Bizarro day finds Dodgers only six back
The odds were already stacked against the Dodgers in the second game of a doubleheader having to face the best pitcher in the National League in his park, but they looked even worse after Rich Hill left the game with a torn blister without retiring a single batter. This meant the bullpen would have to …
Game of juxtapositions
This game was supposed to be about the HOF bound postseason veteran pitcher dominating the young kid who had never been West of Oklahoma. For one inning it played that way, as the HOF bound pitcher struck out the side on twelve pitches. From that point on though the HOF looked like a rookie pitcher …
Hyun-Jin Ryu game score of 77 was fifth best in his LAD history
Baseball fans forget that when Hyun-Jin Ryu is healthy he is one of the top left handers in the National league, and last night he reminded us of that by twirling one of the best games of his career. Using game score as the criteria, his game score of 77 was the fifth best in his …
As losses go this one was fabulous

The GB&U Game Four
Dodgers win 9 – 0. Record now 2 – 2. The Dodger offense came alive on Sunday Night while the pitching continued to throw up zeroes. With two games in the book, the talk was all about the Dodgers inability to score any runs but two games later the story is all about the incredible …
The GB&U Game Three
Dodgers score some runs, the pitching continues to keep all Panikless Giants off the board and the Dodgers get their first win 5 – 0 moving their record to 1 – 2. The Good: Kenta Maeda was dominant for five innings. That might be all they get from him this year but if he can continue …
The GB&U Game two
Dodgers lose again 1 – 0 making them 0 – 2 for the season. The Giants win the first two games of the year 1 – 0 on solo home runs by Joe Panik. Until someone proves me wrong, I’m going with the idea that this has rarely happened in baseball. Rare enough to lose …
The GB&U Game one edition
Dodger record is 0 – 1. Last year the Dodgers scored fourteen runs on opening day and were shutout in game two. A reversal of that would be cool. The Good: Clayton Kershaw gave up only one run. He wasn’t as sharp as he had been this spring but he did his job with runners …
