Lawful Metal Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 The Baseball Gods hate the Astros. Cannot believe the luck of the (Devil) Rays and the unluck of the (Angel) Astros.

Oh, wait... There isn't any such... Ah, you guys just hate on the Braves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It's 15-0 in the Top of the 3rd The Braves should just start using position players to pitch to save the pen since there are no days off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 So is Clayton Kershaw the Dusty Baker of pitchers? One of the best pitchers in the last 10 years who is almost useless in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best pitchers in the last 10 years who is almost useless in the playoffs I am assuming you are using Dusty in the manager sense and not the player sense. I mean I don't know if there was ever a period of time where I would say Dusty was "one of the best managers" but that is more believable than "Dusty was one of the best hitters..."

hammerva Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 True Dusty was never considered the best manager but he definitely was in the respected category given that he took so many teams to the playoffs. I mean he took the Reds to the playoffs. The better example to Clayshaw probably would have been Marty Schottenheimer but trying to use baseball example.

It really is amazing how much Kershaw has been terrible in the playoffs. We're talking about the guy who has the lowest ERA in the live ball era of ANY starter. He has a ridiculous pedigree and resume. Over the last 12 seasons, his highest ERA is 3.03. He's had a WHIP under 1.0 seven times. He had a 15.64 K/BB ratio one year. But in the playoffs...it just ain't there. He's had multiple great games - including the earlier this year - but too many like last night for it to be a fluke. And the pattern is usually the same - 4-5 innings of great work and then, boom, 4 or 5 runs. Hard to fathom the guy has issues with nerves but what other explanation is there?
