relief arms are the most volatile position in baseball from one year to the next, heck from one month to the next! Guys will post the best numbers in MLB and then be awful the following season. It's a tough gig.

but same has happened with starting ptichers.... think the path should be much much tougher if any path for a reliever to be in the HOF.. its like special teams in football, you can be an all pro one year than cut the next year if you are a gunner etc.. |

Was totally wrong about Cleveland.... They're scrappy! Toronto will not beat Cleveland playing 2-1 3-2 games. They need to take advantage of the fact that Carrasco and Salazar out.

If a team is going to beat Cleveland, they had better score some runs in the first 5 innings or so because when that bullpen takes over...

I currently don't have a good feeling about this series and unless the Jays get it together quickly, I can see Cleveland winning both games in Toronto completing the sweep.

kershaw comes through again
Now the short sample size is starting to return to the normal form for kershaw with his 1-0 victory
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... |

Hmmm....you could be on to something, actually. I just realized all of the Dodgers' wins this season came with Kershaw on the team...and most of those he was in the dugout.

You were provided with many stats on the past performances that showed the amount of runs scored was not usual given the metrics in play. The recent performances are showing the numbers evening out. Your quote was "The post season continues, IMO, to be a huge black mark on his otherwise astonishing career" Lets face it, the narrative has changed. He has pitched in every post season victory this year for the Dodgers. I just dont see the Huge Black mark when you made that post, when he won the first 2 games he started which helped him earn another start in the second round and another victory. I mean it only took one more start to show right now he is having a TERRIFIC postseason. You are allowed to not have as good numbers against 100 win teams overall then you do when you face the Braves/losing teams this year in the regular season. Postseason stats against elite teams are not expected to be as good as they are against the regular season teams. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-17-2016 at 12:36 PM. |

Very few, if any, players collect enough at bats or appearances in the postseason to provide enough data not tarnished by sample size. I mean, it's hardly fair to look at 60 inning and compare it to a career of 2000 innings because we know that the larger the sample the greater the stability of the numbers. Go back and look at my post that compared Kershaw's regular season to playoffs, he's done pretty much the same thing just with worse results in BABIP and HR/FB this signals that it is most likely poor luck and sample size at play here.
