The Dodgers had a great day on Wednesday afternoon. That bats came alive, the weather held up enough for them to get the win in, and Clayton Kershaw was vintage. He struck out 13 batters and did not allow a single baserunner in the process. But that decision to remove Kersh from the game has sparked quite the controversy.
Given that he was 80 pitches in and had thrown 7 perfect innings, that controversy isn’t going anywhere soon. The Dodgers skipper made the call to play it safe and take Kersh out. Naturally, fans were pretty upset with the decision.
