inning, but recovered well to finish up. It's good to see him back!

The Suspense Is Too Painful

Hurdle said a decision could be made today regarding relief pitcher Scott Dohmann's status. Dohmann is eligible to come off the disabled list after dealing with a viral infection. ... The most likely candidates to lose a roster spot to Dohmann are Sun-woo Kim or Ramon Ramirez. If Kim was designated for assignment, he would have to clear waivers before reporting to AAA Colorado Springs. He is out of options.

Update

Pitching pileup: Scott Dohmann was scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday afternoon as part of his rehab assignment in coming back from an illness that kept him off the Opening Day roster. Dohmann made three appearances for Class A Modesto and could be ready to return to the Rockies shortly.
"Dohmann 's going in the right direction," Hurdle said. "We'll pitch him an inning [Sunday] just to see how he shows up. There might be need to pitch more, there might not be. We'll just see how it goes."
Dohmann joins Byung-Hyun Kim on the rehab trail, with Kim having made his first start on Saturday with Colorado Springs, giving up one run in 3 2/3 innings.
Mike DeJean, who went on the DL with right shoulder tendinitis on Wednesday, is expected to start throwing again in the middle of the upcoming week.

Support

Thanks to Mark over at Bad Altitude for the added support:

".....Lots of thoughts on this one, which I attended in person. First of all, let's hurry up and get Mike DeJean and Scott Dohmann back healthy. Tom Martin and Sunny Kim are not good for much besides turning blowouts into cheap save opportunities for Brian Fuentes. Fuentes, Ray King, and Jose Mesa have looked very impressive so far this season. It would be a shame to ruin their effectiveness through overwork....."

Scott Continues To Excel

Here is the information on Scott's latest outing.

Update

Scott threw 2 innings today for the Modesto Nuts in his journey to recovery.
He walked 1, struck out 2 and surrendered no runs.

Things look pretty good, Scott should be back with the team by next week.

Update

This is from MLB.com:

Right-handed reliever Scott Dohmann, recovering from a viral infection, retired five batters on 21 pitches in a camp game in Tucson, Ariz., on Thursday. He will pitch an inning on Sunday, most likely as the starter, for Class A Modesto at Stockton to begin his injury rehab assignment. The Rockies want him to be able to pitch more than one inning and on consecutive days before evaluating his return.

Recovery

This is taken from Rockymountainnews.com:

GAME PLAN
Right-handed pitcher Scott Dohmann, placed on the disabled list because of the impact of a virus he battled last week, has begun full workouts and bullpen sessions in his first steps of recovery. He is expected to pitch in a game this weekend and will remain in extended spring training to build strength. Once he is game ready, he will be sent on a minor-league rehabilitation assignment.
