Milwaukee Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski sent a loud and clear message to Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday night when the rookie struck out 12 over six innings in a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

When asked about Misiorowski, this is what Kershaw told beat reporter Bill Plunkett: “I don’t even know who I’m pitching against. (Miz) Is that the guy who twisted his ankle on the mound. The ‘Twisted-His-Ankle’ guy. I know he throws hard. I saw a couple highlights. He throws hard. But so does everybody. Except me.”
