    Isn't Kershaw 3-0 ?
    I think with Kershaw, on here anyway, 3-0 is like 0-6.
    Reality: 3-0..
    in DSP hateworld = 0-6.
    So, DSP >>>>>>>>> IRL.
    Pactum factum.

    He still has a good K:BB ratio and doesn't allow many base runners.
    It's his diminished stuff and predictability that allows guys to tee off a couple times a game.
    Same with Kenley.
    The HRs kill.

    Kershaw is still a good pitcher, but a lot of the critique he gets has to due with his past dominance.

    The expectations will always be a little different with him due to the standard he set and even though his decline was inevitable like with any player, it's still sad to watch.

    I remember when I used to get on you for being so negative and now you are the voice of reason.
    I don't think you have changed all that much.
    Just that a bunch of others got way more critical of our players.
    Kershaw is a loser but he's our loser.
    And that support might finally give him the win we deserve.

    Well, whippersnapper, one of the very few things that comes with old age that's a positive, is perspective.
    Far more realistic than it was in younger times.

    Kikè has been colder than Antarctica recently. So much for the breakout season thus far. Still a good player.

    Dude is calling for retaliation for no reason. Pipe down old man. JT is a pin cushion because he stands literally over the plate.

    Guy's one of the best pitchers of a generation. Hated here, like Kershaw, don't you think he sees something possibly that actually is going on? No possibility of that?
    Maybe he's also saying that Roberts should stop being a cunt and fucking retaliate...just once, would be nice.
    If they crack his elbow or something and he's out for a month or more maybe then somebody will get pissed off ?

    I'm all for retaliation when necessary. Probably more then most people to be honest, because it's pretty dangerous. You could easily release the ball a little higher and let one hit a guy in the head.

    Watch Justin the next time he steps up to the plate. He's legitimately on top of the plate. Pitches that are barely on the inside corner are going to look extremely inside. He can literally turn his shoulder in and get hit by a pitch that would likely be a strike on the inner half of the plate, no joke.
