Young right-hander doesn't have his 'A' stuff but goes seven strong innings to beat Texas, 2-1.
After battling through a lackluster first inning at Angel Stadium on Saturday, Jered Weaver pulled pitching coach Mike Butcher aside in the dugout and whispered a confession.
Penny's warmup is disrupted again, then he gives up four first-inning runs. That's three more than Dodgers can afford against Padres' Peavy, who pitches two-hitter.
SAN DIEGO -- Brad Penny had his pregame routine disrupted again, this time on a day when he had to be almost perfect.
As former Yankees Manager Joe Torre takes on the boys in blue, there s a new hope for glory and a legend on the line.
Joe Torre trudged through the spring training clubhouse at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Fla., the same way he walks out to the pitcher's mound late in an important game.

He threw a poker-faced glance at his players, many of whom were sprawled in front of their stalls chatting, slowly pulling on their uniforms. Most paid little attention to him, as if they didn't even notice he was there. Eventually, he headed down a long corridor, turned left and was gone.

Coach's defense-first philosophy has pushed Bruins to three straight Final Fours, only to come up short against more athletic opponents. It may be time for a new approach.
