This is what is wrong with baseball
Today Clayton Kershaw was taken out of the game after 7 perfect innings. Screw advanced stats, sabrmetrics, etc. There is no way a pitcher that has a perfect game or no hitter going should be taken out of a game unless he is physically unable to continue PERIOD. This is what any pitcher or fan lives for.
Modern baseball is a joke. What happened to the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat? I want to see a pitcher reach back and try to achieve something special. That is what happened for most of the history of the game. There is a thread on the card side about baseball dying. Baseball is dying because of stuff like this.
