It’s complicated
Has there ever been a more complicated relationship in Los Angeles sports than what Dodger fans and future HOF Clayton Kershaw are going through right now? How many times can the Dodgers be knocking on the door only to have the guy with the biggest knockers be the one who doesn’t knock the hardest when …
Not ready to say goodbye
The Dodgers may not play in Chavez Ravine again in 2018. Clayton Kershaw may never pitch again in the Ravine as a Dodger. Both of these things are in play as the Dodgers head to Milwaukee to take on this tough Brewer team. To make sure neither of those things happens they just have to …
Clayton breaks green on the Weisman Chart
It was late afternoon and the raucous Chavez Ravine crowd was nervous as it appeared that the Dodger chances for taking a 3 – 2 game lead in the best of seven NLCS was in grave jeopardy. The Brewers had just taken the lead on a booming Cain double leaving runners on 2nd/3rd with the …

Clayton Kershaw thru age 29 and other thoughts
One thing stands out for me when reviewing the accomplishments of the greatest pitchers in baseball history through their age 29 seasons. Of the fourteen pitchers to have accumulated at least 50 bWAR only two of them are left-handed. Clayton Kershaw and Hal Newhouser. Only one of them pitched their full career in the 21st …
The Kershaw dilemma
Even as Clayton Kershaw was pitching his gem last night it seemed that more folk were interested in mocking the haters and unbelievers than in enjoying one of the greatest World Series performances of the 21st century. My thoughts on Kershaw entering every postseason is that the Dodgers will go as far as Clayton Kershaw …
The Minotaur is unleashed upon the World
It is a small but cool club that knows about Clayton Kershaw and The Minotaur. The club involved those who were with Dodger Thoughts circa 2007 when Clayton Kershaw was doing things that seemed mythical while in the minor leagues. I may be missing some facts but I’m pretty sure that as we talked more …
Kershaw gives the people what they want
This was the game that we had all been waiting for. Sure, Kershaw has pitched well since the debacle in Saint Louis, but nothing like what we knew he could do. This was our Kershaw, the one we have seen every fifth day since 2010. The one who has staked his claim as the best …
Can Kershaw do his part?
By asking that question, what I mean is, can Clayton keep his team tied or better by the time he’s lifted by Dave Roberts? Max Scherzer will be a stern test, it could very well be much like Wednesday’s game when Thor/Bumgarner threw zeroes at each other. The difference in the game was that Thor …
The day that Clayton Kershaw embarrassed me at the futures game
Doesn’t seem possible that Clayton Kershaw’s futures game was almost ten years ago but father time doesn’t lie. It was the summer of 2007 and I was lucky enough to get invited to San Franciso to watch the Future’s game by a friend of mine who was headed up to see his wife’s father. His …
