Message: [QUOTE="Arangeman, post: 3559567, member: 6300"] MLB radio had some interesting analysis on Kershaw’s post season stats. 14 of his 17 inherited runners have scored. 82%. The league average is about 30%. FWIW if his pen was league average in those situations he’d have about a 3.50 post season era. He has started on short rest 6 times. For comparison Bumgardner 0 short rest starts. Verlander 1. He has been bad in relief. Not great on short rest. You would like to think he could overcome these challenges but he has also been continuously put in positions where success is less likely. Oh and the scumbag Astros used a history altering cheating scheme to beat him. None of this absolves him but a ring this year would make it all moot. At least for Dodger fans. [/QUOTE]
