Kershaw pulled after 7 perfect innings and 80 pitches
I'm not even a baseball fan, but I find this incredible. In the history of the MLB, there have been 23 perfect games, why not give him a shot? He only had 80 pitches on the day. Maybe there is more to the story like an injury, but it doesn't sound like it at this point. |

I would have been irate if I was Kershaw. He should have refused to come out of the game.
Roberts is an idiot. Last edited by Wisconsin_Chief; 04-13-2022 at 02:19 PM.. |

As a Dodgers fan? The only explanation is that Roberts is a ****ing idiot.
Yeah you could argue what ifs about injuries but the dude is at the tail end of his career. Let him go for it and pull him if he screws it up. |

Probably did him a favor. Now people are wondering what if instead of memeing him after he inevitably choked it away with a blooper into left in the 9th.

I love baseball, always have, but I have no illusions about why baseball is dying.

Geez. Do they have to pay him extra if he's perfect?

Like did the Dodgers score negative two runs so they were technically losing and needed the bat ----- oh shit DH in the NL now... WTF.?!?
Why pull him after 7 perfect innings and ONLY 80 pitches?!?! Had to be precautionary right? Maybe Kershaw felt some tightness in the elbow or something along those lines?

Makes no sense. First start. Only at 80 pitches. You have the lead.
You can pull him after he gives up a hit.

Roberts is just doing what he's told from above, as all managers do these days (at least on the "smart" teams). If you don't do that, you won't be employed as a manager for too long.
Baseball isn't really a sport so much these days as it is a micromanaged board game run by Ivy Leaguers with econ/stats degrees. |

There's just no way Roberts takes the ball from him if Kershaw didn't sign off on it. I mean he was cruising. He could've finished that game at 100 pitches the way he was flying through the Twins. He didn't have to go for the Ks anymore and could've pitched to contact some. If he wanted a shot, Roberts would've given it to him. Especially with the DH.
