OT: Kershaw coming up small yet again
- Thread starter Relayer
- Start date
Long game but not a good start. Frankly Nats just missed 2 home runs. Easily could be 6-7 runs.
Clayton strikes again! Blows the NLDS tonight for the Dodgers. Not much else to say. Great job Nats!
Very good read here.

Surprised? Nope. The dude can’t handle any pressure past the sixth inning. That’s history. He is the greatest 6 inning pitcher of all time. His stats are crazy thru 6. But something happens after that and he is terrible. Why Roberts put him that situation is beyond me. Roberts should be canned!
Long time Dodger fan here. Last night was brutal. I knew this was going to be a tough series because the Nats have been strong once they got over the bad start. I feel bad for Kershaw. Some of his post season stats were caused by bad breaks and relievers not performing, but there's no excuse for the two home runs.
And the Dodgers' bats were silent after the 2nd inning. I don't think they hit a ball hard until Smith's fly out to the wall in the 9th.
The Nats might go all the way.
Wait till next year!
damn, I turned the game off when it was 3-1. Appears that I missed an interesting ending.
Maybe you won't feel so bad for Kershaw after reading this......
