Offensive Battery
With catcher Russ Martin at first, pitcher Brad Penny doubles down the left field line, scoring the slow footed catcher all the way from first. The Dodgers lead 2-0 in the bottom of the first on four hits, three of them for extra bases.
Update: Jeff Kent is having a good night as he returns from the DL. He drove in the first run of the game with a double and just homered to plate two more. The Dodgers are having their way with Fogg tonight as they lead 4-0 in the bottom of the third.
Correction: Changed Ross to Russ.

It's "Russ" Martin. And the "slow-footed catcher" leads the NL in steals by a catcher, with 6.
Russell Martin is not slow-footed. He will be, but not yet.
When I saw him running on the play, he was lumbering, not streaking. He may be fast for a catcher, but he's still slow.
Martin stole another one today.
