BumGardner vs Kershaw

[slayer14]

Who the better pitcher for you.

[smitch124]

Kershaw is the best pitcher in MLB, and its not close.

[mohye1980]

Keyshaw not even close

[JayDr3am]

kershaw with no hesitation

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Yeah, I'll probably go with the guy who has the best era of all time in the world series at .25 as opposed to the choke artist who will never even make a WS in his lifetime. You want Kershaw in a meaningless game in July, and Bumgarner when you are actually trying to win something.

Bum 3 world series rings. Kerchoke 0. Read the stat on that

All that really matters... 2-6, 4.59 ERA vs 7-3 (4-0 WS), 2.14 ERA

this is EXACTLY what i was going to say... im a big fan of both pitchers, but when the postseason is what really matters, you HAVE to choose Bummy because of it... Reg season = kershaw. Reg season + playoffs = Bummy.. And its not even close.

Kershaw - Regular season
Bumgardner - Post season

[darrell74]

Kershaw - Regular season
Bumgardner - Post season

that's right

hard to find a Giants fan that wants Kershaw over MadBum
Dodger fans are probably the same way

If the Dodgers had any kind of a bullpen the last few years this would not be a discussion. Teams win championships. Yes he had a great run in 14 but that team was solid.

Dude has a .25 era in the WS. A great run, cmon now dude..he single-handedly won game 7 for the Giants when he took over for Jeremy or whoever that was in the 3rd inning.

Kershaw has had 13 playoff starts, he has given up 8 ER, 7 ER, and 5 ER in 3 of those games. But yeah, I'm sure if they had a bullpen they would've won those games................

I dont get what you are trying to say??? Kershaws postseason stats are GARBAGE regardless if they had the best bullpen in the league behind him, it doesnt make a difference.. Whats your point here?

This says it all, how many Cy Young winners do you know that have such pitiful numbers in the playoffs...2-6 with a 4.59, any pitcher in the league could put up those garbage stats.

[eidolon]

I'll go with the guy with the lowest ERA the last 6 years



































in the World Series!

madbum 3 rings and one of greatest pitching performances in mlb history

LOL not even worthy of a poll

[slayer14]

People are rating Kershaw has one of the greats after last night lol

[unde0087]

I would take Thor over both

[thecutter]

I would take Thor over both

Holdup . I respect your opinion often but ....????

[slayer14]

Kershaw had his chance last night he blew it

[Ra77er]

Madbum was created in a lab or something. As an NC native myself perhaps I should be tested. There is no debate that I'd take madbum game 7 but Kershaw is the only human choice and I like that about him. He may yet get a ring, or he may not but I'll always regard him as one of the greats.
