Kershaw loses title of best pitcher in baseball

[stevenash]

I think Trout is making a push for biggest post season choker

0-8 so far against KC

Can we give Trout at least 25 AB's before labeling him anytthing.

Dave Winfield was a choke artist, so bad Steinbrenner called him Mr. May

I need to look it up, but I don't even think Winfield hit .200 in the post season.

Best ever post season pitcher?
Mo. The discussion ends with Mo.
Arizona beat Mo with a hump back soft single, and a play not made by Brosius that Mo seems to think he should have made.
I have seen Mo's entire career, I saw him in year one as a spot starter, I saw him when he was 8th inning set up dude for Wetteland, who only saved all four games (I think he's the only one to do that) and was the MVP, and I saw Mo take over for Wetteland and become the greatest ever at what he did, and the only time I have ever seen Mo remotely pissed was after the Brosisus play.

Mariano Rivera's post season numbers are staggering, unfathonable, mind numbing.
And he did it with one pitch, the hitter knew what pitch was coming every time, every pitch, and he did it for 2 decades.
That's a hell of a pitch I tell ya what.

speaking of greatest ever, was mariano the best reliever? he did blow the save and get the loss in the 9th inning of game 7 of the world series. not sure how you can be called the greatest when you lose the world series in that situation. imo i dont care how many saves you got that negates a ton

Wow, just wow.
This post leaves me speechless.

Do you really think anybody is perfect in anything?

Ignorant post, beyond ignorant.

Where are the people that said Kershaw is a playoff choke
choke on his stats today
ignorant ppl judging an elite pitcher after 3 post season games
c,mon man

[t-wizzle]

Kershaw with a big fukk you to OP.

[t-wizzle]

Put King Felix in the NL where he gets to face a pitcher every time through the lineup and he'd be better

Or put King Felix on a team that gives him run support.

If Felix pitched for the Angels, he would've had 30 wins this season... and that's not an opinion, it's supported by the #'s

Yea whatever. Best year of his career and he's still not better than Kershaw.

Who's to say he would be some clutch playoff performer?

Oh right I forgot... you're from Seattle. It all makes sense now.

[Rich Boy]

Kershaw about to blow it again

[Rich Boy]

And that seals Kershaws fate, BOOM HR

3 run HR

[TheLock]

I can't believe Mattingly left him in after the first 2 guys reached in the 7th.

What a stooge.

[krk1030]

wow 7th inning does him in again

[Pauulzcappin]

that ball is still travelling out there

[rcene]

Kershaw is great until the post season comes around. He is not a big game, big money pitcher what so ever.

[krk1030]

Did they already do the mvp voting?

[rcene]

Yeah all the votes were in before the post season began.

Kershaw winning the cy young and mvp is a total joke. Guy is October's Mister Choke.

lost the world series on his own by himself. many things define the great, i asked a question didnt get an answer. guess it went over your head.

end of argument.

What question?
He blew that game all by himeself?
That's an idiot question, I am usually not in the practice in answering idiot questions, but this time I'll field this one.
Soriano bothced the double play ball on the bunt, so I guess he didn't blow it all by himself, and don't tell me Mo got charged the error, yeah, if Soriano does what he is supposed to do, 2 outs nobody on.

Did you pass fifth grade english?
Do you know the definition of 'greatest'?

Until you can name me a reliever better in the post season at what they did better than what Mariano did, we'll consider this debate closed.
And since you can not......

Kershaw chokes once again and BLOWS another season for the Dodgers

Guy is a joke

[yisman]

just amazing

kershaw rolling in both starts, has a multi-run lead in Games 1 and 4 in the 7th...

and then implodes each time

October 3: 6 IP, 2 hits, 2 runs, 0 walks, 8 Ks
October 7: 6 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs, 2 walks, 9 Ks

so 12 innings, 3 hits, 17 Ks

pretty awesome line

unfortunately for him, the 7th inning counts, and he winds up with a 7.82 ERA for the series.

1000% correct!

Choker is now 1-5 with an era over 5 in post season baseball.

Mvp and cy young winner does not, cannot choke away those leads.

[Rich Boy]

Another runner on 2nd and kershaw gets hammered... Maybe there is something to this theory.

Either Stl is stealing signs or Kershaw cant pitch out of the stretch.

[sneakerhead]

Kershaw is on Peytons level in playoffs

[PAYTON20]

Kershaw with a big fukk you to OP.

Lmao. Wizzle is widely known as the worst handicapper an biggest mush on SBR. His opinion means nothing.. however, his betting picks are golden for those FADES!

He was just buried by Kershaw and the Dodgers

[stevenash]

All St. Louis does is win.
Say what you want about the Cards, this is what? Their fourth straight trip to the NL finals?
All they do is win

[TheLock]

Pivotal night for Kershaw.

A blow up here could really rattle him.

I grabbed STL +1.5 -113 last night because that was too good of a price at home and not because it was a "fade Kershaw" situation.

Oh yeah.

Wine and roses, boys.

Locker share some of that wealth pal I live in Newark New Jersey

[franklee168]

Kershaw is the best pitcher on the planet....In the regular season.

[Allure]

He was never even close to being the best pitcher in baseball.

But he is the biggest choker in baseball history, that's true.
