Clayton Kershaw became the 20th member of the 3,000-strikeout club against the Chicago White Sox, but his catcher, Austin Barnes, was unable to witness the achievement. Barnes, who had a strong bond with Kershaw during eleven seasons with the Dodgers, expressed disappointment over missing the milestone yet felt excited for his friend. After his release from the Dodgers, Barnes signed with the San Francisco Giants and watched the game from afar, trying to predict pitches. Kershaw regretted Barnes’ departure, appreciating his teamwork and personality in the clubhouse.
I'm just super excited for him. It's an unbelievable accomplishment.
I was just like, 'Man, throw the curveball, throw the curveball.' Trying to will it over the phone.
