I have talked about this before and I will keep talking until someone convinces Clayton Kershaw that change is good. Clayton is still an elite pitcher… maybe the best pitcher in baseball… especially if he would not be so predictable. Hitters know he wants that first pitch strike and they are ready – especially in the Playoffs.
Washington was jumping on his first pitch in the first inning and most of the game. I wonder if it has ever occurred to Clayton that he could throw a ball on the first pitch and they would swing anyway?
