Clayton Kershaw denied a chance for a perfecto

He threw 80 pitches through 7 innings and Roberts pulled him. Unbelievable. This is yet another thing driving fans away from baseball.

@wissox Kershaw had only thrown 101 pitches in spring training, and has not pitched a complete season since 2015. First start of the season. And he was ok with the decision because of the lockout stopping off-season workouts. Big picture a bit more important.

@mayjay yes I agree but not with my heart!

@wissox Understood! Roberts might have given him a choice, too. Kershaw had a no-hitter in 2014, so that might have played a role.

This was a travesty.

I understand why the decision was made, but it was the wrong one.

@mayjay They've mentioned that!
