    Wow, that's sad. I think he's been battling cancer? Man, loved watching him a kid. I'll always value BA/OBP over SLG, and he's a big reason why.

    I was so hoping this was a FB post

    One of my all-time favorites. Damn.
  • Ironman92
    Just glance at his batting average and number of strikeouts each year. He was so damn good.

    Why do we care? Nobody here ever met him and he doesn't effect our lives?

    /end people who don't understand celebrities and public figures effect people on an emotional level.

    That was when it was seen as 'bad' to strikeout and there was some shame to it!

    TG was a fantastic hitter, no dout about that.

    I kinda forgot that he had some wheels when he was younger. 5 times he stole more bases than he struck out?

    Lorenzo Cain just made a catch in CF that I'm not sure anyone else makes

    Dunner #452 ties him 35th all-time with Carl Yastrzemski

    No hitter going in 8th for Kershaw....
  • Fab1b
    He got it

    That was dominance. Fucking Hanley throwing a relatively routine bouncer away. Tough play, but as much as these guys face it, routine.

    Thank god I didn't face Kershaw this week in fantasy. He dropped 52 points last night. For reference, Lonnies amazing game was 27 which is incredible for a hitter and 52 is pretty much as much or more so ridiculous. I faced Beckett during his no hitter and it was "only" 41.

    Advanced "stats" or whatever you want to call it has this as the 2nd best game ever for a pitcher, with a score of 102 (I think thats correct). Only Kerry Woods 20 K game is higher.

    I wish they could/would factor in how good the opposition was.....in Kershaw's case quite formidable
  • Ironman92
    2nd best of the year
