Having fun with Walker Buehler Game Scores
Walker Buehler put up a game score of 88 on August 3rd, giving him three games scores > 80 in 2019. This would make him the third right-handed Dodger in the 21st century to have three-game scores > 80 in the same season. Andy Ashby did it once in 2002 Brad Penny did it once …
Kenta Maeda has the best two game stretch in his three year career
Fresh off of his best game ever in the major leagues, Kenta followed it up with another gem giving him a two-game, game score total of 164, by far his best two games back to back. Kenta has had only five games out of sixty-six starts with a game score >= 75 and two of …
Dodger all-time prospect busts – Part I
I was all ready to do my 2nd installment of the good and bad of 2017 when Baseball Prospectus rolled out a prospect bust list for the 21st century. It included three Dodgers and while I agree with Andy LaRoche and Jtd (Joel the Destroyer Guzman), they also included Zach Lee which I thought was …
Big and Little D dominate 1 – 0 loser list
I was right about Don Sutton leading the Dodgers in losing 1 – 0 games but he had company from his big brother Don Drysdale. They both did it a staggering nine times. This points to two things. They were both incredible pitchers, and they both pitched for some bad offensive teams. The list below …
Kershaw cracks top gamescore against Dbacks at home
Clayton Kershaw once again played with a no-hitter but had to settle for just another victory. The final score of 4 – 3 does not properly reflect his dominance last night in which he put up a game score of 82. That game score put him on the leaderboard of Dodger pitchers with a game …
Best K games against Cardinals at Dodger Stadium – The Lefties own it
This isn’t a surprise, to be honest I expect Kershaw and Koufax to be at the top of this list every time. Which is why it was refreshing to see Nomo and Fernando hit the top now and then to change things up. This list really is a who’s who of LAD pitching mountaintop. Good …

OTDIB – May 14th – Chad Billingsley gets screwed
On this date in baseball: May 14th, 2011 Chad Billingsley didn’t have the best luck in his Dodger career and never was that more in play than on this day. For the first time since 1914, the Dodgers are defeated after allowing just one hit, losing to the visiting Diamondbacks,1-0. Chad Billingsley, the hard-luck loser, …

Quick 21st-century LAD All-Star notes: The most all-stars this century are the current six in 2017 The Dodgers have a rookie all-star three years in a row with Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, and Cody Bellinger. This will be Kershaw’s 7th straight all-star appearance. Andre Ethier, …
Chad Billingsley may have to hang em up
A recent story out of ROBESONIA, Pa suggests that Chad Billingsley may have to retire as the rest suggested by his doctors is simply not working. “I can throw a baseball at 50 to 60 percent, but when I ramp it up it starts hurting,” the former Bulldog said. Rest is the only hope at getting …
