Like a pot slowly coming to a boil, the conversation surrounding Clayton Kershaw starting the All-Star game later this month has transformed from a local topic of discussion to a national debate.

He struck out 10 without yielding a single walk.
The Dodgers franchise pitcher’s ERA now stands at 2.40 after 11 starts. An All-Star-worthy-ERA some might say.
Count Freddie Freeman among those saying it.
