I've long been a Keshaw apologist when it comes to his postseason struggles. I've said many times that he may go down as the best pitcher of my lifetime. I'm a big fan. Still, it is hard to ignore what a stain on his legacy is his subpar postseason performances. A 4.28 ERA in 145 postseason innings is no long all that small of a sample size. I know lots of folks get frustrated by "old school" non-stat people talking about clutch and all over hard stars. I'm one of those people that get frustrated by that. But it is getting to the point where there seems to be something to it with Kershaw. As much as I still love the guy, I no longer think of him as an all-time great.
Does anyone have any theories for his postseason career, if it isn't lack of clutchness?
