He was 20 at the time,

my exact point. He was 20 at the time and was not asked to carry the team like he is now. I could care less about how he played in 2008 or 2009 when it was such a drastically different situation then as it is now

He struggled in game 1

and he did OK in the LDS. Them being scared after one game points to how they maybe didn't really trust him to put the team on his back like they do now

6 innings and 3 earned runs is not a Kershaw performance and not what teams expect from their #1 in the postseason

I mean frick. One of those came 100 pitches into him on short rest after he was getting babipd and another came from when the bullpen couldn't get a third out. His last two 3 ER games in the playoffs are the exact definition of shite happens

Then we should only look at Bumgarner and his 2014 performance because in the previous years he was young and they didn't trust him enough.

A starter should not worry about they bullpen getting the 3rd out. They should be performing, which is something he has not done as well during the playoffs compared to the regular season.
