This was the first time Kershaw has ever faced the Twins. Most of these players have never faced him before. This was a great opportunity for him to pitch a perfect game for that one reason alone. No hitters are one thing, but the opportunity for a perfect game rarely comes along. He should have stayed in the game.
It’s been nearly 8 years and I’m still mad at Hanley for that error that would have been a perfect game for Kersh.
I fully understand. I grew up an Expos fan and I still think about Bip Roberts breaking up Pedro's perfect game on June 3rd, 1995. Nothing like a perfect game.
@@Billkeys123 I was at that game. The moan of the stadium is a sound I will always remember. Either way, it was a magical night to be in dodger stadium
Well you cant blame roberts, even Kershaw said it was the right move
It was a late spring training so pitchers couldnt even get ready. They arent even fully warmed up until June/July usually. And Kershaw was coming off an injury that some people thought couldve ended his career.
Hopefully a sign of things to come this year. Would love to see him reach 200 wins by the end of this season.
Do you mean 20 or is this a r/whoosh moment?
@@allahmoe1557 he means 200 career wins
@@allahmoe1557 Are you downsy? there's 162 games in a season...
At the rate they are pulling him, he will never get there. Nobody else ever will
@@CheeseMasterSports you only need to pitch 5 innings to earn the W lol
I was at the game as a twins fan and after 5 I was all ready rooting for the dodgers
Don’t ever for any reason root for the dodgers
@@atlbraves1983 They’re gonna clap your moms and braves cheeks this postseason lol
@@atlbraves1983 Man them Mets going to give the Braves problems.
You're a horrible fan then
@@atlbraves1983 got it also my favorite player since I was 3 Eddie Rosario plays for the Atlanta Braves
Did that really happen? Dude was in their minds. That was insane.
My guy this is what Prime Kershaw did every week back then.
@@Billkeys123 The only difference is that he had a 95 MPH fastball back then.
Hall of famer Kershaw.
I’m blessed I got to see Kershaw since he first started.
Many compared Kershaw to Koufax, but I thought it was not fair since Koufax set the bar so high.
You know I read somewhere that Koufax himself said that Kershaw was better than he was. I don't know if this is literally true, but Koufax has always been effusive in his praise of Kershaw. Unfortunately back problems never go away.
@@greatloverofmusic1 Kershaw is one of the goats but Koufax gets the slight edge imo.
@@greatloverofmusic1 you can’t really compare two different eras of baseball, but they are both some of the best pitchers of their respective eras.
@@eastwest42286 Sure you can. Given the games' long and rich history, one of the many pleasures of baseball is to compare players, teams, ballparks etc...For example, you have to admit to having definite opinions about, say, how Mike Trout measures up to Mays or Mantle. Just saying.
he will cruise in
dave Roberts leads the league in pulling pitchers out of no-hitters and leads the league in leaving pitchers when they are struggling
Vintage Kershaw 🔥🔥💯💯👏👏
A nice gem, I ain’t gonna forget this.
We will never see anymore perfect games or no-hitters with these managers taking out their pitchers early. I get it you want to keep your starters fresh and healthy. However, any starting pitcher can get injured at anytime of the game early or late. Heck he can throw out his arm during practice. Give the man his chance to secure his very first ever perfect game. 🤦🏻♂️
His very first? They only happen every couple dozen years or so. Taking him out was a travesty.
It wasn't simply about keeping him fresh and healthy. Kershaw is 34 years old and coming off an injury. Its his first game after a shortened spring training where he was likely planned to only go 5 innings. He went through 5 and he and his catcher said he was losing a feel for his slider during the 6th inning. And it looked like it. He's not built up to go that deep into a game yet. It was the right call. Maybe if this was his 3rd start, I'd understand.
To allow Kershaw to continue and throw a perfect game would have been considered ‘white privilege’.
@@Humanistic_ don’t buy it...they could have taken it (1) batter at a time. We are only talking (6) outs.
Kershaw told Roberts to pull him out.
MLB! Always show the UP CLOSE replay when it's THAT awesome! 2:40
Great to see a finesse pitcher rack up the Ks and throw perfect innings
Maybe if the MLB wants more fans they'll worry more about managers ruining the games.
Kershaw told Roberts to pull him
That’s what you call vintage Kershaw
Kershaw is back baby....
This guy gotta be the most consistent pitcher in the league
Legend
Makes it look easy
The 🐐. Masterclass.
Roberts should have given Kershaw a chance at the perfect game.
And risk getting him hurt, perhaps permanently, over essentially just a stat? Kershaw's 34 with a lot of miles on his arm and recent injury plagued seasons. This is April baseball, not September or October baseball. Kershaw's going into the Hall of Fame someday already, even if he retires today. Hitting 200 wins and beyond will mean more to him than a single perfect game and would bolster his legacy towards becoming a first ballot Hall of Famer. Besides, he's a team player and wants to be at his best for the team. For most other players, you leave them in if they're in that situation. Not for Clayton Kershaw at this point and under these circumstances, though.
@@zyxwut321 what you're saying is irrelevant tbh. dude was dealing, let the man play
Just 80 pitches
Kershaw himself was cool with being removed. I’d rather not lose a month of Kershaw when he hasn’t been fully stretched out as a starter. More Kershaw is better for everyone but opposing batters.
@@hiimrye_ Exactly, and his reactions weren't showing any concerning signs. He was smooth throughout all the innings. He didn't even look tired.
Putting the entertainment part and the accomplishments of the players ahead of realistic thinking is what will make MLB grow!
Kershaw could have pitched 2 perfect games already. His no-hitter was a Hanley Ramirez error away from one. Here, he was taken out in the 7th. Man, what could have been. Side note: I attended Dennis Martinez's perfect game at Dodger Stadium as a kid. I was the only one pouting and sitting down as everyone in Dodger Stadium was giving him a standing ovation during his last pitch. LOL
P. D.
Shame on you ;-)
From an Expos fan
That was one of the alltime great moments in Expos' history
El Presidente, el perfecto !
Such an amazing game! I wish he could’ve stayed in, but it’s understandable why he didn’t.
Why
@@GouldGoopers Cuz target field was freaking cold today. it was only 37F out there. due to shortened spring camp and considering kershaw’s age, it’s too dangerous gamble to make him throw full game
@@GouldGoopers Spring was short so they aren’t fully to a normal length yet for starters. He already has a long injury history so he could lose serious time if they push too hard
But still have 157 games left… couldve just gave him 2 starts off come on now let him have his perfect game!!
@@GouldGoopers analytics
Although he did get pulled in the 8th, this was Kershaw at his finest. If he can be as meticulous while staying healthy, WATCH OUT.
AGREEED!
Vintage Kershaw
It’s become such a front office driven, efficiency/numbers obsessed sport. Who cares if the guy’s going for one of the most hallowed feats in the game, there might be *gasp* risk involved. And you can’t risk damage to an asset (remember they’re not athletes anymore, just depreciating assets) over something as meaningless to the bottom line as a perfect game in the regular season. They have an algorithm that says x number of pitches is the cutoff point and that’s that. The point is no longer to strive for greatness or achieve something special, it’s to maximize profits by being as efficient as possible with your resources and if you happen to win or achieve something great along the way that’s fine but it’s not the ultimate goal. (I know the Dodgers actually do spend but I’m talking more about the overall mindset that pervades front offices).
None of this matters in this instance cause it wasn’t the front office or the coaching staffs choice to pull him. They asked Kershaw and he told them to pull him after the 7th. In this case there’s no point in arguing. It is 100% the choice of the player.
You don’t understand that the goal of baseball is not to get accolades but to win and it really helps having a healthy Kershaw
@@krozlyvassos3169 individual accolades have always been important in baseball and this was early in the season. If there was an indication that he had injured something maybe but as it was it was a bad move.
@@jl5574 he literally said he was tired and that his slider wasn’t working anymore. What more do you need
@@krozlyvassos3169 well then it’s more understandable I didn’t read that at the time.
He will regret not trying to finish this game for the rest of his life. Pitch count be damned!
Not his choice. Blame Roberts.
He was only at 80 pitches. He easily could have gone back out their for at least the 8th
"Ski mask Roberts" back to robbing his pitchers.😑
Blame it on the A-A-A-A-A Analytics.
@@assmane999 It's ridiculous. Why bother watching this sport if you tune in and see a legendary ace being pulled after 80 pitches and 21 outs?
I haven’t seen this version of Kershaw in years🔥🔥
There's the Kershaw I'm used to seeing. 🤣🤣
Legend never dies. 👏👏👏💕
I get that they’re resting him and its a long season, but this truly kills the entertainment of baseball and a shame to the fans
He’s finally back!
King Kershaw! 🐐
keep up the good command and release point! good job
I’m a cardinals fan but wow that is amazing
What a shame!!! Let the man keep the perfect game going he was 6 outs away!!
🐐🐐🐐
Should have kept him in. Idc if you say "it's for his health" he's perfect with 80 pitches into the 8th I am not taking him out
That’s the new MLB. Bubble wrapping athletes.
And what happens if he gets hurt in his 1st start
@@dodgers4life244 Plenty of time to recover...
Dude, I could not agree more. MLB, NBA, NFL.. all have become soft in that regard. I get it, they see these athletes through the lense of = $$$.. so they're protecting their assets.. but my goodness, it's not like he had exhausted the pitch count.. leave him in!
@@dethtron Exactly! I'm glad Kersh wasn't too upset about it tho
Clayton Chokeshaw is back
In the old day Roberts would be the 14th KO lying in the dugout, and all the players would have been like : “yeah, he had that coming.”
No your a clown bud
Wow.. just wow. Master class. I wasn’t worthy of witnessing that.. 😳😁
Clayton Kershaw Is Unstoppable In His 2022 Pitching Debut For The Los Angeles Dodgers
He's stoppable allright, ask Dave Roberts
If I was kersh, me and Dave Roberts are gonna have some words
He said he’s cool with it. His health is more important because that’s how he gets another championship
ruclips.net/video/loW16mC202Y/видео.html
Good ol Kersh 👈😎💙
Clayton is still the man!
As a Twins fan, even I was pissed to see that!!!
I wanna see this in the postseason
You won’t
@@lou2056 You clearly don’t get it

If that was me I would’ve had words with my manager. That’s unreal by Dave Roberts.
Well that's why you're at home on RUclips. Sit down and shut up
He did have words with Roberts, in the 6th he told him to pull him after the 7th.
I like how the title makes it sound like a good thing
Roberts holds the record for most ruined no hitters/perfect games.
Best pitcher in baseball
LOL at the people who thought pulling him was the safe option since they needed him for October.
Reason Why Scherzer didn't want to sign with the dodgers. Notice how the dodgers babysit their pitchers but yet still keep getting hurt. always a fan of Kershaw but not Robert's. #GoDodgers
Scherzer literally got was upset he got overworked with the dodgers in the playoffs thats quite literally the opposite scenario than it was here
This wasn’t Roberts choice, no one actually decides to look into what happened and immediately blame the managers. Kershaw was asked what he wanted to do.
Doyers fan, love Dave still. But give Kersh at least until 100 pitches! The way he was going, he could have got the last 6 batters in those 20 pitches.
Dave Robert's is full it if winning a WS is the goal why is Cody bellinger playing everyday?
@@trollpolice because you can’t just get rid of him and they’re not paying him that much to sit on the bench that’s ridiculous
Now, now, now ladies. Princess Kershaw might have broken a nail going out in the 8th.
Slider is insane
Wow
Never take your pitcher out with a perfect game in tact, unreal
Analytics says 80 pitches is enough.
@@kevinfinnerty8414 Sad, isn't it? They were leading 3-0 at the time, no way they were gonna lose by keeping him in the game. Maybe he would have reached (gasp) 105 pitches.
Watching the Nationals/Pirates game today. (I bet on it) the Nats starting pitcher is getting blasted. He’s given up 7 hits and 5 runs and a couple of walks. And he’s still in their in the 5th inning. Analytics says let him work himself out of a jam I guess. lol!!!! There’s no Quick hook when a pitcher is performing badly. If he was pitching well, he would be out of the game already. It really is Pitiful. Analytics ruined sports. Thanks Brad Pitt.

Bro found his slider. One pitch kershaw. In cold Minnesota too
Good video
I despise Dave Roberts, and I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan. I had season seats back in the late 70s and early 80s, and I saw the great managers, Walt Alston and Tommy Lasorda ply their trade. There's no way either of them would've pulled Kershaw at that point.
Roberts did the same thing to Ross Stripling during a no hitter. The Dodgers make the post season every year in spite of Dave Roberts, not because of him. I wish the Dodgers had a REAL Dodger as their manager, like Dusty Baker or Mike Scioscia.
I also despise pitch counts. Baseball survived for over a hundred years by letting starters stay in as long as they had their stuff. Pulling a starter because of the number of pitches he's thrown is an abomination.
And the thing is, there are far more injuries among pitchers today than there were when starters often pitched 300 innings in a season. In 1972, Wilbur Wood started 49 games and tossed 376 innings. The next year, 48 starts and 359 innings. But now, they toss 80 pitches, and despite having a perfect game, they get yanked.
In 1968, Denny McLain of the Tigers won 31 games! 41 starts, 336 innings pitched. In 2021, there was one 20 game winner. Ironically, he was a Dodger, Jose Urias. And the Dodgers had only one complete game last year, by Trevor (innocent until proven guilty) Bauer.
I know a lot of it is that most field managers don't manage the game anymore. There are pencil-necked geeks in a back room on a computer, figuring odds and telling the manager what to do. Sometimes I think baseball is doomed!
Thank you sir for that comment -
Indeed it's a real shame what's being done to the game. I can accept not having any 300 innings pitcher, but what Roberts did is totally unacceptable. And to be frank, I'm somewhat disappointed at Kershaw for the way he took it
That’s 50 years of difference, pitchers throw much harder now. The strain on there arm is much harder. I would like to know the velocity of the fastball from those 60-70s pitchers. I know during the 80s and so like low to mid 90s was a “flamethrower” A lot of those injuries today are due to to pitchers throwing there arm out. I agree pitch counts shouldn’t be the metric. The pitcher should be, or Atleast his stuff. If the velo is dropping he’s obviously tired and he needs to get pulled before he hurts himself. Kershaws fastball was down to even 89 I believe. And still Kershaw was given the choice here. There are many things I don’t like about today’s baseball however I do believe reduced the workload on pitchers is of good intention.
@@khiewhy Well, Nolan Ryan reached 105 MPH back in the 70s, and Sandy Koufax threw 100 MPH in the 60s.
@@rickkinki4624 yes but they are also like top 3 pitchers in baseball history. Ryan is an anomaly. I mean to throw that hard through 9 innings multiple times a year is insane. Still he’s human. If you look into his 30s his pitch count is down to much more of what we expect. Still a handful of more innings today though I will admit. And yeah Koufax through hard but he’s not Ryan. Koufax had to retire in his prime because he threw his arm out. He said his elbow would hurt every time he pitched. Vast majority of guys weren’t capable of even averaging like 95. That’s why I believe pitchers like Ryan and Koufax were so incredible because the vast majority of hitters at the time just can’t make solid contact with a ball a that damn fast.
I stopped watching baseball about 6 years ago. It used to be my favorite sport. I grew up being a fan of Roberto alomar and Ivan Rodriguez. The reason I stopped watching was because the regular season has no meaning anymore. We used to talk about records being broken and now we just settle on the facts that guys won’t play 162 games anymore and pitchers won’t be pitching more than 7 innings anymore. Baseball games are micromanaged now. The shift, every player hitting 30 homers, and no base stealing have turned the game into a one dimensional mess. Players play less than ever and still can’t stay healthy. Mike trout has played more than 140 games only once in the last 5 seasons. Jacob Degrom career high in wins is only 15 and people say he’s an ace. Aces used to get 20 wins at least. If Pedro Martinez pitched today he would max out at about 15 wins a season because manager’s would be scared to hurt his small frame. Players are playing less than ever and getting paid more for it. It would take a lot to get me back into baseball but maybe they can fix it for the new fans.
With Kershaw he was coming off of an arm injury last year plus he had only been built up to go for 75 pitches or so because of the shortened spring training. Roberts would have let him go for it later on in the season.
@@idlertire But then late in the season there'd be the risk of injury/fatigue for the post season, it never ends -
No one in their right mind would have blamed Roberts for letting Kershaw in had he injured himself later on in the season-
For all we know Kershaw might get injured anyway-
Overprotection imo
@@GdF420 But the Dodgers would've been without a starting pitcher if he had gotten injured. Taking a chance like that would not be worth it.
The best pitcher in history of baseball
He ranks right up there but still needs 100+ more wins to be a the very top
All that just to get pulled because of pitch count smh 🤦♀️
Duh. It’s called keeping him healthy. I want a full season of Kershaw, not one riddled with injuries. There’s a reason he was cool with it
@@hankfrance4559 bro you’d use that excuse no matter what time of the season it is he’s a HOFer so trust his arm and let him make history
@@Bear77977 If Kersh agrees with Roberts, I do bro. Trust the hall of famer
I have a feeling if this in Dodger Stadium we probably would've seen a perfecto.Fans wouldve killed Roberts for taking him out. He was getting stronger.
Rich Mansour I was thinking the same thing -
But still road game or not there are millions of Dodgers/baseball fans oit there that are disappointed -
Total lack of judgement on the manager's part imo, huge disrespect to the game and its fans
Kershaws choice, and he wasnt getting stronger. His velo was dropping, you could tell he was getting tired. I’m genuinely starting to feel bad for Roberts getting so much hate for a decision he did not make.
Taking him out of the game is an example of the deterioration of professional baseball. This could have been a historical classic from a great pitcher.
Joe Mac It's sad really -
Would love to hear Ken Burns, Doris Kearns and other collaborators comment on this travesty
It was kershaws choice. Don’t get pissed at the managers
I’m not pissed at anyone. I am making a statement about the game and how it is currently conducted. I love baseball, but I do not enjoy how it is currently conducted as it was in years past. By the way do you really believe Kershaw wanted to be taken out?
Fire
“Perfect day in Dodger Land!”
What could have been
Slider very effective
what a shame, I want to see perfect game
Sandy Koufax threw a 112 pitch complete SPRING TRAINING game in his spring debut in 1961. Nolan Ryan once threw 235 pitches in 13 innings against Oakland and basically threw 130 pitches everytime he started a game until he was 46 years old. I get the pitch count thing, but come on. You wanna be compared to the great power pitchers of all time, yet you come out of a perfect game, CRUISING after 7 innings and 85 pitches. It would have taken the entire team to drag Verlander off the mound and he's coming off TJ surgery. Not to mention the entertainment value to fans who pay a pretty penny to be at these games. It's ridiculous.
I believe there is a connection between Kershaw happily going out in this game and his history of not being tough enough in the playoffs.
@@richatlarge462 interesting comment -
I don't have an opinion on this possible link you're alluding to, but I am definitively wondering how come he sort of reacted like it's no big thing
kershaw pulled after 7 perfect. later in the season, scherzer pulled through 6 perfect. degrom pulled while chasing the all time single game strikeout record. starting to think that if i ever want to see a perfect game live MLB will have to shorten the games to 7 innings
Probably greatest pitcher since Roger Clemens
Max scherzer??
@@eltigueraso Shaw is better imo

Sacred beast!😄😄
20 more pitches wouldn't make a difference in the long run. If he can't throw 20 more pitches, I'm sure he couldn't make it the rest of the season..this is probably his last chance to get a perfect game. Let the man throw. Kershaw would of course says he supports it but he knows he wanted it
yet pretty sure would g hagve been 20 plu more pitches
Kershaw told Roberts after the 6th to pull him after the 7th or after his 85th pitch. It was his choice.
@@khiewhy it wasn't Kershaw idea. Kershaw said he would of loved to stay out there. If he did say that, it was the beginning of the game without knowing he was going to throw a perfect game.
@@dame744 not only is that quote out of context. Your ignoring everything else he’s said. Yes he said he’d want to finish the game but he also said after that that it wasn’t the right day. He also said he was tired, and that it was time for him to exit. He said his slider didn’t have the bite anymore. He said this’ll be the right decision in October during the post season. If anything he had as much of a say as Roberts did on him being pulled.
You’ve obviously never played baseball
Wawoo!
커쇼는 커쇼다

If prime kershaw is back oh boy watch out rest of the league
But only for 80 pitches. The hitters will have to learn the art of fouling off his pitches to get him out after 5 innings.
I would have demanded a trade after this really these analytic people need to leave baseball bro just because his pitch count is high doesn’t mean he has to come out
It's not a sprint, but a marathon season.
What the heck was Roberts thinking?
Long term obviously
He wasn't thinking.
@@hankfrance4559 Lame.
@@kennethmurray2603 lol ok. Dodgers are the best team record-wise for a long while now for a reason.
Cool 👍👍
Blame the lockout for him not completing the game
more luike blame analytics
If he pitched 75 pitched through the first 4 innings gave up 3 runs, he would pitched the 5th, but 80 pitches on something that happens once every decade take him out! sport ruined!!!
Roberts thinks a game in mid-April will have lasting effects in September 🤔🤔🤔
Is this postseason CK or regular season CK
I would just ask Kershaw one question. Wanna go for this perfect game? If he says yes then alright then !
guess who's back, guess who's back !!!
this is up there with kevin cash's decision a couple years ago as the worst pulls ever
Way to overmanage this is where analytics have killed all the fun and magic of baseball. Dave Roberts disrespected the game of baseball today!
Agree 100%
It must be the haircut 😁
Waooo genial ⚾️⚾️⚾️
that would have been up there with Kerry Wood had he been able to complete the perfect game
why did he get pulled? (not sarcasm, I didnt watch the game)
To not injure him
Wow I thought kershaw was a little washed especially with all the injuries. Glad he proved me wrong lol 😂
Sawamura
Juan marichal and Warren Spahn threw 16 innings that was baseball
did buxton know how to hit breakball? LMAO
11 slider K’s
1 fastball K’s

Ughh I wish the Rangers get him next season
Most likely he'll retire next season but who knows if he does stay playing its either the rangers or Dodgers
