Wow Kershaw no saves. Are we sure he should be in hall of fame talks?

It’s crazy they have a similar amount of innings but Pedro started about 40 fewer games

Pedro doing what he did in the steroid era will always give him the edge but both first ballot HOF

3 championships

Pedro really should have gotten mvp at least once and really should have both 1999 and 2000.

That’s awesome. I love those two dudes

Imagine if the injury troubles didn’t hit Kershaw hard in his last near-decade of pitching. His numbers would’ve looked even crazier.

Kershaw’s career era is lower than many Cy Young seasons.

Isn’t 3 championships? 2020 2024 2025? Am I missing something

Both are obvious first ballot HoFers but Pedro’s peak is unmatched. Kershaw may actually be the better overall pitcher though.

How many Don Zimmer’s did Kershaw toss to the ground?

Their career *totals* were nearly identical. This doesn’t say anything about how they got there, which is a very different claim.

Unreal career from Kershaw. Best pitcher of his generation for sure, but the thing that keeps him from being included in the same breath as guys like Pedro, Maddux, Johnson, etc. is his awful playoff performance in his career. A 4.62 career postseason era in 196 innings is not going to do it.

Both hall of famers for sure.

How many old men did Kershaw toss to the ground though?
