Kersh was on the mound for every important playoff game for a damn decade. He was almost guaranteed to appear in all elimination games and he never said no. Short rest, 200 innings deep on the year, even in need of surgery, he took the ball in the biggest game. No matter the results that is a factor you have to consider
💯💯💯💯 Kershaw’s postseason and career legacy was ruined by 2 things bad managing and no rest does anyone remember when mad max was what they call a hero for going 3 innings 2 runs or when mad bum gave up a go ahead bomb to the cubs pitcher in 2014 no why cause there teams picked them up Kershaw never had a team like that but when he’s healthy 2025 will be his redemption year you wait and see
exactly! the only argument ppl have that Kershaw is bad in the postseason is his ERA. but when u rlly look at it its inflated bc of a few rlly bad starts (1 of his worst against cheaters) and bad managing especially early in his career
No no. Kershaw is great. Hall of famer. But he clearly cracks under post season pressure. Shame. I picked the dodgers to win every playoff start Kershaw made. I was wrong every time nearly. But when I finally accepted his playoff failures and picked against him, I was usually right. Looking back , I can't believe he struggled in the playoffs back then. But it's just what it is. Some guys just don't well with pressure. Kershaw is one of them. There's no excuse that changes it. He doesn't do well in playoffs
Kershaw hasnt been healthy for yearssss now. He at least goes on the IL 3 times a year. Add to that he doesnt take care of his body. Just look at his dad bod. And you think that now, at age 37 hes going to start being healthy? 😆
Місяць тому+27
I have to agree. Haters have always said he choked, but in a ton of situations, I've always believed that either the offense or management let him down. All those years with crappy teams, Kershaw always felt like he had to do it all to carry the team on his back. That's a lot of pressure for one person who needs a team to win it all.
Bro, how many straight years did Mattingly and Roberts make Kershaw go on three days rest during the playoffs? Pretty much his whole career.
Місяць тому+1
@TheMicahwitz I don't have a problem with three days rest starts because Kershaw is Kershaw he's going to take that ball regardless and usually your coach or manager will ask if you're willing to go. Now on that though I do have to say that if you're Robert's or Mattingly they knew he would take it. As a manager you have to look out for your guys and when to pull guys that can be self detriment to themselves or know whats best for the team. This is where I say that Kersh always has felt like he has to do it all.
😅 those two rings hold absolutely no weight to what Bumgarner did in his career. I’m sorry but goats don’t blow it every year until they’re finally sat down to watch a new young team win. Is kershaw got a ring with Kemp, Eithier maybe some respect. But no
Great video! I just wanted to make some comments 1. 2:34 2009 wasn't the first time the Dodgers made the postseason in Kershaw's career; they made it the year prior in Kershaw's rookie year and he even made some appearances that year 2. 5:34 those two runs were unearned since his defense committed two errors that lead to those runs 3. 6:22 it wasn't a perfect game, it was a no hitter since Hanley Ramirez made a throwing error that costed the perfect game
ur right! i dont know how i missed the 2008 him pithing in the nlcs i had his baseball reference pulled up for hours! im so frustrated about that! 2 i didnt know either cant believe i missed it. and 3 i knew it was a no hitter i remember watching the game and watching the Hanley error i must of missed spoke when recording and just didnt notice it while editing. regardless thankyou for your comment! this will make be way more diligent in my future videos on players im planning on doing alot of em soon!
@@BlueWaveBaseball it's annoying when little details evade us like the Hanley error, but still, this was a great video that, hopefully, changes the mind of some Kershaw doubters
@@BlueWaveBaseball *it was a perfect game ;) your video is really good with strong info. Editing is a little rough with some cuts being cutoff. Also you said '22 season was shortened instead of the '20 season. Overall really good, maybe have another pair of eyes on it before you post to catch stuff.
He’s not disrespected. He’s one of the greatest regular season pitchers alltime, but he’s a 500 win/loss pitcher with a 4.5 ERA in the playoffs. He’s just ok in the playoffs.
thank you for mentioning how Kershaws offense's never helped him out by keeping them bats ice cold. I feel The Dodgers are the monster they are now because of the mlb choosing to look the other way to houston cheating and the constant failure on offense every season and said "screw it we will just spend our way to the top now" and its working for the Dodgers.
Kershaw had a great career but also an unlucky one. During his prime he didn’t have any other players supporting him with offense. I think the managers would over pitch him and over rely on him. Now that the Dodgers have a solid team Kershaw is worn out. His velocity is below 90 and if his curveball isn’t working he gets into trouble.
It's kind of sad that some of the game's greats, almost leave 'the game' kicking and screaming. Getting shelled, at home, first inning, that Pads playoff game, which set the tone for that terrible NLDS loss, was awful.
@@threepea1151 verlander is more post season reliable, has more wins, more strikeouts, more games played, more experience. Kershawn is done and doesn’t have 100 more games as an ace pitcher. Dodgers won the championship because he wasn’t on the field ruining it for them taking the spotlight and being a diva yelling on and off the mound
That's the problem with relying solely on his playoff performance. Only 10% of Kershaw's starts were playoff games. Getting blasted in October should be weighted more, but it can't wipe out consistent excellence from April to September. Also there were several great performances in this video that ended up as Dodgers losses, while he's never had a bad start and gotten bailed out. Still the best pitcher of the 2010s at least (other than deGrom maybe).
I love kershaw great video! I think my favorite memory of him was watching him open the All Star game at Dodger Stadium and seeing how much the city loves him!
Kershaw is a great sportsman, a future Hall of Famer , a Christian and a philanthropist, a decent human being, a loving father and husband, a friend. To those who disrespect him, they are just simply jealous.
Kershaw's postseason legacy was largely influenced by Don Mattingly's poor decision making, overworking his Ace and the Dodgers' inability to generate offense when it counts. Dude literally pitched a flawed offense that was the Dodgers into the postseason multiple times and was gassed, only for his manager to keep overworking him on short-rest and taint his reputation. The Astros cheating obviously had a huge impact on his postseason career but it was not as severe as how much overworked he was by his manager. Kersh sacrificed his postseason reputation for the Dodgers to learn and literally "babied" Urias and Buehler through their development
"Babied urias" 😂😂 he was litterly a baby . Although urias was mlb ready the dodgers had to preserve his arm or be the subject of a very short career. Let's not bullshit ourselves, Kershaw is the tony romo of baseball, he's s choke artist. Stop making excuses for him. All those circumstances he faced, over coming then is what separates the greats from the rest especially pitching on short term rest. Plus he demanded to pitch on 3 days rest and would throw tantrums when they would take him out. Stop it. As much as I wanted him to be the one , he was NOT the one, he was no koufax, he was no hershissr and definitely no our beloved number 34, may he rest in peace
It's true. I went back to his prime year post season starts and he's either been left in too long, pitched on short rest or when he was taken out the reliever would crap the bed because we never had a solid bullpen back then. Toss in bad luck in late innings due to bad defense, errors or bloop hit and it erases all the good he's done up to then. Also some missed called strike calls that went against him that would have literally changed the outcome of the inning. Sucks but hard to complain, Kersh has 2 rings and is a first round HOF'er and if you ask players around the league they all talk about how great of a person he is. Love Kersh, made me the big Dodger fan that I am today.
Kershaw wasn't a playoff performer. Blame his usage or his team's lack of offense. But he hasn't had postseason success. He's consistently performed significantly worse in the playoffs. For years, I made excuses for him. But around 2020 I accepted, he's just not the same in the playoffs. There's no excuse anyone can make that changes that fact
Kershaw has the best career ERA since the early 1910s. He’s the greatest left handed starting pitcher ever, and great case for the best starting pitcher (Marino is a god Rivera) of all time.
Holy crap that 7th inning against the cardinals pisses me off the more I watch it. He really was mismanaged and it’s honestly insane how people can’t see that. Their brains just get stuck to the blown up era because of those mismanaged games. Obviously his poor starts are always there but his era in the playoffs wouldn’t never look as bad if he were coming up with Robert’s who over manages their bullpen
No one could ever take away what he’s done and who he is. Negative people will continue to spew their poison. If I was Kershaw I’m not losing any sleep over anyone and their venom
thats a insane comparison. knowing the best cutter off all time is coming vs knowing a curveball or fastball or slider is coming is way different. Kershaw's curveball is so elite bc its tunnels well with his fastball and moves so much out of the zone if you know its coming you just take it. same with the slider kershaw throws most of his siders down and in on rights and down and away on lefty's. if u know its coming as a right u can hit that shit a mile. if ur a lefty u can just take it once again. please dont just cherry-pick 1 of the greatest pitches of all time to try and make a point
@BlueWaveBaseball not really Greg Maddux tipped every pitch he ever threw after like 1993 and he still got guys out if you execute your pitches correctly it doesn't matter if they know what's coming
@@jordandimarzio6322 when he was injured? He was injured against Arizona. Kershaw takes the ball regardless no matter what. Majority of pitchers don’t make that start with a messed up shoulder like he did. And what ur saying about Maddox is just not true
It's literally crazy how many time he's been blown up in the playoffs. I forgot how bad it's been. He has more bad starts than decent or good starts in playoffs. If he never pitched in postseasons, he'd be the best pitcher ever and the dodgers would still have 2 rings with Kershaw.
A lot of the early bad starts suck to watch but he’s literally at like 100 pitches in the 7th inning and Mattingly wouldn’t pull him bc the Dodgers had absolutely no bullpen those years outside of Kenley Jansen.
Spahn and Sain and pray for rain! That first guy will always be the greatest southpaw pitcher. I don't see anyone getting even close to 363 wins, that's for sure! Though Kershaw (no not the singer) does have about 400 more K's and a full 1/2 run lower ERA... Obviously I'm going by the Pitching Triple Crown numbers first and foremost (W's, ERA, K's) not those really weird sounding stats you hear of nowadays...
Kershaw has to take responsibility for his bad starts. One issue was his stubbornness to not wanting to come out of games. The managers would cave to him and Kershaw would end up blowing up in the late innings. Second is the fact that they had told him about the Astros cheating and to change signs. Again, he was stubborn and said no bc he didn't want to mess up his routine. So Astros blowing him up is partly his fault
@rodgermurphy5721 First, there were rumblings Astros were cheating on the news. If we the pubic know, how the Dodgers not going to know? Second, its in the book of about Kershaw "The Last of his kind" that he was told by the team that Astros might be sign stealing, to change his signs. He said no bc he didn't want to disrupt his routine
Blah, blah, blah. All I ever hear is excuses. The actual greats don't make excuses. They execute in high pressure situations. Clayton Manning is the greatest regular season pitcher ever because he can pad his stats against bad teams. In the playoffs, he can't hide.
Im sorry but as a giants fan growing up i heard kershaw the goat kershaw the goat…. Meanwhile we had madbum 3 rings deep by 2016 still pitching amazing. Kershaw had the cy young and the ks yes but when it come down to it, he wasn’t that guy. Sorry but kershaw just couldn’t do what goats do. 2020 is a joke year we all know. 2024 he didn’t do shit 🤣. If he had at least one ring 2010-2019 but no 😂. I say 19 because he literally blew it then too.

Dude tries to blame Astros for his legacy and then chokes against the BoSox and in the NLCS
Not like the 2018 Red Sox were good or anything.
@ that’s my point. Don’t blame the Astros. He took Ls against a lot of teams. Dude got a Mickey Mouse ring and was the waterboy for the one last year
KERSHAW IS WASHED sorrry dodgers fans yall cant ignore the facts never has he had a good postseason outing lol this video is really stupid
