​Recently, the baseball world revisited a popular subject as a result of ​Giants reliever Hunter Strickland and Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper's braw​l. This time, superstar lefty Clayton Kershaw is weighing in on the subject courtesy of The Dan Patrick Show.

​

​Kershaw is one of the cooler heads in baseball, but he's also well known for becoming incensed by what he perceives as bad strike zones by umpires. Apparently, his wife has no tolerance for the type of "chirping" that Kershaw initiates with the umps, but that's a story for a different day.

​

​Listen to Kershaw go back and forth with Patrick on his experience with intentionally hitting batters and what his plan of action would be if he was ever approached in the same manner Harper came after Strickland:

​​Kershaw, in a roundabout way, admits that he's plunked batters on purpose in the past. He also goes into detail about how ​he would pull a "Kyle Farnsworth" if a batter ever took things into his own hands.

​

​It's always nice to hear from the league's best players on somewhat-taboo topics like this one, and now we know what to expect the next time Kershaw drills someone in the ribs.
