He was but he took the Loss and he's been taking a lot of those in last few Octobers

i don't think it's a comparison of regular to post season (i know that's what Dland specifically mentioned). it's just, is he an elite big game pitcher or is he not? that's probably more of an appropriate question.

It's the same question

Big data vs small data.

Edit: how do you define "big game" too?

So who's better than Kershaw? Would love to see the answers.

it's not the same question. and is the question of what's a big game in sports that mysterious?

playoff games, elimination games, division on the line, etc etc. yeah all 162 games add up and count, but you don't think some games are bigger and more meaningful?

some guys crank it up a notch in those situations. some don't.

 

[DeadsetAce]

and for the record, i'm not saying he's not. just trying to justify the debate

I cant wait to see Wrigley during Game 3 holy crap

You think Bartman gets invited?

You think Bartman gets invited?

Even if he was invited, I don't think he'd even go. He would be publicly putting himself out there. Too much of a risk. Some dumb Cubs fans are still salty. I mean, there was still Game 7 and that 8th inning was full of errors. They need to get over it. Just sucks that he maybe loves the Cubs more than those fans and cant get himself to watch them in person.

Stupid stat/fact of the day

Hopefully this wasn't a sportswriter, if it is, damn shame they don't know how MLB salaries work.

Man, Rondon is not a dude I'd feel comfortable with closing out games.

Heyward is a gigantic human.
