Doesn't look like he's coming back out.

 

incredibly tough call for Roberts. First start of the year for Kershaw - they need him healthy in October...

How can you take a guy out throwing a perfect game on 80 pitches only. There are no assurances that taking him out now will keep him healthy afterwards but there is a damn good chance Kershaw may never get this chance again. As long as it was Kershaws call then I'd be cool with it.

THat's ... disappointing

 

Yeah, it was. Although I understand concerning his history last year. Kershaw seemed fine with it, laughing and s***... IDK. As a fan, I would've loved to seen it.

Have you guys seen the Braves WS rings? They are f***ing incredible. Read the article and all the little details they added. It is insane. You won't regret the short read.

 

That is interesting. But that ring is way too big... lol. It's like a competition now to see how big they can make these things.

 

"755 diamonds, four custom-cut rubies, four princess-cut rubies, 11 round rubies and the genuine white pearl set in the ring. The total gem carat weight of the ring is approximately 13.3 carats"

 

Poker does it better with bracelets IMO

Man that's tough for Roberts

 

You prob almost hope someone gets a bloop single in the 7th so you can pull him

 

Or wish he was only at 65 pitches and feel better about sending him back out

 

I wish Kershaw had gotten the chance to try and finish it. My favorite pitcher since Halladay.

My favourite put her is the TaylorMade Spider X.

I mean they aren't meant to wear. It's a trophy case thing. This design is something else though...

 

- 18.71 karat white gold for the inception of the team in 1871

- 150 diamonds within the A representing the 150 year of the franchise's history

- 44 emerald-cut diamonds in honor of Hank Aaron

- total of 755 diamonds representing the 755 HRs Hank hit

- 11 rubies placed in the miniature stands to illustrate where each playoff HR was hit

- 4 corners of the ring top has a princess-cut ruby, symbolizing the Braves' 4 WS titles

- a pearl to represent Joc Pederson and his pearl necklace

- inscription reading 7.30.21 representing the trade deadline where they added Solar, Rosario, Duval

 

Perhaps other rings have been designed with this much meaning and history - but I don't remember reading anything like this before. Seems incredible.

They USED to be meant for actual wearing. Not anymore.

I get that, but honestly, even the 'old' ones that were much smaller are difficult to wear. I have modestly sized one from my OBA Championship and I couldn't imagine wearing it regularly...or even for like 4-6 hours.

Paraphrasing... *I'm not here for individual records, I'm here to win in October. Would I like to have gone for it of course, but I only have thrown a 75 pitch sim game, nevermind 7 innings, we're all here to win a Championship* - Mr. Kershaw. Edited by Spanky99

I think he also said something about the lockout, shortened spring and blamed himself for having not thrown a baseball for 3 months this offseason....

McClanahan has silly stuff tonight. Who's the last lefty starter to throw 100?

 

James Paxton has. But he was never steadily at or over 100mph, but his hit 100mph or better 43 times

I forget sometimes how good Paxton was when he was healthy

Paxton hit 100mph 43 times his whole career so far. Hunter Greene was over 100 mph 37 times in his first start the other night.

 

Greene is redonkulous.

Goddamn. 37 triple digit pitches in a start is insane.
