Kershaw goes for 2,000th strikeout today
It was just nine years ago that Clayton Kershaw was making his first start for the LAD, now he’s trying to notch his 2,000th strikeout. Time flies when you are having fun. Kershaw already owns the most strikeouts for any Dodger by age 29, but if he can wrangle ten strikeouts today, he would hit …
Koufax perfect game rides on top
The highest game score by a LAD pitcher against the Cubs at Dodger Stadium is, of course, the perfect game by Sandy Koufax. I like this list because it has some names on it that had been missing in my other game score leaderboards. Like Hiroki Kuroda, Bill Singer, Tim Belcher, Ricky Nolasco, Rick Honeycut, …
Forsythe has a triumphant return
For the first nine innings of last nights ballgame it looked like the Dodgers might have activated Logan Forsythe before he was ready. Logan struck out four times in his first four at-bats out of the lead off spot, but when it really counted he struck for gold connecting on a double to drive in …
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 …
Alex Wood closing in on most LAD wins in May
With four wins in May, Alex Wood has a decent shot at matching the most wins in May for an LAD. Fifteen times a player has won five games in May. According to the schedule, Wood has only one more start scheduled for May. If he was to win his fifth game in five starts …

Kershaw makes it 20 against Rockies
Joe Davis said that Kershaw with a win tonight would have the most wins against the Rockies franchise. Kershaw did notch his 20th win against the Rockies but I was left wondering who the competition was. Kind of fierce actually. Player Split From To G W L W-L% Clayton Kershaw COL 2008 2017 35 20 …
Best game scores by LAD at Coors
With Clayton Kershaw getting ready to toe the rubber tonight in Coors, I thought it would be a good time to review the best-pitched games at Coors. Yesterday we looked at the best hitting performances. No surprise to see Clayton owning the 2nd/3rd best performances so far. Nomo’s no no is, of course, the greatest …
Favorite LAD players by position?
Sometimes the comments at TBLA are stories within themselves. Yesterday they got off on the tangent of Best LAD lineup based on season and that transgressed into Favorite LAD Lineup based simply on players you saw and liked. I’m going to take a swing at the favorite player lineup. Some of these would be easy for …
