  1. I fucking love Kershaw days. You can always count on Clayton to go out there and handle business. 🙌🏼

  8. Also… Man our offense is so damn fun to watch this year 🔥 obviously we’re all concerned with our bullpen and back end of our starting rotation (aka Thor), but at least we don’t have to worry about the offense! Our bats are ridiculous this year, which I wasn’t really expecting coming into the season. Lets goooo Dodgers!! 🔵⚪️

  13. Dodgers have 8 outings of 7 IP this year.

    Kershaw has 5 of them.

    Once again comes up huge when the Dodgers are at their lowest and has the last two Dodger victories on his back

  15. This was a very winnable series but at least we got a win out of it in the end. With Urias coming back soon hopefully we get out of this funk where our pitching is the problem and can get back on a roll

  16. Kershaw, Miller, Scott and Robertson carrying this burning pile of a pitching staff on their backs.

  20. Pitching was ass the first two games, but today’s shutout was very satisfying. Kershaw was dominant, and great hitting by everyone, especially Peralta.

  21. Cincinnati. You will always remember this as the day you almost swept the Los Angeles Dodgers.

  23. A revenge walloping and *possibly* rest days due to the smoke over Philadelphia and games cancelled. We need to reflect on this and *cough* make some *cough DFA Thor cough* decisions.

    Side note: just heard a bunch of LA (& US) firefighters are heading to Canada to fight the fight. Go get ’em!

  28. Thank God for Kershaw for righting the ship when we needed it most

  34. What a wonderful game and I knew we could do it. ![img](emote|t5_2ra0i|13043)![img](emote|t5_2ra0i|13033)

  35. This game makes me feel a little better. We can always count on the offense to score. Pitching just needs to be more consistent. We could’ve easily taken 2 games this series.

    Once again Kershaw delivers a dominant performance. Let’s go take care of the Phillies.

  36. Syndergaard, this is how it should look like when your team scored 6 runs.
