84 innings, not a small sample size. Guess he has no chest, his $32M salary this year was just beaten by a guy making $500k.

Some guys are winners, some guys aren't.

I like Kershaw dont get me wrong, just saying he just doesnt seem to be the same pitcher when it counts. Obviously its vs better competition but for $1m/start he better bring it all day everyday. Im not a fan of paying pitchers so much at least not starters, relievers are worth more to me bc of how andrew miller or mariano rivera dominate in the postseason in every game where their team leads.

Kershaw was pretty dang solid this postseason. He just wasn't going to get in the way of the Cubs destiny.

84 innings is a small sample size. His postseason peripherals are pretty damn strong. This narrative is stupid.

If he won more the sample size would be bigger.....but playoff sample size is always gonna be small.

The numbers will get slightly worse after tonight, but coming into Game 6, here are some of more impressive playoff numbers for Kershaw.
2.92 FIP
3.09 xFIP
2.68 SIERA
10.93 K/9
29.5% K%
21.7 K-BB%
Italicized stats are better than Kershaw's regular season numbers.
A partial look at why Kershaw "struggles" in the playoffs:
61.8% LOB% (league average is over 70%)
.293 BABIP (regular season is .271)
.86 HR/9 (regular season is .54 HR/9)
Essentially, he is a very similar pitcher with marginally worse inputs and terrible unlucky results. His walk and home run rates are a little worse, but his underlying numbers show why Kershaw is a killer any time of the year.

bullshite stats. He gets out pitched in the playoffs most of the time. It's head to head, not against some nebulous median.

Greg Maddux was 11-14 with a 3.27

All true.
You will convince no one that pumps the narrative though.

Still way more fun to pump this narrative. Call him the unluckiest pitcher in playoff history if you want, it's still interesting.

He is at 89 innings and 18 games, that's half a season. No longer a small sample size for me.

Well you're wrong.

And what would be the narrative if he was Bumgarner-esque in the playoffs?
It would be blown up, he would be crowned more so than he already is
84 innings is not a small sample size relative to postseason IP

3 bad starts
1 good start
1 good relief appearence
is dang solid?

If you actually think Kershaw for some reason can't pitch in the postseason, even though he has made multiple dominate starts and literally got through danuel Murphy to close out game 5 with runners in scoring position, then I don't know what to tell you
No longer a small sample size for me.

You need to just stop.... He is NOT that good in the playoffs. Fact......
