The Campaign Continues
Dodger fans at the game tonight were treated to Orel Hershiser and Justin Turner putting on the Ritz as they combined on the Nations birthday with a memorable moment. At the same time, Dodger fans listening to Joe Davis got a glimpse why he is filling the big shoes of Vin Scully very well. Orel took …
Don Sutton sits on top but this will be about Doug Rau
Don Sutton has the highest game score against the Washington National franchise at Dodger Stadium. It was a crazy game as Little D went eleven innings and they lost 3 – 5 even though he only gave up one earned run. The Expos scored three runs in the top of the 14th to win the …
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?
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 …
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 …
LAD All-Stars 1980 – 1989, the Fernando Valenzuela and Orel Hershiser decade
1980 – The decade started with a bang as the Dodgers hosted the 1980 All-Star game, and had six representatives, led by the historical infield with Garvey, Lopes, and Russell all making the team. All four position players started but went a combined 0 – 7. Lopes only got one at-bat before being replaced. This …
Top LA Dodger postseason game scores – Don Drysdale stands above Sandy’s shadow
Several weeks ago we looked at the top postseason pitching game scores against the Cardinals. I had hoped that the Dodgers would make a long run this postseason, and that when I posted the update it would have some new names on the list. Alas, that did not happen. With the 2014 season over we …
19 – 3 is even purtier as Kershaw catches Orel
On Sept 9th, I took a look at how Clayton Kershaw’s 18 – 3 record stacked up winning percentage wise in LA Dodger history. With the win this last Sunday that purty 18 – 3 is now 19 -3, and Clayton has tied Orel Hershiser for the best winning % in LA Dodger history for …
18 – 3 as purty as it looks
Wins have gone out of style, but when your ace of aces is putting up a record of 18 – 3, you can’t help but wonder how he stacks up historically against some of the greatest winning percentages since the Dodgers moved West. Clayton would need one more win to match Orel with the best …
