Who?

Where will be be at the end of 2018? It is not looking too good for him.

What on earth are you talking about??? Yes he's had back issues, but he's currently fine and his numbers, when he takes his turns in the rotation, have never suffered much. You make it seem like he's suffering some career threatening injury currently, or pitching poorly.

Yeah he pitches 6 innings every 6th day. Awesome.

The post I was reacting to implies he's going to fade into obscurity at the end of this year. That's just silly.

What team do you root for? I assume you wouldn't want Kershaw then?

Red Sox, we already have a fragile superstar lefty lol. Of course Kershaw is a great pitcher, but it bewilders me that for a big strong young guy he has become so delicate.

I’d take Kershaw on my team any day of the week and twice on Sunday’s.

Haters will hate lol

If he's pitched during the week he isn't available on Sunday.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Terrific guy, so it seems, and still a good pitcher but he is not at all what he once was. Besides what seems to be a back issue I think St. Louis in the playoffs a couple years ago really did a number on him mentally.

And as has been pointed out, he is not pitching many innings and he has a lot of rest between starts. I think that speaks volumes but I am guessing you are not taking that into account.

8 innings 7 hits no walks 9 k's 2 earned runs.

We have our Cy Young winner for 2018, no?

so if he is not top 5 contention for cy young he had a bad year. The fact the bar is so high shows you how dominant he is and has been. So what if he doesnt match is prime elite years. If he pitched 80% as good as he did in his elite years and only pitched at that 80% mark for his whole career, lets say 17 years...hes still in the Hall of fame as one of the greatest ever.

plus his best playoff pitching has been in the last 2 playoff years versus the prior years.....so hes only getting better in that area...

if a NL fantasy draft started tomorrow..he'd still be right there with Nola, Scherzer, Degrom. You want to talk about injuries....talk Strasburg...

So those are the only options for you? Cy Young or faded into obscurity by the end of the season???

Just trying to point out how silly you are for using a single game's stats to rebut my pov. Don't worry our BVG 10 Kershaw rookies still have value.

I was pointing out how silly

"Who?

Where will be be at the end of 2018? It is not looking too good for him. "

is.

Also if you'd like more than one game. When he went on the DL his ERA was 2.86, it's now 2.39. His WHIP was 1.10 it's now 1.00, His BAA was .237, it's now .220. Clearly he's washed up and has no future. I mean hell, he is 30...


Oh, and I don't own any modern cards.

Silly to judge someone on one season, given his extensive all star/cy young history and heck even this year is an excellent year...what gives?

Sign of things to come, hopefully, he's a joy to watch when he's on.
