Playoff yips?

6 runs in a third of an inning tonight. His postseason ERA was 4.22 going in, compared to an astonishing regular season ERA of 2.48. It's completely inexplicable IMO except that he cannot handle pressure. After 39 games and 194 innings (oh, plus a third), it's no longer possible to write it off to sample size.

He's always struggled in the playoffs, but this was a new level. This could be a great series, especially with Gallen waiting

History should have taught Roberts that the minute Clayton is in trouble is the time to yank him outta there. He never should have still been in there to give up the three run shot.
|
I thought winning a WS had changed the yips narrative? But I was never convinced.

A 2 run disparity between regular season and post season ERA. That is beyond incredible.
|
Sad for him
Sad for his team Sad for his fans The game was over before it started Was looking forward to a good game but should have know better |

Signed, devout Giants fan. |
His ERA this post season is 162.00 so far. Yippee for the D’Backs.
|
His post season ERA is now 4.49.
|
If their centerfielder had caught that 1st ball, could have been a completely different inning. How did they not give him an error???

I got in a debate with someone who argued that Clayton Kershaw was a better pitcher than Bob Gibson. Regular season stats kind of make that argument. But I said I would never choose Kershaw as my #1 pitcher if they were on the same team because Gibson is a big game pitcher, and Kershaw is not.

Gibson no brainer. |
I've read the analyses debunking the concept of clutch players, but then we have Kershaw and you have to wonder. Even the best players may blow one occasionally (Mariano Rivera and the D-Backs, for example), but not over and over and over. If you take out 2020, Kersh is 11-13 with a rotten ERA, just shockingly ineffective when it really counts.

Gibson was pretty amazing in the World Series. After pitching every 4th day in the regular season in '64 and "68 (he missed some time in '67), he started 3 games in each of those series, 81 innings total with a 1.89 ERA, a 7-2 record and two WS MVPs. What a competitor he was!
