OT: Kershaw No-No!!!

[HOF Auto Rookies]

What a game!!! He is the best lefty I have ever gotten to witness. Could not have happened to a nicer guy (and yes, I have met him outside of the park).

Nice 45 points for the Wildfireschulte fantasy team.

Too bad Ramirez can't throw.

What a night for Kershaw. No-No, 15 Strikeouts, and called by Vin Scully!

The Dodgers never seem to lack incredible starting pitchers. Kershaw is up there with the very best.

Oof, my fantasy opponent has him, too. I had Felix Hernandez going tonight. He K'd 10, but got yet another no no. He's allowed 2 earned runs in his last three games, and he's 0-1 for the effort.

Too bad the darned Mariners can't score any runs for him.

I am so happy to have MLB Network (on the East Coast). I can't believe the analysts in the studio that actually "called it" that he'd throw a "no-no" after 4 perfect innings. Kershaw was definitely "on" tonight and it was apparent!

His stuff was sick and he was in complete control of the game. Interesting that they pulled Hanley between innings after his errant throw. Apparently he injured his throwing hand a few days ago, which might have been the reason for the E6.

Awesome game except for the Ramirez error

[the 'stache]

I love having MLB.tv. I didn't see the end of the game, but I was able to bring it up and watch the final inning. Six pitches. Wow.

[clydepepper]

I believe his herky-jerky motion has a lot to do with deceiving the hitters.

A calm, smooth delivery is like a ballet, but it can be timed.

[Griffins]

Just got back from the game, he was completely overpowering.

[clydepepper]

I am sooo sick of the back-ground music that accompanies not only all highlight clips but even graphics showing managerial records.

Enough already!

Robert W. Creamer said in Ken Burns' 'Baseball' that Stengel would go on and on because he hated 'dead air' - do they dare compare themselves?

Fantasy made watching the no-no ever so sweet.

As if it wasn't sweet enough having Vin do the narration.

I thought the same thing when I read the box score. He is lucky that Kershaw is such a nice guy.

Got a call at 11 am yesterday from my friend (of 30 years) who lives in San Francisco, he was in town and one of his vendors had tickets to the game and our other friend from high school was in...Did I want to go? I said sure...So the three high school friends settle in for a night of live baseball (when we were younger we had season tix to the dodgers but the three of us had not been to a game together in several years)...And then Kershaw...scary good...curve, slider, fastball all excellent last night. By the end of the fourth people were already talking. no walks, 15 ks...just dominance. So awesome to be there with my friends.

This was the second no hitter I have seen (Ramon Martinez was the other) but this was one of the best pitching performances I have ever seen.

I worked with Kershaw's step-mom here in Dallas, and knew his dad Chris. They were always very friendly and humble, and I adopted a rescue dog from them after they had brought it in off the street. I haven't talked to either of them in the last couple years, and I just googled them to maybe get back in touch with Carolyn. I'm sad to learn that Clayton's dad Chris passed away a little more than a year ago. Like Clayton, he was brought up here in Dallas and lived a pretty interesting life. As far as I know, Chris once helped coach both Clayton Kershaw and Matt Stafford together when they were playing baseball and football at Highland Park HS. I've never met Clayton but his dad was a pretty cool dude.

agree with bill i have the package awesome great game to watch,happy for him ,,but go oakland as lol

[jp1216]

I saw him pitch a couple years ago in St. Louis. I was amazed. This guy is one of those rare legit #1 starters that few teams have. Always great to see a true #1 get a no-no.

[calvindog]

You can see all of his outs in this short video; I don't know how any pitcher could have a more dominant game. Maybe one semi-hard hit ball off him the whole night. One tough fielding play. The other 26 outs were creampuffs (15 of them strikeouts).

[CW]

wrong thread, but congrats to Kershaw.

[yanksfan09]

I love this guy, so happy for him. He's signed a couple things for me through the mail over the years too. Great guy and amazing talent. Helped out one of my fantasy teams too!

[clydepepper]

Thanks Jeff - awesome!

[GaryPassamonte]

My favorite active player. Not a card, but a Kershaw gamer.

I believe I read somewhere that of his 15 strikeouts, 14 of them were on his curveball.

Yea he, along with Josh Hamilton are two of the best star mail signers today.

It took about 11 months for the baseball to come back but I think I'm 2 for 2 in Kershaw attempts the last 2 years now. 1 blank signature card and 1 baseball. I think Kerhsaw signs everything early in spring training. I sent out late spring last year and got back following February I think. Hamilton usually signs in December around the holidays I think.

I met Hamilton when I was a HS freshman and he was at AA (before his car accident). He gave me his home address and corresponded for a while. He is a class act.
