It’s become an annual event at Dodger Stadium, much like Friday night fireworks, only more explosive.
The script has involved different supporting actors and props in recent years, but the story is always the same.
The best pitcher on the planet carries the Dodgers into the late innings, but clearly begins to tire. He wants to keep pitching, but his manager wants to save his arm.
The manager wins. Kershaw gets pulled. There is an animated discussion. Kershaw shakes his head. Kershaw scowls. Everyone interprets.
The Dodgers are annoying their best player! He’s never going to forget this!
