Just knew Kershaw would come up huge today. Lots of negative feedback in the third inning, but he showed his true makeup today.
I agree. I got worried in the 3rd and though he was about to have another post-season meltdown, but he battled through and then dominated the rest of the game. Hats off to Kershaw!

It all comes down to Kershaw's curveball now. His fastball and slider are about 2mph apart in speed now as compared to 10mph difference ten years ago and the difference in movement has gone down as well. . That makes it a whole lot easier to adjust to what he throws. When he has command of the curve like today he can still dominate.
