In case you didn't see last night's game and only looked at the box score, you were probably mad that Andre Ethier was benched in favor of Juan Pierre. Turns out, Ethier wasn't even there.
Ethier flew home to Chandler, Arizona to be with his wife on the birth of their first child. Joe Torre said that he will definitely miss today's game as well, and then who knows from there. The Dodgers fly to Pittsburgh for 4 starting Monday.
In his place, Pierre will probably get the start again. He is 7-17 lifetime against starting pitcher Aaron Cook, so I guess it's the logical thing to do. I like that he's not hitting leadoff and in the #2 hole instead. I hope that's the case again today.
