Surprised that people are defending the choice to pull him. In baseball terms he is an oldtimer, first ballot hall of famer, one of the greatest Dodgers of all time. He has never had a perfect game, and only 23 have ever been thrown. He was at 80 pitches.
It would have been fine for the manager to ask him, but the call should have been Kershaws. Black eye on the sport, IMO.
