i think it's ok to admit that kershaw just hasn't been great in the postseason. even if all 9 of those runners had been stranded, his postseason ERA would still be 3.77
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 12 October 2016 16:39 (seven years ago) link
sure, but that's... lower!
― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 12 October 2016 17:22 (seven years ago) link
No matter how much you massage the stats, he hasn't been nearly as dominant as in the regular season.
The sixth and seventh inning meltdowns are real. There was that game a couple of years ago against the Cardinals when he was dominating and then inexplicably gave up a go ahead three run homer to Matt Adams. I think Kershaw had given up one HR on his curve to a LHB in the previous three years. When it happens in the playoffs that's not bad luck or a small sample size, that's a guy making a horrible pitch at the worst possible time.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:16 (seven years ago) link
Yes, i was lamenting in a bar the other day that Kershawgod disappears in October.
It's funny that the Effectively Wild podcast has been obsessing over Rich Hill all year (mostly guessing what his market value will be this winter) and he gets to start this game.
