Kershaw is NL player of the week

After pitching 16 scoreless innings and winning two of the Dodgers' first six games, Clayton Kershaw earned National League Player of the Week honors, the league announced Monday.

Kershaw pitched a shutout versus the San Francisco Giants on Opening Day and sparked the Dodgers' late rally with a home run. It was only the second time a pitcher had thrown a shutout and hit a home run on Opening Day.

He followed that with seven shutout innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 1-0 win Friday night. Dating to the end of last year, Kershaw has not allowed a run in his last 20 innings.

Fireworks tonight in San Diego.

Matt Kemp gets a purpose pitch early in the game with an 0-2 count with a pitch over his head. Kemp takes it like a man and gets back in the box.

The Dodgers do not retaliate.

Later in a tough 2-1 game on a 3-2 count Carlos Quentin takes a pitch off his forearm and promptly charges the mound and breaks Zach Grenke's collar bone.

This is the same Quentin who lead the league in getting beaned the last two years.

fuging San Diego, consisting of castoffs and Double A scum and this idiot takes our #2 pitcher out.

These douche bags come to Dodger Stadium Monday Night.

Someone is getting drilled in the ear.

Oh yeah, Dodgers win and now sit at 6-3.

Go Blue!

Yeah Quentin was way out of line. Like you said, he gets beamed all the time, like 16 times last year in 80 games? Why does he act surprised? It would make NO sense for Grenkie to put a runner on base at that time. I'm with the lot that thinks Carlos should be suspended till Grenkie gets back, it only seems fair. I mean, if not, why not just put a scrub out there to take a hit and run to the mound of take out any pitcher?

fuging Mattingly.

Kershaw is in the middle of a tough 1-0 ballgame the Dodgers trail in the 8th.

After dominating and striking out 9 Clayton gets in trouble bases loaded and one out.

What does Don do?

Pulls Clayton and brings in a scrub called up today to replace the injured Greinke.

Promptly two walks are given, score moves form 1-0 to 3-0 DBacks.

Clayton earned one more batter you @hole.

It's been suckin' for sure.

Billingsley is having Tommy John surgery tomorrow. Maybe Ted Lilly can step in and perform.

Hanley Ramirez still out after the injury during the retarded World baseball Classic.

Dodgers showed no sack after the Grienke ordeal. Padres came to town 3 days later and swept the Dodgers and hit another batter. No retaliation from the Dodgers.

Bullshyt, back up your team mates ffs.

They're pounding the Mets tonight but Matt Kemp still hasn't found his stroke, nor has this group of players formed as a team imho.

Kemp has multi hit games in 3 of 4 now, with two 3 hits games. Billingsley in my opinion isnt a huge loss, when have we ever relied on him? He is so inconsistent and health has always been an issue. Trading Harang for nearly nothing really hurts now. Hanley is saying he should be back quite a bit earlier than the original mid May timetable so hopefully he's back in two weeks. Greinke deal was very frustrating, still get mad thinking about it. You are right they really need Lilly to pitch well.

I love that they finally found a leadoff hitter in Crawford. And i think Ryu could have a pretty promising career once he masters his curve ball and gets used to pitching in America.

I'm ready for this guy. I'm convinced he is the answer to our offense.

The spring he had was amazing. I thought if Crawford stumbled we'd see him early but there just isn't a spot for him to start right now.

I say teach him to play 3rd base, his hitting will take care of a few errors he might make.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
