Clayton Kershaw lanzó 7 entradas perfectas, lo retiraron y nos explica por qué está bien

El pitcher de los Dodgers Clayton Kershaw ya ha tenido un juego sin hits en su carrera en las grandes ligas, pero un juego perfecto hubiera sido el verdadero logro para su currículum para Cooperstown. Sin embargo, Kershaw estuvo OK con dejar pasar …

El pitcher de los Dodgers Clayton Kershaw ya ha tenido un juego sin hits en su carrera en las grandes ligas, pero un juego perfecto hubiera sido el verdadero logro para su currículum para Cooperstown. Sin embargo, Kershaw estuvo OK con dejar pasar una oportunidad de oro para ese juego perfecto.

Durante el partido del miércoles contra los Minnesota Twins, Kershaw estaba lanzando con todo. Lanzó siete entradas perfectas con 13 ponches en 80 lanzamientos. Quedó a solo seis outs de hacer historia, pero los Dodgers prefirieron recurrir al bullpen.

El relevista Alex Vesia terminó permitiendo un hit y dio una base por bola, así que la apuesta para tener un juego perfecto o un juego sin hits terminó en la octava entrada. Y mientras que los fans de la MLB estaban molestos sobre la decisión de retirar a Kershaw, el jugador estrella de los Dodgers pareció estar de acuerdo con la decisión. Después del juego, que ganaron 7-0, explicó por qué a los reporteros.

Traducción: “Me hubiera encantado quedarme, pero hay cosas más grandes, cosas más grandes”.
Clayton Kershaw sobre sacarlo del partido tras 7 entradas perfectas.

 

Kershaw dijo:

“Fue duro. Me sentí mal por (el catcher Austin Barnes). Hizo un gran trabajo y es divertido cachar uno de esos. Así que quería hacerlo con Barnesey. Hubiera sido especial. Pero al final del día, todo eso son cosas individuales. Son metas egoístas. Estamos intentando ganar y es justo para eso que estamos aquí. Y por mucho que me hubiera gustado hacerlo, en un juego simulado había tenido 75 lanzamientos en un juego simulado, no había llegado a seis entradas, mucho menos siete. Y claro, me hubiera encantado hacerlo. Tal vez tengamos otra oportunidad, nunca se sabe… Me hubiera encantado quedarme, pero hay cosas más grandes, cosas más grandes.”.

El paro laboral de la MLB y un entrenamiento de primavera más corto hicieron que Kershaw, y muchos otros pitchers, no tuvieran su típico tiempo de preparación. Kershaw dijo que solo había tenido 75 lanzamientos en un juego simulado para entrenar recientemente. Así que mientras admitió que le hubiera encantada hacer historia, está bien con que Dave Roberts tenga en mente lo más importante para una temporada larga.

Es el tipo de perspectiva que no vemos muy a menudo cuando te enfrentas a la posibilidad de la perfección.

Bettors are expecting Dodgers-Braves to go to Game 7 in NLCS

Making sense of the money coming in ahead of the Dodgers-Braves Game 6 showdown.

Saturday night’s NLCS Game 6 between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers has a lot on the line. The Braves can clinch a spot in the World Series for the first time since 1999, but they’ll have to stave off the defending champion Dodgers, who will look to extend the series to seven where they can fight for a consecutive World Series appearance. Tipico Sportsbook has the visiting Dodgers as a 1.5-run favorite in what projects to be a relatively low-scoring game.

The money coming in indicates that most wagerers are expecting to see a good amount of runs scored, with 65 percent of betslips taking the OVER on Tipico’s 8.5 runs total. The tickets also suggest that this series won’t be decided until Game 7 on Sunday. As Saturday’s opening pitch nears, 75 percent of betslips have the Braves at +1.5, yet, only 53 percent of tickets are taking the Braves at the money line, suggesting that Atlanta will play well enough to cover the spread but won’t do enough to win outright.

Ian Anderson is expected to get the start for Atlanta tonight and will have to cool off the hot-hitting Dodgers on the heels of a 17-hit Game 5 performance. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler gets the nod for L.A. in a win-or-go-home Game 6.

Chris Taylor made some wild history in Game 5 of the NLCS and the Dodgers needed every bit of it

Chris Taylor is forever in baseball history now.

The Dodgers had their backs against the wall going into Game 5 of the NLCS against the Braves and they responded perfectly.

Well, I should say, Chris Taylor responded perfectly. This dude truly had himself a night of nights. We witnessed literally one of the greatest postseason performances ever on Thursday night.

Taylor hit three home runs against the Dodgers in Game 5. Not one. Not two. Three. That just doesn’t happen very often, y’all.

He made plenty of history on his way to leading the Dodgers to their win. He’s just the 12th player in MLB history to hit three homers in a postseason game.

He’s also the only player in MLB history to hit three homers in an elimination game.

The only player. Ever.

This gets even wilder when you realize how Taylor was playing leading up to this explosion.

That’s certainly worth the curtain call he got after heading into the dugout the final time.

Very, very well deserved. Fans were stoked for him.

A look at how special Logan Webb was in his postseason debut for the Giants in Game 1 of the NLDS

Logan Webb pitched like he’s been here before in Game 1 of the NLDS

Logan Webb had himself a game. That’s really the only way to describe Game 1 of the National League Division Series for the pitcher. He pitched not only one of the best games of his career but one of the best games we’ve ever seen — period. He was that good.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. That feels like some hyperbole, right? One of the best games we’ve ever seen? Come on. Cut it out.

But no. Seriously. Webb was that really good for the Giants. And, while that’s a bold claim, all of the numbers are there to back it up.

Just take a look.

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts may have cost his team first place in the NL West with this wild decision

This is a rough one.

Baseball is so awesome because there’s really no such thing as a buzzer beater. There are, occasionally, walk-off plays to end games, though, and they’re almost always insane.

And, a lot of times, those walk-offs are determined by literal inches. That’s why it’s important to put players in a position to succeed. And that’s why managers are so important.

But that’s exactly what Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts didn’t do on Friday against the Giants.

In the bottom of the 11th up against the Dodgers with the score tied 2-2, Posey knocks the ball between first and second for what seems like it’ll be a routine out.

And here’s where things get sticky.
