For playing a video of 2014 playoff home run against him. Thoughts?

What a spoiled brat. This ain't home turf. His reaction is bush league.

[swatski]

I tend to agree with him. Organization needs to take the high road esp with a Hall of Famer, who handled those defeats with class when they occurred.

[Whatashame]

I don’t agree at all with Kershaw. I do think his comments were bush league and then taking a shot at the organization was also bush league. If he doesn’t want the video played…….don’t give up the HR.

Kershaw has gotten tons of respect from this organization over the years. Even when he was having his share of tough times against the Cardinals. The HP umpire gave Kershaw lots of respect today with his work behind the plate. Kershaw just comes off as the entitled one with his response to the questions.

I think Kershaw comes across as a whiner in this instance. At the same time, why show a highlight from 11 years ago? If the organization really wanted to get under his skin, they should've played Game 6 of the 2013 NLCS when the Cardinals lit him up.

It’s tacky

It appears to be an imitation act. An attempt at the organization level to bother him. Fun or not, it’s not called for.

It was bush league.

How is that different from the Royals celebrating the anniversary of their WS victory over the Cardinals when the Cardinals were in KC?

It was bush league.

When we visited kc, they played video celebrating their ws victory over cardinals.

When you are road team, the home teams is gonna play videos to hype fans against you.

Dont get bothered by it.

I view this as no different than royals playing video celebrating their world series over cardinals when we visited kc. Difference is, our team didnt whine about it.

Oh I’m not bothered. But there are many other great videos to hype the fans. Doesn’t have to be at the level of gamesmanship.

I get the jist, but think the same mission could have been accomplished with less intent.

We are the stl Cardinals. That alone stands for class. Anything questionable to that name is taint. We don’t need tarnish.

I expect other teams to act this way. Then I look at the history. I see why. We are the Cardinals.

Clayton Kershaw has won two rings and four pennants since giving up that HR. He’s going to the Hall of Fame.

The Cardinals have won one other playoff series since winning that one. Matt Adams is probably coaching high-school baseball.

Bush league. Act like you’ve been there before.

[Adam2]

Come on Clayton, take a deep breathe and have a little fun. It's a game. You won the game, maybe have a little fun back and forth on social media poking the cardinals back about it, that would have been cool, but no, let's cry about it

[Absolut]

Both look petty here.

Both look petty here.

Good analogy.
