Watch: Kershaw offers snappy retort to question about Baez's fly ball

There's no reason to get angry, Clayton Kershaw.

After all, you did just pitch seven beautiful shutout innings at Wrigley Field.

But Javier Baez's very loud fly-out that nearly turned the Los Angeles Dodgers ace's outing - and, perhaps the entire NLCS - on its head was no laughing matter for Kershaw, despite the fact that it landed in center fielder Joc Pederson's glove.

The Cubs never threatened again, dropping Game 2 in a tightly contested 1-0 affair, squaring the series at one game apiece.

At his postgame press conference a reporter took the opportunity to ask Kershaw if he thought Baez had hit a home run - a query that the 28-year-old did not respond kindly too.

"That's your first frigging question?" Kershaw replied, game face still firmly in place. "Yeah, I did. I thought it was out for sure."

The lesson here: you come at Clayton with a fastball, you best not miss.
