Clayton Kershaw vs The Washington Nationals...

The Washington Nationals saw the best and the worst of the Los Angeles Dodgers' '06 1st Round pick Clayton Kershaw last season. The 6'3'', 21-year-old left-hander shut DC down over 6.0 shutout innings on the hill in Dodger Stadium in which he allowed just 4 hits and 1 walk with 6 K's in a 2-0 LA win on July 27th, and then a month later, on August 28th in Nationals Park, Kershaw gave up 5 hits and 5 ER on 2 HR's and 3 walks in just 2.1 IP, in a game the Nationals went on to win big by a score of 11-2...

The Nationals dropped all three games of their late-July series in Dodger Stadium last season, before exacting revenge with a Nationals Park-sweep a month later. In 2007, Mike Bacsik, Chris Schroder and Saul Rivera took three straight losses in LA. '06? Late July? Really want to know? 0-3...The Nationals dropped all three games to the Dodgers in '06...Please, 2005? Please?...Yes, Washington took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers in 2005...Haven't  won a game in Dodger Stadium since...May 4, 2005. Washington 2-10 in LA since the move from Montreal...

Nationals vs Kershaw...

Ronnie Belliard - 1 for 3, 1 2B.

Cristian Guzman - 2 for 2, 1 HR, 1 RBI. 

Elijah Dukes - 1 for 1, 1 HR, 3 RBI's. 

Adam Dunn - 2 for 2, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI. 

Ryan Zimmerman - 2 for 5, 1 2B. 

Daniel Cabrera vs LA...

Cabrera played with the Orioles before coming to DC, so he's only started once against LA so far in this, his sixth MLB season. He did, however spend a long time in the AL East...against Manny Ramirez...

DC's Own DC vs Manny...

Manny Ramirez vs Cabrera - 7 for 21, .333 AVG, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI's, 4 BB, .440 OBP, .524 SLG.

The Kids Call It The Streak...

23 games and counting? Ryan Zimmerman hasn't gone hitless in a game since April 7th in Florida...Yes, the second game of the season...The Nationals' Face of the Franchise© enters play today in LA with a .333 AVG, 11 doubles, 5 HR's, 19 RBI's, a .390 OBP, 574 SLG and a .964 OPS, a 148 OPS+...

And A Streak...

Ryan Zimmerman in LA...

Ryan Zimmerman in Dodger Stadium:

Zim - 9 G, 38 AB's, 6 H, 1 HR, 3 RBI's, 6 K's, .171 AVG, .237 OBP.

Fire Belliard

please don’t ever allow ronnie belliard to play in a game again. Did anyone else get to watch his twice in one inning pinch hit appearance where he accounted for two outs against Houston? Hernandez can play everyday, might as well let the kid practice and work out defensive kinks at this point. Belliard is good for a K and GIDP everynight.

Also Dibble is the man, I love hearing him as the color guy.

Beimel is the only reliever worth a crap in our bullpen.

by VA SLIM on May 7, 2009 1:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

Ronnie B is being used wrong.

His career numbers against lefties are ungodly, but against right handers are weak. He should only bat against left handers!

belliard

is a living cancer on the field. he slacks off on every pop up, foul or fair. I know personally from sitting field level last labor day that he does not like to be called out for his lack of hustle. I suggested some exercises that would assist his speed and flexibility but he blew me off.

basically I wouldn’t wish him on the marlins. and i hate the marlins.

Um, you can vote for Zimmerman and still vote for Milledge. You see Zimmerman plays 3B and Milledge is slated as an outfielder on the ballot. That’s how that works.
