Posted this a minute ago in the Baseball Forum. Thought it would be a good discussi0n here as well.
Clayton Kershaw absolutely deserved to pitch a perfect game last night. The error by SS Hanley Ramirez, while not as easy as a little league play..... should have been made routinely.... no doubt.
Harold Reynolds of MLB Network made excuses for Ramirez. Weak excuses in my view. They may be buddies or something. Usually I have lots of respect for Harold, but not in this case.
Ramirez basically being a hotdog lazy ass cost Kershaw the perfect game.
There was some mention about Ramirez hurting a finger the night before on his throwing hand. If he was compromised in ANY WAY he should have been out of the game. NO DISCUSSION. LA had an 8-0 lead in the top of the seventh inning.
I am a Giants fan and therefore root only for Kershaw and Mattingly when it comes to the Dodgers. I will disclose that. But whoever you are and whoever you root for...... this should have been a perfect game for Kershaw.
