Account News: While the lockout is responsible for a lack of baseball news and content as it is, this account will begin posting less than usual as I am a college student who will be spending a semester in Europe.

[MLB @MLB]

A memorable night for @ClaytonKersh22 and the @Dodgers.

[Today in MLB @Todayin_MLB]

BREAKING: MLB has suspended #Dodgers starter Trevor Bauer for 2 years over an investigation into allegations of sexual assault.

Bauer is appealing.

[MLB Network @MLBNetwork]

It's official: @ronaldacunajr24 is back, folks!

The #Yankees used the video replay room in 2015-2016 to steal signs, costing them $100,000 fine, but there was no illegal sign stealing by the club in 2017 when MLB began its crackdown, according to the sealed letter between Commissioner Rob Manfred and #Yankees GM Brian Cashman.

[Umpire Auditor @UmpireAuditor]

Umpire Angel Hernandez was the lowest rated umpire on the day, missing 19 calls for a correct percentage of 85.3%.

He rang up 6 batters on pitches that were outside the zone and called a strike to Jean Segura that missed inside by a season high 6.47 inches.

Per Michael Confoto’s agent, Scott Boras: “Last week Michael Conforto underwent successful shoulder surgery by Dr. Neil ElAttrache. He is expected to make a full recovery and return to play in spring training 2023.”

Clayton Kershaw on getting pulled after seven perfect innings: “It was the right decision…it was time.”

[Marc Carig @MarcCarig]

I get it. I get why you do this w/ Clayton Kershaw. It’s probably the right thing to do. But I also get the disappointment in not seeing him stay in. Fans should expect to be entertained at a ballgame, and what’s more entertaining than an all-time great chasing more greatness?

[Alden González @Alden_Gonzalez]

I understand all the reasons why Clayton Kershaw would be taken out, but I also don't feel comfortable normalizing REMOVING PITCHERS FROM PERFECT GAMES.

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

I, too, would like to see more cool things happen. Rules towards that end are great, and good, all in.

I don't think that is the manager of a baseball team's job.

[Brandon McCarthy @BMcCarthy32]

There was barely a spring training. Nobody's fully built up. Starters were barely ready to start a real season. This isn't some new-age thing or whatever strawman you want to rail against. It sucks.

[Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1]

We have to get fans back. We have to entertain our fans. We have to keep fans first in our minds. OK, then definitely let’s pull Clayton Kershaw from a perfect game through 7 innings and 80 pitches. #Ridiculous

[Alex Fast @AlexFast8]

20 whiffs (17 on the slider!)
41% CSW
13 Ks
7 Perfect innings

Simply masterful from the future Hall of Famer.

[David Vassegh @THEREAL_DV]

Boos at Target Field as Alex Vesia enters the game. Kershaw is officially out of this game.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

If it's a no-hitter, whatever. Yank him. Clayton Kershaw has thrown one.

But there have been more than 220,000 games in MLB history. There have been 23 perfect games.

Everything -- especially a pitch count of 80 -- is lining up to at least let Kershaw try. You cannot pull him.

[Alden González @Alden_Gonzalez]

Clayton Kershaw no longer has his thick jacket on and looks like a man who is done pitching for the day. Alex Vesia is now warming up aggressively.

[Alden González @Alden_Gonzalez]

7 innings from Clayton Kershaw.

0 baserunners.

13 strikeouts.

80 pitches.

Blake Treinen was warming up as the seventh inning came to an end. Dave Roberts has a fascinating decision on his hands.
