Dodgers tie '66 Orioles with 33 scoreless innings.

[odanny]

The Dodgers have so many good pitchers that they now have "bullpen games", where they schedule 5-6 pitchers ahead of time, maybe even more.



LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers have no Clayton Kershaw, no Tyler Glasnow, no Tony Gonsolin, no Gavin Stone, no Dustin May and, for that matter, no Shohei Ohtani (the pitcher). They have Yoshinobu Yamamoto still building endurance after missing just shy of three months with a shoulder injury. They have Walker Buehler fighting to the finish line of a season in which he made it back from his second Tommy John surgery only to be bothered by a bad hip.

And through all that, they also have a record for postseason pitching excellence -- including a hidden perfect game.

It’s 33 consecutive scoreless innings and counting for Dodgers pitchers after Jack Flaherty, Daniel Hudson and Ben Casparius shut down the surging Mets with a three-hit shutout, 9-0, in Game 1 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium -- and matched the 1966 Orioles for the longest scoreless streak ever in a single postseason.

Those ‘66 Orioles, featuring 20-year-old future Hall of Famer Jim Palmer, went 33 innings without allowing a run over Games 1-4 of the 1966 World Series against, of all teams, the Dodgers, who were swept in a series that ended with three straight shutouts.

Now these Dodgers have won three straight shutouts of their own, starting with Games 4 and 5 of the NLDS against the Padres and continuing with an NLCS opener against the Mets that saw L.A. rewrite the record books.

Some idiot said the Dodgers barely won the series against the Padres. Two back to back shutouts and "barely" didn't ring the bell.

In the 8 to zip game the bullpen was great. Undeniably.

They certainly spend enough on their team, they should have that kind of pitching.

Any meat head can go out and buy up all the best players.

Like the Padres did, right?

 

[odanny]

Could you imagine if the Dodgers had incredible hitting instead of incredible pitching, and Ohtani started pitching instead? That's how loaded the Dodgers are.

Doesnt Hershiser have the record for straight 0s? Any of these pitchers on such a pace?

This is why the big market teams have won the most. They can afford to pay for the best talent. The Yankees have too long controlled the game.

MLB needs a hard salary cap.

Likely not. The current dodgers are getting shut outs by committy. Lol, have not heard Hershisers name in a while. The dodgers have had some great pitchers over time. I actually played against Tim Belcher in pony League and highschool. Not quite a Hershiser level pitcher but a very good one.

Well buying the series is not quite as effective as it was in the 90s and early 2000s but ya a cap is sorely needed. Really difficult to be a small market fan these days. My poor Reds have had a rough time of it in recent past. I am rooting for the Indians in the playoffs at the moment. They have chance. Praying for that small market team. The As and the Reds got a couple in the 90s. It's rare but it happens. They need to fix it.

Agreed.

I grew up in Detroit a Tigers fan. I recall Al Kaline lamenting in the 1960s being out of the pennant race by the All Star game, even though they were close to 500. The Yankees often ran away with it early in the season. Of course, back then there were only two divisions in both leagues. Only four teams made the post season.

I’m rooting for the Indians too.

Yep, Yankees for you growing up. Dodgers and Braves for me. When we were young there was not the disparity of contracts we have today. My beloved Reds were able to compete especially in the 70s. I don't remember exactly when it started but I do remember the first to literally purchase a championship was the Yanks and Red Socks. The disparity between what they spent and the rest of the League was crazy. From March thru January I spend almost all waking hours on lake Erie. Tough for me to follow baseball like I use to. For the past eight years I have paid the bills fishing and duck hunting. When I ran an appraisal office I had season tickets to the Reds. Had them for a little over 20 years.

Didn't take long for Lindor to break the streak, they remain tied with Baltimore.

I like the Mets to win the World Series.

As a Cardinals fan it is hard to watch our former players kick ass for another team.
