Clayton Kershaw throws a NO-HITTER vs. Colorado!

[Austin]

Wow! 15 strikeouts! What a game and on his way to another Cy Young season.

logged on expecting to see a 5 page thread on his performance, man this place is dead.

going to be unloading a spx rc auto of Kershaw soon, /50 iirc, pm if interested.

shouldve been a perfect game...thx hanley. what are your favorite kershaw cards?

 

[TNP777]

Very happy right now. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Love his humility, love his emotion. So glad he pitches for my team.

Too bad Hanley flubbed that throw. I know nobody feels worse than he does.

Very cool. I missed the Burnett no-no on mlb.tv, but I watched King Felix lose another masterful performance and then flicked over to the Dodgers game

 

[Austin]

15 Ks is the most strikeouts ever by a lefthander in a no-hitter.
And second most all-time by anyone (Nolan Ryan had 16 Ks.)

 

[Waxov]

That is as good of a performance as you will ever see...ever!

I live in Colorado so watched the game end to end (albeit on Rockies broadcast) and Kershaw was just incredible all night long. 15 strikeouts and at least half of them were from the patented 12-6 curve dropping off the table. Only a couple of hard hit balls all night long all for foul balls. Hanley flubbed the throw on a routine grounder to kill the perfecto but a no-doubt no-hitter. Best pitcher in baseball, highest paid, 2 Cy Youngs - pretty much all that was left was a no-no and now he's got that. Couldn't happen to a better person either.

He and Juan Uribe can commiserate.
Uribe's error was the only blemish on an otherwise perfect game by Jonathan Sanchez in 2009.

Amazing performance! He's a class player, and I'm glad to see him accomplish this feat.

Congrats to Kershaw on an amazing no-hitter. That was awesome!

To Hanley's defense he was playing with an injured hand/finger that he had to get X-rays on...that may have had something to do with the errant throw.


Huge congrats to Kershaw, and to do it with only 107 pitches is very impressive. I'm surprised this is his first no-no but I think it will be the first of many. #ModernDayKoufax

Read that his game score was the second highest of all time..102

 

[Topnotchsy]

Was debating on pulling the trigger on this before the no-no. IMO he's basically the pitching version of Mike Trout right now. Young player playing at a historically high level.

 

[Juan Gris]

So close to being a perfect game...

 

[James52411]

Total Domination. The Rockies generally had no chance. So glad for MLB Network as it allowed me to watch the last few innings.

PS: Thanks Hanley!

pretty much all that was left was a no-no and now he's got that.

ummm, he has no world series bling so there is some stuff left to accomplish.

I am liking the dodgers chances more and more - they are getting their s*** together lately and the Giants are choking.

Choking? That's too weak of a word to use.

Giants are giving those games back like Jesse Pinkman driving around through the hood in a guilt-ridden haze, throwing his money out the window.

 

[Sig40cal]

Congrats to him. I only saw the highlights but even from just them it looked like a truly dominant night on the mound.

Nice card, but 9.5 centering?
