2013 LA DODGERS Thread

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.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
