Looks like Kershaw is going the way of Prior/Lincecum after all

I said last year that Kershaw will go the way of Mark Prior, getting an injury and fading into obscurity. A bunch of people called me an idiot, but it looks like I could get the last laugh.

Kershaw is pitching like a backend of the rotation guy so far this year, and it looks like there is no end in sight. Wouldn't surprise me to see him go on the DL soon, whether he is hurt or not, to try and work things out

Plus he is probably being messed with mentally by his daddy Bum... kind of like how Urban Meyer was mentally tortured by Saban and had to get away.

Aren't you who started a thread once asking if Randy Johnson is a HOFer? Yeah, I'm not listening to you when it comes to baseball.

I just started venturing to the MSB, so maybe I'm missing an inside joke or something. But Kershaw has a K/9 of 11.26 - well above career average and BB/9 of 2.47 - worse than recent but still better than career avg, and an increased GB rate.

LD is slightly elevated, so maybe he's giving up a bit more hard contact. But the main issues are a reduced LOB%, a BABIP of .342, and a HR/FB three times his career rate.

His FIP/xFIP/Siera are 2.89/2.26/2.52.

He's been "unlucky." Or, as I prefer, still subject to the random nature of the game of baseball. Still more likely to dominate in his next start than anyone else. Just like Kluber before his last few starts.

The man is pitching fine. Maybe this year he's the 5-6 win pitcher of 2009-2012 rather than the 7-8 win pitcher of 2013-2014.

Either way, he's no Prior or Lincecum.

The only joke is how consistently retarded goldennugget threads are
