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."

Another Good Outing

Scott threw another great 2 innings night before last in an Aces win.
I have to admit, when I check the box score to see if Scott threw, I also look under EJECTIONS.
Ya just never know. *wink*

One For The Records?

I'm not exactly sure how many players have been ejected from the game without actually being IN the game.... but Scott has joined those ranks.

I'll get the details from Scott if I can... I'm sure the story is worth telling.

Update

Scott recorded his 2nd hold last night, throwing two innings and striking out three.
His ERA has steadily declined to 4.30 after a few rough outings earlier in the season.

Update

As usual, I've falled behind on my updates.
In the last two outings, Scott has picked up another save.. but did run into a little trouble.
This was his 3rd save.

Interview

Here's a nice little interview Scott gave with the Aces!

Take a look..

Update

Scott threw another 2 innings last night and picked up his 2nd save in 3 outings.
It looks as though he is finally getting to stretch his arm a bit and get some quality innings in.

Update

Scott continues to throw well for the Aces!
Last night he earned a hold, throwing two innings and striking out one.

Welcome Back!

After his trip to Japan, Scott is now back in the states and playing ball in the Diamondback organization.

Scott has signed with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, a professional baseball team in Japan's Central League (more info here).
I had a chance to offer a few questions that may give a little insight into what's going on since he has gotten there:

SDFanSite: So, Scott. What has been the biggest adjustment: Life in Japan or Baseball in Japan?

SCOTT: I would have to say the biggest adjustment thus far is the way of life in general. The food, the traditions, the regiment, and the culture. The people are extremely polite and non-confrontational as a whole. The food has been good for the most part (much to the thanks of the translators helping describe what some things are). The baseball drills and conditioning is a bit different but in a good way. I will say that there is some down time that we didn't have in the states. Over here we get done in 5 hrs what we could get done in 3 and a half in the states. The money is deceiving because it seems like play money. 10,000 "dollar bills"??? Come on! (10,000 yen really) Anyway, the short of it is that the adjustment and transition has been extremely smooth and so far very exciting.

SDFanSite: About the translator(s). Are you assigned one or a group? How much of your day is spent with a translator at your side?

SCOTT: There are three translators which we all share/use (Joe, Kimi, and Hiro). At the field, there pretty much is always one by our side. On our on time, they are available pretty much at the drop of a hat if we need them.

SDFanSite: You and Spring Training haven't gotten along very well in the past. How is this one shaping up? Does it feel like the usual Spring Training?

SCOTT: Being out here so early as compared to the states I believe has had some positive effects. I feel as though I am ahead of schedule of where I would be in the states for sure. Health, command, strength, and feel for my pitches all feel pretty good considering it is still February (yes, I'm a little behind in posting this). We'll see. I'm excited and ready to go.

I'll post more as Scott keeps us up to date.

Pfff...... Skewed Points of View

The following is from Raysindex.com:

Scranton/WB 8, Durham 7 (Scranton leads 1-0). Scott Dohmann blew a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 9th, allowing the winning run on a 2-out single...David Price worked 6 innings, but left trailing 4-2. He gave up 3 runs in the first inning, with the big blow being a 2-run home run. Price cruised through the middle innings before giving up one more run in the 6th. He was pulled after 6, striking out 9 and walking just 1...Elliot Johnson drove in 2 with a double in the 3rd...The Bulls rallied to take the lead with 5 in the 7th. Rashad Eldridge who was added just prior to the game, drove home 2 in the inning with a double.


Now here is the actual summary from the game:

Juan Miranda led off the ninth with a grounder down the first-base line that Chris Richard struggled with before picking up and throwing wildly to the covering Dohmann. The errant throw allowed Miranda to take second before Basak came on as a pinch-runner. That brought up Battle in the spot that normally would have been filled by Shelley Duncan, the same player who smacked the walk-off homer in Sunday's victory over Pawtucket.
After Ben Broussard walked and Matt Carson hit into a fielder's choice -- Durham shortstop Jorge Velandia had trouble with the ball and should have turned a double play -- Duncan lined one to right that hit just in front of Jon Weber. Duncan rounded first and received the obligatory mugging from his teammates but afterward deflected all the praise.

I guess it was just quicker and easier to blame it on Scott.
*thumbs down*
