You will see the news outlets saying the dodgers won all 3 of his starts. Like i said, people focus on the individual and team Ws....
No way the Washington series is a blemish at all to his legacy with the key save and he was in line for two Ws.......
Dodgers only wins this postseason have come from games that Kershaw has either started or finished...

Small sample size has nothing to do with it. Find me a sample without cherry picking of 13 regular season starts where (even including last night's gem) his stats are anywhere near as bad as his post-season stats. Instead of blaming sample size, it makes much more sense to me to say he had some very poor performances in years past, some OK but not up to par ones against the Nationals, and a phenomenal one yesterday. THAT was what you expect from the best pitcher in baseball.
