Update

Scott and Ryan Shealy have been traded to the Royals.
I'm really hoping that Scott can make his mark here.
So long, Colorado. Goodbye to everyone who was nice enough to link to us here.....

The Royal Treatment

Scott has been traded to the Kansas City Royals. I'll follow up with more details.

Garbage

NOTE: The following opinions are those of the website owner, NOT SCOTT DOHMANN.

I'm so disgusted with the fact that Scott is back down in AAA, that I won't even watch the games. Bad decisions, in my opinion, have led to the recent string of losses. Too many pitchers in the bullpen is one problem. Having the starters go too long before bringing in relief is another.
I know the bullpen has gotten a lot of flack lately, but if you cannot score more than 3 runs in a game... you cannot expect to win. Four of the last six games, the Rockies didn't score more than 4 runs. The bullpen could have helped, sure. But if you can't get run support, it doesn't matter how well you hold the opposing offense. So Scott is back down the same night he came in with bases loaded and 1 out. He closed out the inning with no runs given up. Some changes should be made, yes. But I don't feel that Scott should have been sent down. Last I had heard, Hurdle said he was going to continue with the bullpen that had gotten them where they are now. Righto. He said they were going to 'sit on their hands' and let the bullpen get out of the slump. I hear ya. He should have sat on his hands instead of grabbing over the hill relief pitchers before the season started. He had a young group in AAA, he should have used them instead of spending money they don't have on people they can't use. Again, this is just my opinion and I am biased towards Scott.... but as a manager, show some consistancy. Stand behind your word.
Oh, and let's take a look at one of Scott's replacements:

WELCOME TO THE SHOW: Reliever Manuel Corpas made his big-league debut in the eighth inning, surrendering a home run to Craig Wilson. Corpas showed off a 93-mph fastball and a good slider


I didn't watch the game, but I wonder..... was he showing off the fastball or the slider when Craig Wilson demolished it?

Late Update

Scott and Gavin take some time to bond during the All-Star break.

Update

Scott threw a great inning last night against the Diamondbacks.
Won't be long before his ERA is back down where it used to be.

Bounce Back

Scott recovered nicely last night by throwing a perfect 8th inning. The Rox put together a string of hits early to get the win over the Rangers.

At Least They're Out Of The Way Now

Until last night, Scott hadn't given up a HR all year. Last night, he gave up back to back. However, they were to 2 of the most dangerous hitters in baseball: Teixeira and Blalock.
So, on a positive note.... the homeruns are out of the way. No more pressure.
Here's to making them the only 2 of the season.

Go Scott!

Update

Scott continues to throw well, despite one rough spot against the Cardinals earlier in the series.
Check out his stats -------------------->

First Win

Congratulations to Scott, who got his first win Wednesday against the Pirates.
He threw two and a third scoreless innings.
Things are looking up for Scott and the team, hopefully they can string together a few wins!

Update

Although they were not stellar innings, Scott threw 2 scoreless ones last night against the Pirates.
I got to watch him throw, and while he was not on top of his game... his slider was amazing. He had a few batters just waving at it.

His ERA is down to 4.08 I believe...

Nice To Hear Compliments

Triple-A relief: Right-hander Scott Dohmann, demoted to make room for Sun-Woo Kim in the bullpen, has thrown four scoreless innings at Colorado Springs. He has struck out seven against two hits and one walk. Colorado Springs pitching coach Chuck Kniffin said Dohmann has provided leadership during a short period.
"We have a lot of guys here that are in Triple-A for the first time," Kniffin said. "Sometimes a guy will come down from the Major League club and for a period of time it takes a few days to get over his disappointment, but not Scotty. The day he got here, I asked if everything was all right and he said, 'Fine, let's get after it.' He's bee a real pro.
"I look for good things from Scotty. He's got two quality pitches [fastball and slider] and great work habits. Hopefully, everybody else picks up on it."

Reinstated

Scott has been reinstated with the Rockies after about a 10 day stint with the AAA Skysox.
Hopefully Scott can contribute and stop the landslide losses against the Marlins.

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!
