I "get" why they pulled him. Cold early season game, short Spring Training, long top of the 8th inning cooled him down some. But at 34 and not seeming like a guy who will keep going until he's 40, and with everything he has done for that franchise, it should have been HIS decision alone until he slips up or makes history.

We can't assume that pitching those two extra innings would hurt the pitcher. And sometimes you have to say the hell with tomorrow. If we all lived our lives with this current baseball mind set, rarely would anyone ever achieve anything great. We preach greatness, but teach mediocrity.

FWIW. Kershaw said that he was ok with it...he hadn't stretched his arm out this early in the season.

I just can't believe it. I understand they're paid millions of dollars nowadays so these players are more investments than anything else. But we are a far cry from the days of pitchers throwing 10 complete games a season, let alone the times in the 50's, 60's and 70's when they were throwing over 20 of them.

I hate the direction the sport is trending in.

Another Dodger is the last guy to complete 20 in a season, any guesses?
