Kershaw PERFECT through 7 innings

A perfect game going … I would have told him, it’s his call. If he told he’s had enough, then I (as manger) would have taken the blame.
Waiting to see if there is more on this. All pitchers are on pitch counts right now after the shorter ST, but this feels like the only thing (along with a straight no hitter) that should trump this.

I have to believe there was some room for input from Kershaw and he agreed to coming out.
 
What do you think the reaction from Bob Gibson would have been had the manager tried to pull him from a perfect game bid? I’d say Bob Gibson would finish the game and the manager would be missing some teeth

Zero respect for Kershaw

Hey, Reggie, you don't know shit about baseball.



:dhd: :pop2:


Just like many players.

Kershaw is 34 years old, has had 6 stints on IR in the last 6 seasons (including 2 last season), missed last seasons playoffs because of injury, he didn't pick up a baseball until January, had 3 week spring training and it was his first game in a season where the Dodgers are favored to win the World Series and need him healthy if they want to make that happen.

But yeah, let's put that at risk to chase what is ultimately an individual accolade on a Wednesday in April.

Btw, when Roberts talked to him after the 6th, Kershaw said "I'd like to go back out for the 7th and 80, 85 pitches, that's kind of where I want to finish". After the game he said..."as much as I would have wanted to do it, I've thrown 75 pitches in a simulated game and I hadn't gone 6 innings, let alone 7...We're here to win and this was the right choice".
 
Plus I 100% remember one of them claiming to be an Angels fan on Fannation

Nothing is lamer than the "I saw one of their fans say this on some other site" comment.

Braves fans bringing the stupid to the thread.

Nothing is lamer than defending a 10 play manager and a 10 ply brittle bitch pitcher

If you were a batter Bob Gibson was a top rate asshole, other than that Bob Gibson was a pretty decent person ... and Red Schoendienst was way too smart. In 1968, Gibson started 34 games and completed 28 of them (13 were shut outs)!!!
