Kuroda Is Near Perfect — FantasyFanatics.com Fantasy Sport Articles
33-year old rookie Hiroki Kuroda attracted some national attention by flirting with a perfect game against the Atlanta Braves. The Braves struggles were expected as they had played a 17-inning game on Sunday that was also 2 hours delayed due to rain, then flew cross country to Los Angeles. Nonetheless, Kuroda deserves some praise for his sensational control and great performance allowing one ...

Monday fantasy wrap — Fantasy Sports
BY ADAM RONIS
Hiroki Kuroda took a perfect game into the eighth inning and lost it on a leadoff double by Mark Teixeira . It was the only base runner the 33-year-old rookier from Japan allowed in a one-hitter to go along with six strikeouts in a 91-pitch outing. He missed 18 days with a sore shoulder and returned last week and threw seven scoreless innings to beat the Astros. Kuroda has ...
Closing Time: A good night for several under-owned pitchers — Roto Arcade
Hiroki Kuroda just became a nice fantasy trade chip. This was his pitching line on Monday: 9.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K. The right-hander had a perfect game through seven innings, and settled for near-perfection after Mark Teixeira doubled to lead-off the eighth. That's 16 scoreless innings for Kuroda since his return from the DL. He began the night only 25.3 percent-owned. ...
Wow! — dodgerfan.net
You can’t beat watching the Dodgers take a share of first place with a one-hitter by Hiroki Kuroda . What a game. Damn that Mark Teixeira! In all seriousness, it was a masterful pitching performance: 9 innings, 1 hit, six strikeouts, no walks. Tantalizingly close to a perfect game. Hopefully this game was as inspirational to the Dodgers as it was to their fans. A little trivia ...
One-Hit Wonder: Dodgers 3, Braves 0 — 6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog
Carrying a perfect game through seven, Hiroki Kuroda finally succumbed to a Mark Teixeira double down the right field line in the top of the seventh, but Kuroda kept the shutout and the win, provided thanks to a two-run homer by Nomar Garciaparra. A gorgeous play by Blake DeWitt on Gregor Blanco's bunt attempt squelched an infield single attempt to lead off the seventh, and Angel Berroa saved ...
MLB.com: Kuroda brilliant in one-hitting Braves — BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
Hiroki Kuroda was nearly perfect Monday in the Dodgers’ 3-0 victory over the Braves in front of 39,896 to open the series.
Instead, he was just very good and settled for a one-hit shutout after his bid for a perfect game was spoiled in the top of the eighth inning as Mark Teixeira laced a double into the right-field corner.

Kuroda blows perfect game, on purpose. — Bugs & Cranks
When Hiroki Kuroda took the mound in the 8th inning against the Atlanta Braves he was sure of one thing: he had to give up a hit. He wasn’t sure how and he wasn’t sure why, but he had learned less than two weeks earlier that teams that throw no-hitters don’t win games.
That’s a pretty ridiculous idea. I just wanted to remind everyone how the Angels threw an ...
Kuroda Chokes Perfect Game Away, Stumbles to One-Hitter — Sons of Steve Garvey
Wasting a fine defensive play by Blake DeWitt, Dodger starter Hiroki Kuroda couldn't even achieve a no-hitter, let alone a perfect game, succumbing to a lone double from Atlanta's Mark Teixeira.
DeWitt, who hasn't made an error since May, barehanded a bunt attempt by Gregor Blanco and nailed him at first base for the first out of the seventh inning. Kuroda retired the side but promptly ...
Post-Game 89 Thread: So This Is What First Place Feels Like — Sons of Steve Garvey
I'm not usually a fan of identifying turning points in a season, but it's hard to overlook tonight. Hiroki Kuroda topped his recent complete-game four-hitter against the Cubs by nearly throwing a perfect game against a Braves lineup that included Chipper Jones and Mark Teixeira. (Score one for Ned Colletti.)
Kuroda's eventual 91-pitch complete-game one-hitter put the Dodgers in first ...
Line of the Day: Hiroki Kuroda — Fantasy Hurler
True story: A guy in my money league cut Kuroda this morning, mere hours before he came thisclose to throwing a perfect game. Earlier in the year, in the same league, a different manager cut Jon Lester the morning of his no-hitter. I can only surmise that getting released in my money league motivates pitchers to achieve greatness. Or maybe we just have trigger-happy managers. Hiroki Kuroda: ...
Watched: Braves @ Dodgers — Watching the Game
I have never seen a no-hitter. Not in person and not on television. So when I heard that Hiroki Kuroda had put down every hitter he'd faced through five innings, I turned on the game. I figured that as soon as I started watching, the Braves would get a hit. But he put them down in order in the sixth and then he got Chipper Jones to weakly ground out to end a perfect seventh and I started to ...
