He's only Human

After giving up an astounding 8 earned runs, we as fans have come to realize that Clayton Kershaw may in fact be human.  He could not be hit during the entire regular season.  Teams would cower when they say that it was Kershaw pitching that day.  He has developed that much of a luster.  Maybe he isn't as good as everyone is making him out to be.  Maybe his entire season was a fluke.  Maybe the Dodgers should be worried about him.

Okay hold the phone.  For those of you thinking that right now, he's still Clayton Kershaw.  The same guy that went 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA and 239 strikeouts.  He is still the best pitcher in the Majors.  Playoff baseball is just different.  You are facing the best teams in your respective leagues.

Let's not forget about the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Dodgers did actually play them.  The Cardinals offense was due.  They have way too many weapons to not have a good offense.

Even Justin Verlander had a bad game on his MVP/Cy Young run.  Kershaw will bounce back.  He is way too talented of a pitcher not to.  We'll see the Kershaw we all know his next time out.
