If Kershaw doesn't win this game then he'll be unable to shake the Playoff Choker Kershaw narrative for the rest of his career.

Literally one good postseason run would wipe this all away. Even one good series if it was the WS would wipe it away. Narratives are dumb

he walked three dudes in the seventh and all three dudes scored. that was the last thing he did, so it's what people remember.

it was bad, though.

Yay defense I guess?

Kershaw looks like he can't throw strikes, if that radar gun is accurate it seems like he's overthrowing cause 95+ is fast for him.

it's funny cause if the dodgers had managed to actually score him some runs and he "won" then we would be hearing the opposite

Looks a bit like he did in the first inning on Friday. Whether he'll settle in and gain some accuracy like he did then I don't know.

This is basically the story of Kershaw's career.

Game 4 against the Cardinals last year was 3-2 after all.
