and add another W....how many starting pitchers in the playoffs this year have gone 6 + innings....he was fine. you are ok with the yankee starter in the twins getting blown as just a bad start..
stats dont matter when up 7 runs....rather have a 90% chance to give up 4 runs or less than a 50% chance to do that due to pitching around guys to keep your era lower in exchange for having more risk to give up the lead..........only 4 runs..one less its a quality start...you acting like he gave up 7 runs etc..
Another win...... one more win and he can be series mvp for that round if they gave those awards...(he would of won last years)
Its also yet another start when he left the game his team was winning.... hes on an amazing run.....livan hernandez won world series mvp and look at his era..... the whip was good for kershaw....1.263...you singling out one metric which isnt bad at all given the situation...
Plus its not like he gave up 4 runs and they were down 4-0......its when you give up the runs which is also important
