Kershaw over his last 5 post-seasons starts: 3 quality starts + Game 5 of the 2017 NLCS + Game 5 of the World Series where he got relatively shelled (so did everyone in that game)
+ that superb relief appearance in game 7 of the world series.
But he ain't clutch for the radio talkers.

i know they've gotten this far and bullpenning and everything but the brewers running out gio gonzalez, wade miley and joulys chacin in the first three games doesn't really inspire confidence

The only other time that a catcher had an error, passed ball, and catcher's interference in the same postseason inning came exactly one year ago today in NLDS Gm 5 - The Nats' Matt Wieters had a passed ball and error on the same play, followed by CI. https://t.co/YvCQdZLvz4— Stats By STATS (@StatsBySTATS) October 13, 2018

He only throws in the low 90's, but this Kershaw kid might have a future as a closer in the bigs. This wasn't a save situation though, so we can't really be sure that he has that closer mentality until he pitches in a close game.

The AB I keep thinking about was Aguilar in the 2nd. 3-2 and he swings at a high fastball that’s like a foot out of the zone. After that there was a long single and a deep fly, Aguilar certainly would have scored and the game would be tied, at least. You wonder if they would’ve played a little looser after that. Then you got the Puig HR which doesn’t happen if they can pull off a routine double play (Bellinger is pretty fast of course), or Taylor’s amazing run-saving catch that Joc almost certainly wouldn’t have made. Just a lotta weird variance in this game. Probably why we made it so far in the first place, of course. Oh well. Was a great year.
