There was nothing for you to correct

If any team scores no runs and their pitcher doesn't toss a shutout, he loses. Not sure your point.

BTW- Bum's ERA THIS postseason was 1.93 over two starts. IF we're allowed to use these "ifs"... if his BP can get 3 outs in the 9th of game 4, Bum may have another opportunity to go legend in game 5, as the potential first/last guy out of the pen after Cueto. That said, I think 1.93 in 2016 is pretty impressive in its own right.

Life is about opportunity. 1.93 era or not, Kershaw had a better postseason then Bum THIS year. Maybe if Bum had the chance, things could of been different. If kershaw pitched game 1 versus the cubs maybe things are different too but it doesnt matter. Going by the actual games pitched in THIS postseason kershaw did more.

The point I made about a team scoring zero runs, is that teams pitcher never had the opportunity to win the game. However if you think Bum was impressive this year, then not sure how you cant be impressed with Kershaw THIS year as well in the postseason. If kershaw sucked this year than so did Mr. Bumg.

Get off it. Bum is better in the post season bar none. He's been better in each and every post season of his career, 2010, 2014, 2014, and 2016, than Kershaw has been in any single post season of his career. Look it up.

Kershaw is a stud, but seems like you're going to ridiculously great lengths to argue something that just isn't there as far as his postseason legacy (this year, and career) are concerned. In about a week, Kershaw's 2016 postseason will be forgotten forever. Aside from a couple short rest appearances, there is nothing about it that will stand the test of time.

agree with most except in 2016. We will agree to disagree that Mad Bum had a better post-season than Kershaw in 2016.

man Kershaw has to be jealous of Hendricks...bases loaded when he leaves the game with one out and nobody scoring...thats 3 inherited runners his relievers prevent from going onto his era...... people focused on era will point to his 0.00 era now..but if 2 runs come its in the 5s...etc...

i think thats about has many inherited runners the dodgers relievers prevented from scoring in all of kershaw's career postseason appearances...

in a side note i think kyle kendricks is also jealous of kyle hendricks..

- in spite of Joe Madden pulling Kyle Hendricks with a 5-1 lead.

IMO that was a huge blunder...but he got away with it.

I would not want Jon Lester on my team...that's ridiculous!

I know, I know- he pitched well - there is just NO excuse for a pitcher that is so well paid to be unable to make throws to first and just barely able to field his position at all.

I'm glad the Cubs won...in spite of all that.
