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 …
Best game scores against Cardinals at Dodger Stadium
Top games scores by LAD pitchers against the Cardinals at Dodger Stadium. Wow, this seems like a lot. My cutoff point was 80, and a plethora of Dodger pitchers made the cut. Over 30 of them. Fernando leads the way with his “throw your sombrero to the sky” no hitter. Some notes on the names; …
LAD Strikeout Leaderboard for AT&T Park
I think I’ll make this a regular thing. Before each series, I’ll post the top Game scores and Strikeouts for that park so we can see if anyone can crack them in the upcoming series. On Saturday, Alex Wood was able to crack the top strikeout games at Coors and jumped over Clayton Kershaw to …
Favorite LAD players by position?

Don Sutton shuts out Pirates 42 years ago today
The myth that Don Sutton was a postseason pitcher started 42 years ago when he shut out the mighty Pirates in the first game of the NLCS 3 – 0. The Dodgers in 1974 were a very young positional team but with a veteran rotation. Andy Messersmith was the Dodgers best pitcher in 1974 but Walter …
Eighteen years ago I thought I’d be getting on a flight to NY
and head to Cooperstown right about now for the first time in my life. I could have gone when Don Sutton was inducted, but to be honest, Don never stirred my spirit. Don did pitch a 1 – 0 shutout against the Pirates in the first game I ever saw, and pitched many a brilliant …
Can Bud Norris and the cavalry save the Dodger season?
Depth replaces adequacy, it doesn’t replace brilliance. Jon Weisman gives nine reasons why Dodger fans should not dispair. As usual, Jon hits the right notes but is the case convincing? Does it have to be? If you are a fan you should be a fan, even when the chips are down. With Clayton Kershaw on …
