York not its not As if Pedro Guerrero cannot Chew gum and walk at the same or talk to reporters and tic his shoelaces at the same Hes a Bright Man with a patient and he has mastered English As Well As he has mastered National league hut Why would you want him to worry about bunts and grounders when he should be thinking about the real stuff in hitting and first they dont have to says the dodgers latest third Enos but the other infield cars have to once asked what went through his mind while hunched Over at the hot Guerrero admitted he was thinking please dont hit the Ball to and what was his second thought please dont hit it to a reference to Steve the second baseman who for a Long time had problems making the Short throw to first Guerrero has been carrying the dodgers since june when he was liberated from third base to roam left Field and dream about mayhem on the pitchers of the he took apart the acts monday starting with a then a double and two singles before they got him and the dodgers he was batting after tuesday nights and was second in the league with 30 Home after Bat Ting Only with 4 homers in april and May while assigned to third the switch to left Field was one of the Wisest personnel moves in the managing career of Tom then it had been Lasorda who put Guerrero on third base after the dodgers excesses Ron Cey after the 1982 Guerrero in Spanish it Means Warrior is not a player you would want to magnificently proper with thick thin Waist and tapered he was a 303 hitter coming into this just reach ing his prime at the age of but he was reaching his prime As a third and his mind was i feel More comfortable in the Guerrero explains for the 100th i dont have to think about As if you play All your life at one that one but if you make a that last Guerrero had signed a 5year and he reported just a Little just a Little Lasorda playing third he had trouble getting but Lasorda bailed him out in Early and Guerrero raised his batting average to last year Pete came to me and asked if he could go up photo dodgers Pedro Guerrero More comfortable in Outfield Back to the Lasorda he want hit and he was looking for reasons Why he want hit so he figured it was his Lasorda tried again this but made the change Guerrero likes to stand in the Field and wiggle his hips and flex his working on his hitting its hard to do that when somebody May slash a screaming grounder at his on june who Speaks Spanish As comfortably As Guerrero Speaks assured him bilingually that he could now focus on terror izing the leagues pitchers for the entire month of Corning from the dominican Lasorda says with a Pete didst know the old rhyme about thirty Days hath we didst Tell him june has Only 30 he thinks today is june 87th or the dodgers used Dave Anderson and Bob Bailor at third base until july when they acquired the slender who had spent much of his career trading barbs with Lasorda As a Houston and san Francisco third second basemen and there not expected to hit with Cabell because they can turn the double third basemen and catchers have a lot to think now Pete Doest have to think about that there Are still perils to playing the and Guerrero experienced one on june 10 when he pulled a Back muscle while chasing a hit by Johnny Ray in coming into the dugout for the fifth Guerrero told i have one More swing in the one swing was a Savage lunge at a pitch by Lee and a Home run that went nine Accord ing to the Only thing wrong was that Guerrero aggravated the muscle pull and nearly crumpled at Home he was barely Able to hobble to first where Manny the told him to take his some of Guerreros Home run trots have been timed on a but this one was nearly timed on a Cal it was getting close to july 11 by the time he hobbled Home with the run that put the dodgers ahead to but he missed seven games four of them in Chicago with the wind blowing out and the Allstar although he made a Point of attending in uni Guerrero also missed the first game Back after the today strike by the he had gone Home to san Pedro de maoris for a but when the air condition ing stopped working in the new Home he had bought for his he took Refuge in a Motel near the he missed his makeup and was absent As the Dodg ers lost the first game the next night he and hit a three run Homer in the Bottom of the and he has been slugging Ever As if it were still Ive seen Murphy and Schmittz and Mays and Aaron and Frank Robinson carry Ball Lasorda that what Pete Means for us the former dodger says i didst think Pete was that Good a clutch but since Ive been if you need a three run hell hit a three run if he int the most valuable player in the its asked How Good a player he has Guerrero says i cant answer that its up to the people who watch what do you think when a dodger reporter says he thinks Guerrero has arrived at the Dale Murphy Mike Schmid Tandre Dawson Guerrero smiles softly and if you think i agree with ill go along with bullpen gets it done without suffer cards Jeff Lahti saves Leader with 16 by Paul Lebar Louis a Bruce Sutter was predictions of a Las place finish were piling it was last a Des Perate time in the Louis and cardinals manager Whitey Herzog was prepared to take desperate it looks Herzog were going to have to get the Job done by com that committee has turned into a Blue ribbon heading into the final seven weeks of a torrid National league East no team in baseball boasts the bullpen balance of the and Only one bullpen in the no had More who said that the loss of Sutter As a free agent would make him 45 games dumber As a has filled the void by mixing pitchers with Situa one night youre a Long and the next night you might be a Short Veteran Bill Campbell he goes by what he what a certain Guy can do against a certain he May use him just for that one Hes got a Good idea of what he wants to through 113 the cards used four bullpen members Between 33 and 38 times none had pitched More than 57to yet they had 32 saves and a earned run everybody pulling for each said right hander Jeff the staff Leader with 16 saves in 19 its a Nice its i like coming to the Ballpark every because 1 know that when i get in the ballgame its usually when the game is on the for four beginning in the scenario was far different among most of those sitting and waiting to be summoned for Louis their tasks were then monotonously they involved setting the table for Long established As the leagues top a year ago he set an no record of 45 when Sutter signed with Atlanta last Herzog studied the pitch ers he had left handers Rick Horton and Ken Dayley were Given new just before the season the 37yearold Campbell was acquired in a Trade from Hertogs original plan was to use Dayley and Campbell in combi nation with Neil who was traded july 13 to the new York Allens failure to contribute has been the Only Dayley has manufactured nine Campbell part time starter Bob Forsch two and Horton the relievers have yielded Only nine Home runs in 226 a major part of their according to has been their ratio of 44 unintentional walks to 157 that what its All if you look at the butlers and you look at the Dan they never walk any he i think in ail the four years i had Bruce he might come in arid get 30 on the first hitter but he never walked according to the cards the Best indication of Louis relievers True effectiveness probably lies with the clubs 562 record for games in which it has led after six i dont think anybody in baseball can match that shows you How Good your Middle Relief and your Short Relief Herzog i guess everybody thought that was going to be our weak and its really turned out to be our Strong with less than 50 games left on their the cards have also lost Only once by committee Relief after leading through seven that an amazing their Man Ager that just almost unheard of unless you have the big bullpen indy hurler fires no hitter Indianapolis up Rich Stoll pitched a no hitter tuesday to Lead the Indianapolis
