Per TBLA: Kershaw is the only [pitcher] dating back to 1900 to have three straight starts with double-digit strikeouts, no walks and no runs allowed, per the Elias Sports Bureau.
Eric Stephen @truebluela 7m7 minutes ago Ian Thomas will be the Dodgers' 13th different starting pitcher this season, most by a Dodgers team since 1964. ----------------------- Bullpen day.
That's fucking impressive.!! The guy is locked in right now. Friendman and Farhan better not fuck up the trade deadline. I could see this pitching staff dominating in the playoffs. Come on July 31st!!!
The most overlooked aspect of Kershaws pitching performance tonight is he saw first hand what having a framer like Grandal behind the dish can do for him and the Dodgers can finally put that personal catcher shit to rest. Grandal was a beast back there, and it makes zero fucking sense to have your ace pitching to someone different than he will in the playoffs.
I guess Plunkett asked yaz how mad AJ would have been had he caught a perfect game from Kersh and he laughed and said he'd be pissed. A subtle fuck you IMO.
Really a privilege to watch the top two and go out and rewrite and make BB history. Amazing performance by C K. Too bad about Zack and his ill- timed offspring...but it is what it is. I heard they are naming the kid Interrupto, or Mokilla if it's a girl. Hey, Sandy had a Jewish holy day off back in the day. This religion/birth stuff is so annoying...
