Clayton Kershaws Average Outing in the Playoffs
Posted on 10/24/18 at 12:52 pm

This is after 145 innings
5.0 IP, 4 H, 2.4 ER, 1.5 BB , 5.5 SO , 0.7 HR, 4.28 ERA
To put this in perspective, his playoff production is worse than the AVERAGE SP in the 2018 regular season

You forgot the 9-9 W-L record
It's obvious that he dominates inferior teams but when going against good players, he's below average.
Same said about his WS competition, especially in American league parks.
He's basically the most overrated "dominate" pitcher I can remember.
He's also going to play his entire career in the NL (which vastly skews numbers in his favor).
I'll take Curt Schilling in a blink before Kershaw.

Fastball 90-91 all night. Secondary stuff lacked location and didn't have a lot of movement. I don't know if this is fatigue or him losing it, but I wouldn't make a long term investment in last night's Kershaw.

Same here. I’m a Dodgers fan but if he opts out of his final two years the front office should let him walk. The next team will be paying him for what he used to be, not what he is now

Not enough sample size, they say

You don't know what you're talking about. Kershaw's numbers are outstanding against AL teams and teams with a winning percentage over .500.
Kershaw's career numbers against teams with a winning percentage over .500
72-36, 2.33 ERA (lower than career ERA), 0.97 WHIP (lower than career WHIP), 9.7 SO/9, 4.38 SO/Walk Ratio
Kershaw's career numbers in interleague
17-4, 2.14 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, 9.8 SO/9, 4.91 SO/Walk Ratio (All better numbers than his career stats)

Kershaw is one of the best pitchers of the new millennium. Some outstanding pitchers are not as dominant in the postseason (Maddox, Glavine) while others are even better in October (Schilling, Smoltz). Either way it doesn’t detract from what Kershaw has done throughout his career.

Maybe this seems like a radical idea to some, but I would focus on the 2096 inning sample of regular season pitching over a 145 inning sample of postseason work if I was going to evaluate someone's ability.

That is insane Sandy
Posted on 10/24/18 at 2:09 pm to AlexTheGreat
That's why we call him Clayton Cuckshaw

Your pitching has to be on during the playoffs. Kershaw may find himself in middle relief.

Never go full retard.
(But yes he is extremely average and inconsistent in the playoffs. If he opts out I will be furious if we resign him because he is on the decline hard now too.)

Huh???? Maddux and Glavine were great pitchers in the postseason too.

I have always contended Kershaw "doesnt choke", and I still will bang that drum all day. He has just been way more inconsistent in the post season, IMHO, due to both fatigue and a smaller sample size.
Someone who was a choker wouldnt have thrown as many dominant performances as he has in the post season

What are kershaws numbers if you just remove 2013 and 2014

And he is still letting fewer runners on base and striking out more and walking fewer. Ie, things that usually play out over a 162 game sample size but usually dont in three or four starts where the innate randomness of baseball can frick you, like last night when on two separate occasions, the red sox beat out DPs by less than half a step that ended up scoring three total runs. It happens. He absolutely is inconsistent, but the idea that people continue to bang this drum that he is a choker or cant pitch in the playoffs when he has had more than enough dominant playoff performances is just weird
