Clayton Kershaw achieved his 3,000th strikeout against the Chicago White Sox while Austin Barnes, a former teammate, was absent. Barnes, who previously caught for Kershaw in 86 games, felt disappointed missing the historic moment but shared his excitement for Kershaw’s accomplishment. After being designated for assignment by the Dodgers, Barnes signed with the San Francisco Giants. He followed the game closely from his phone, hoping to witness Kershaw's milestone. Despite not being there, Barnes expressed a heartfelt wish to experience Kershaw's achievement alongside his longtime friend.
I wish I could have been there. I'm just super excited for him. It's an unbelievable accomplishment.
I was just like, 'Man, throw the curveball, throw the curveball.' Get to two strikes and finish him.
You want to be there. ... I wish I could have been there for him. But yeah, it is what it is.
