How can anyone defend Kershaw anymore...

[CMNoney]

Game was in his hands yet again.

He just doesn't have it in him.

One of the biggest chokers in sports history.

[BIGDAY]

Guy blows rooster.

[Rich Boy]

Must be related to Joe Thornton

[SharpAngles]

Blame Donnie Baseball more than Kershaw IMO

[daneblazer]

Threw a meat ball to Fatt Adams and he was naturally all over it.

on three days rest, he prob should have been pulled

[CMNoney]

Blame Donnie Baseball more than Kershaw IMO

Are you serious?

Kershaw hasn't even thrown 200 innings this year.

There is no excuse. He blows donkey d1ck in the playoffs. He obviously can't handle the pressure.

[jjgold]

His arm is tired and Mattingly's getting fired there's no need to talk about it

[Bostongambler]

Magic Johnson will manage next year

What the hell is Mattingly doing pitching him on 3 days rest into the 7th? Even if he does get the win with that move what will kershaw look like in the next series. Classic bonehead managing by Donnie

[mintpicks79]

wonder if kemp times his leap/climb better if he catches it???

Dodgers Teaserpleaser Kershaw

correct.

game 1: had 110 pitches and surrendered hits to first 5 of 6 batters. what manager with half of brain keeps him in in that situation????

game 4: had 100 pitches after just 3 days rest. surrenders back to back hits to first 2 batters. what manager with half of brain keeps him in after saying he wouldn't pitch him past 100 pitches before the game?????

if this moron isn't fired by midnight, there will be riots in la.

Crusty a cool looking guy

Well now Kershaw I'll be everyone's locker room joke

He'll never get the respect ever again is a pitcher

[pavyracer]

Not many people on this planet that can strike out 12 batters in a playoff game. Where was the Dodgers offense in this series?

[MexicanStallion]

No excuse for Kershaw to go to pieces in Game 1 to set up the disaster.

[SteelRain]

No excuse for Kershaw to go to pieces in Game 1 to set up the disaster.

it was Mattingly fault, he left him in too long, do you even know baseball? it's called end of the season dead arm

[Rich Boy]

Mattingly trying to save his job

If he takes Kershaw out early and the bullpen blows the lead, which is very possible because LAD bullpen is garbage, then Mattingly fired for sure

If he leaves Kershaw in there and he proceeds to blow the lead, then Kershaw takes the heat

Mattingly doesnt care about winning, he wants to collect a paycheck and let someone else take the heat

[klemopixx]

Starting pitching will only get you so far in the playoffs. Timely hitting, above average defense, a deep bench, a good bullpen, and a manager who knows how to use it all can overcome even the best of starters. The Dodgers didn't have enough clutch plays, end of story.

[PAYTON20]

it was Mattingly fault, he left him in too long, do you even know baseball? it's called end of the season dead arm

dead arm? C'mon man, he didn't even throw 200 innings this season

hilarious reading all these excuses.

Last night everyone hammered Mattingly for taking Ryu out and going to shitty bullpen

Now it's Mattingly's fault for not going to the shithole bullpen? Can't have it both ways. Everyone playing 20/20 hindsight games

[King Mayan]

Mattingly the dumbfukk

[MexicanStallion]

Sounds like excuses for a choking team.

There's a difference... Ryu was pitching good/great and was lifted for a pinch hitter with no one on base..... While kershaw doesn't get lifted game 1 and 4 after surrendering multiple hits after 100 pitches...

Anybody with common sense would understand...dumbfukks wont

[boeing power]

He's a choker.

Your guys' bullpen is fukking garbage bro. There's not a shutdown guy to go to in a pressure 7th inning w/ runners on

Again, hindsight is 20/20. Could Mattingly have managed better? Sure... But bailing out the players with all these excuses needs to stop.

This series is on Kershaw, Puig, A Gonz, etc. They folded under pressure, no other way to put it

[opie1988]

Love all the clowns here who think they know more about baseball than Don Mattingly

Fact: Majority of SBR posters could manage an MLB team. They simply choose not too

Opie, even tho I have called you dopie in the past, I am with you on this one.

[RollinDo]

Ok guys.
Bet against Kershaw every game next year...dare ya.
People on here probably had Dodgers the last 2 games..and if that's the case, you are worse than Mattingly.

[jjgold]

Good point about Mattingly when he was a Yankee a never got a big hit

His stats would be drastically lower if Ricky Henderson did not play there

Welcome to playoff mediocrity, very used to this as a Braves fan.
