All right, I'm fully aware that the Dodgers paid good money for Broxton and, therefore, it wasn't unreasonable to bring him in to close things out in the 9th, especially when the starter is well over 100 pitches. But geez, Kershaw gave perhaps his most impressive appearance to date, and in the 8th, was still throwing around 95 MPH and retiring batters with ease. Let the kid have his first complete game shutout. I believe he could have shut them down quickly in the 9th, but instead, I got to watch an additional 2 hours of baseball as a result, with a very displeasing ending. Ugh. What is going on with this team?
