Dodger notes 4-15
In 28 starts vs the Diamondbacks, Clayton Kershaw is now 15 and 9 with about a 2.50 era
At Dodger Stadium he is now 9-1 with about a 1.5 era
Jackie Robinson did not wear #42 before he got to the Dodgers.
That was just the number they have him when he showed up.
Numbers on jerseys used to be based on the batting order.
The last 42 in baseball was Mariano Rivera
71 years ago, when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, the attendance was a little bit over 26,000 at Ebbets Field
Robinson became the Rookie of the Year that year in 1947.
The color barrier in managing was not broken until 1975 when Frank Robinson was hired as a manager.
He was hired as a player/manager.
Frank Robinson was in attendance at the game today
Godley had only given up one earned run all year in his 16 Innings of work coming into today.
Coming into today Godley has only walked 1 hitter. He had only given up 96 walks in 266 Innings.
Last year there were 1000 fewer stolen bases than there were on average in the late 1980s.
There were only 29 players last year in the MLB that stole 20 bases or more.
In 2007 there were 297 pitch outs in anticipation of a base runner attempting to steal a base.
Last year there were just 129 pitch outs
Several years ago Tommy Lasorda was throwing batting practice in spring training.
There was a fan in the stands heckling The Hitter that he should be hitting better.
Lasorda said, if you think it's so easy why don't you come down and try .
The fan came down from the stands, took four swings and missed them all, then, without being asked, left the field and went back into the stands.
This is the 59th time that Kershaw has had double-digit strikeouts in a game.
Koufax did it 97 times
71 of Kershaw's 100 pitches were strikes.
He now has lowered his era to 1.73.
He has struck out 31 so far this year and walked just 3.
This game broke an 11-game regular season losing streak to the Diamondbacks for the Dodgers.
