    I agree. Kersh is fine.

    You can't win if you can't score. And it doesn't help if your bullpen can't do their job by keeping inherited runners from scoring.

    Explain to me his problem then. He just sucks now, is that what you're saying?

    His xFIP is 2.15 which is best in baseball. His ERA will normalize. His K's are there. His walks are normal.

    I'd prefer to look at the bigger problem of the offense being MIA. Kershaw at the end of the season will probably have an ERA in the mid 2's and everyone will forget this ever happened. Although Kershaw really hasn't started off a season like this, he always has been much better the second half of the season.

    here's the thing on kersh
    he's been so unbelievable the past four years that we've come to expect it every time out
    it's almost like if he doesn't throw a shutout every time out we're mystified
    and it's unfair to set the bar that high -- for anyone
    plus it's hard to blame him for things that are [mostly] out of his control -- i don't think i've ever seen such a wide disparity between fip and era, and yes the latter will definitely level out like chris said

    BTW, not mentioned so far, maybe it was and I missed it (probably), is the plunk by Kershaw on Belt, which in my opinion was absolutely intentional. And I understand it to some degree, but it will require retaliation on the SF part.
    You can bet on it. If it was the other way round, we'd be fucking incensed.
    I can imagine the conversation from the redneck asshole to Bochy..." I'm going to drill somebody, Skip". and Bochy says back "No way, just go out there and shutout out these losers for the series and get the sweep. There's plenty of time to plunk somebody on another day".
    More to come on this, I'm pretty sure....

    To sum this series up....Madison Bumgarner produced more runs in 1 at bat than our entire team did in 27 innings.

    He doesn't suck now, but his walks are up

    Dude is getting fuck you money this year. He needs to spend more time working on his craft and less time swimming naked in Uncle Scrooges money bin........or grow his amish beard back
