Kershaw’s career winning percentage is just a tick under 70- at 69.6%.
181-79. 19 wins from 200.
Among Dodgers pitchers Kershaw’s winning percentage is topped only by Zack Greinke at .773 and Preacher Roe at .715.
I’m not sure he’ll get there this season.
Kenley’s ERA drops to 1.65. Victor’s is 1.38.
I love the victory, our third straight, but we need to find people to replace Santana, Peters and Raley.
Don’t disagree but tonight Kershaw himself was kinda his own worse enemy…
Yes. Thank goodness we got eight runs in the second, during which Kershaw played a key role. It is nice to pick up a win as a pitcher when you haven’t done particularly well. Eleven strikeouts in six innings helps to balance the equation. Kershaw has six wins. The only pitcher with more is Jack Flaherty of St. Louis with seven.
Yippee!!
Nice job, Kenley!
Woo-HOO!!!
Dodgers win!
Love getting the leadoff man there.
K-enley!
Ok Kenley. Time to shine please.
Bender loves to throw sinkers.
Nice recovery, Victor.
Whew!!
Phew.
No more runs please.
What a crock. We’re not out of woods by any means.
Come on, bullpen – ie Santana.
Why Peters over Beaty?
Beaty came in to replace AJ earlier.
Is AJ okay?
Reaggrevated the hammy.
Tweaked his hammy again going 1st to 3rd when Barnes juuust missed a HR off the top of the wall. A foot higher and AJ would have been jogging instead of sprinting.
Dang, that’s too bad.
I really want to cheer for AJ because I think he is a decent human person. But he is injury bit a lot – and seems to underperform a bit in the playoffs.
But I still don’t understand the batting switch. Beaty is a much better hitter.
Oh yeah. Lol. Good question. I don’t know…
I suspect it’s the injured list for him this time.
Bad future person? 😉
(But I agree with you…)
That’s what I was wondering.
Any which way… 9-5.
..but up.
Thought for sure someone was going to say …but loose.
Caught a break there.
C’mon Lux, light this candle.
Really need to tack on some runs here.
How many innings have we had this year with 7 or more runs?
I’m not sure. But I’d take another one right here!
Outside of the 2nd inning we have no runs and I think only two hits.
If I was a Marlins fan, I would love this pitcher’s glove.
And his delivery…
Kershaw ends the night with his era slightly higher than his batting average.
In reality, his ERA is more than ten times his BA.
That is… absolutely true.
I did the math.
Lol!
All about that decimal point!
JT with the snag!
Kersh at 88 pitches. Wonder what Doc will do?
Lower part of the order, I’d say he goes another inning.
With our pen, Id vote for 2!
Very nice play by Barnes.
Quick thinking and nice accurate throw to first.
Jeckyll and Hyde Kershaw tonight.
My friend always says that about himself when we play tennis (usually about his serving). Never sure if serving good = Jeckyll and serving bad = Hyde – or the other way around. He usually serves better with a bit of emotion…
Jeckyll good, Hyde bad. Luckily Kersh has been just a bit more Jeckyll tonight.
I’m aware that is the case in the book. I’m just saying in sports maybe playing a bit like Hyde is a good thing…
I can see how that would work. Albeit, a controlled rage.
Yeah – a combo of the two!
This is not optimum.
If ever there was a good time for a DP, this would seem to be it.
Just what I was going to type.
Does Max have more RBI’s in his bat?
Need to tack on some more runs.
If I call for a JT HR – maybe he will get a double!
Nope! Lol
I’ll take it.
Sadly, a four run lead with our bullpen of late makes such a statement necessary.
Ain’t that the truth.
I’m feeling a Seager double coming up here.
Half right. LOL
Yep. Half right.
Hi all. Checking in from Denver. Looking… weird? Better than it could be for sure.
That’s true.
How’s your sister?
She’s very happy. Big delicious dinner and lots of fun cards and presents.
Special moment(s) for sure.
11 pitch inning. Six innings is now a good possibility.
This may have come up earlier, but fun to see that Jon has updated his 100 Things Dodger Fans Should Know and Do book.
Kersh needs a quick clean inning.
Definitely clean and pretty quick.
Six innings just got more realistic.
His batting average and era are almost the same.
I’d feel more comfortable if the lead were 4-0.
What inning?
Right now.
Well that would mean Kersh was pitching better.
Kersh at 59 pitches already. Probably gonna need at least 4 innings from the bullpen.
Here’s hoping Kershaw can still make it through at least innings 4 and 5 and maybe even 6.
I’m thinking 5 tops. 6 would be ideal.
Agreed.
Kershaw’s era back over 3 now.
Duvall is especially loathsome as an ex-Gnat.
Good thing we scored 8.
Guess there is something in the air tonight, I mean besides balls.
Hold on…
That I did not need.
Rut-Row.
Ugh.
Could use a nice ground ball DP here.
Or a k and then another out would work as well…
Rojas has been with the Fish seven years! How time flies
I was kinda stunned by that info as well.
The woman who caught the HR ball – the ball looks huge in her glove. Very nice catch by her.
The good old rally killer!
Just waiting for 2 outs to get it started again?
Ended the Dodgers rally – but started one for the Marlins?
Max be back, back, back!
Muncy!!!
6 straight hits. Have they done that this year before tonight?
They scored 8 runs in an inning once – maybe then?
Longest sequence was s,s,d,bb,s in that inning.
And then later the gshr I guess.
Ha! I was looking at the wrong inning. In the 8 run inning it was sssdbbsss
Dodgers getting a walk or two makes sense.
I remember this feeling of nothing going right for a team…
Just gunna say, how about a productive hit?
How ‘bout that one from Max?!
Why aren’t the player wearing hats?
Lol!
Should have Dodger stadium camo caps. Palm trees and beach balls…
Woot!
C’mon Mook, bust it open.
Everybody hits tonight!
Indeed!
Kid K RBI club!
Bye bye – wait just missed it!
And AJ is injured again maybe.
You Steinered!
True!
AJRISP
Came in with OPS 1.084 in those situations.
Seeing eye single!
Wasted opportunity.
Another opportunity here.
I thought Taylor would score on the double.
If only there had been 2 outs…
Yep. No outs, gotta play it conservative.
Hey…a productive out. We should get it framed.
We may need to send Kid K a map to show him where the strike zone is tonight. Doesn’t seem to know so far.
Seems to have solved it on his own now.
The Gnats blow two late leads and lose to the Bucs in 11.
Our leads of 8-0 or even 13-0 are no longer safe. These become more like football scores where leads like that can be erased easily.
And it messes with the Dodgers run differential.
Go Victor go.
We’ve got to have better options than Santana. He needs to go down and work on things.
The perennial problem.
Unfortunately.
Come on, bullpen – ie Santana.
Uh. Yikes.
Maybe we will see our old buddies Dylan Floro and Yimi Garcia.
Yimi is apparently their closer now and Dylan the setup guy.
Glad they are apparantly doing well, but, I hope we take them down a notch or two.
Ideally, they won’t have any opportunities for holds or saves.
