Watch: Clayton Kershaw tells Jurickson Profar he took 'BS' swing

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports  |  By Larry Brown  |  Last updated 4/17/21

Clayton Kershaw got into it with Jurickson Profar over a catcher’s interference call on Saturday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres were locked in a scoreless game in the bottom of the fourth inning at Petco Park. Profar was batting with nobody on and two outs and had a full count. He likely was looking for an offspeed pitch, because he was caught off guard after Kershaw threw him a fastball for a strike. Profar threw out a courtesy half-swing at the pitch and appeared to strike out. However, the Padres argued there was catcher’s interference.

Take a look at the weak swing Profar offered:

Kershaw was ticked off and told Profar he had a “bulls— swing.” Profar told Kershaw to shut the f— up.

Indeed, that offering by Profar was a bulls— swing. Kershaw wasn’t lying. I’d be ticked off, too.

Even though Profar reached base on the play, Kershaw got the next batter out to end the inning.
