The benching of Matt Kemp this week resulted in part from an argument he had with bench coach Bob Schaefer on Saturday, according to team sources.
In the first inning of the 9-4 victory over the New York Yankees that day, Derek Jeterdrew a leadoff walk and stole second base. Because Kemp wasn't backingup the bag, Jeter was able to advance to third base when catcher Russell Martin made an errant throw.

When Schaefer later reminded Kemp of what he should have done on theplay, Kemp responded by saying that he was playing too deep to getthere in time. Schaefer told him said that regardless, his duty was tocharge in as soon as Martin let go of the ball. That prompted Kemp totell Schaefer to leave him alone.
The point Schaefer tried tomake has been made repeatedly by Dodgers coaches, who think Martinwouldn't have seven errors if Kemp followed their instructions.
Manager Joe Torrekept Kemp out of the lineup for three consecutive games, startingSunday. Kemp started on Wednesday, but Torre acknowledged that mightnot have happened had Kemp not approached him to clear the air.
Kemp has denied he had a confrontation with any member of the coachingstaff. Torre refused to comment when asked if Kemp blew up at a coachon Saturday, as was first reported by mlb.com.
Reached onThursday, Schaefer didn't have much to say. "It's just between me andMatt, and it's no big deal," he said. "I was trying to make him betterand he's better now." Jokingly, he added, "With a little bit of rest,he's improved."
Manny update
Manny Ramirezis officially listed as day to day, but it is thought "unlikely" thathe will be put on the disabled list because of a strained righthamstring, said a source with knowledge of the situation who spoke onthe condition of anonymity because no decision has been made. Ramirezunderwent an MRI exam in Phoenix that showed inflammation in hishamstring, as was expected.
Nonetheless, the Dodgers held Xavier Paul out of their triple-A lineup on Thursday in case they decide to sideline Ramirez, who was hurt on the basepaths Saturday.
Short hops
Ramirez has donated a 1994 911 Porsche Turbo 3.6 to the Dodgers' ThinkCure charity, which will auction the car on EBay. Visit http://www.thinkcure.org/manny for details.... Cory Wade, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, was outrighted to triple-A Albuquerque and removed from the 40-man roster.

But hey, we're the Dodgers, obvious becomes oblivious here
