This is typical online BS. Nothing that happens on the field will change your minds.
Say that in a sports Bar, and see if that flies.

You have to give druff a break, he had no reason to watch the playoffs after 20 million dollar kid ruined yet another postseason for dodger fans.

Just as likely??????
if it was 1920 you'd be saying the same thing about Babe Ruth.

If you go by reg season stats, (and don't have an eye for the game) he is not worth big bucks.
Typical Giants fan arrogance above.

There are simply not enough postseason games to justify the claim that someone is a postseason monster, unless they've had a long career doing it to where the number of postseason games really add up.

Otherwise it's very possibly variance and you can't draw conclusions from it.

Truthfully, Kershaw's "choking" in the playoffs seems to be a Cardinals-only thing. He has always struggled against that team, for reasons unknown. Even with that, he went a really dominant 6 innings BOTH times in the NLDS, and then just collapsed in the 7th, the second time likely due to short rest.

But that's not even the topic here. The bottom line is that I'd be happy to have Sandoval on my team in the postseason, but not pay huge bucks for that privilege.
