Is Kershaw a Hall of Fame pitcher ?

Sure he is but that does not mean he is a top pitcher now

He will definitely get in, probably first ballot.

Unfortunately for him though, he will most likely be most remembered for his postseason meltdowns.

Contrast that to say, Bumgarner, who will be most remembered (to me at least) for his postseason dominance.

I don't see how he doesn't with how well he pitches during the season. I just don't understand how he keeps becoming mediocre in the playoffs. I mean I could see having some trouble with your first post season game or world series game but after you've experienced it I'd think there'd be some kind of familiarity?comfort with it. I mean he came into the game with not that much pressure compared to a start or coming in with men on base. Could've been tired too which would also be Robert's fault partially. He's a great pitcher but as someone who doesn't watch him too much during the season I remember the meltdowns unfortunately. 

Is Charles Barkley a Hall of Fame Player...Is Karl Malone?...Will James Harden be a Hall of Fame player...Not every one is GOAT Jordan and clutch in the postseason. 

More like Hall of shame he's no good in the playoffs plain loser

Last year he pitched OK in playoffs and they made it to WS,most years he has not pitch well in playoffs,but season wins will get him in HOF which is what they go by,not winning championships does not effect that,only how the team is rated as far as best ever,though this year team had a bunch of wins,couple years no one will remember that.

He is first year entry.

On roller skates but slap that asterix on there as that dude with the highest era in the 6th inning or later in mlb post season history 12. something lol 

Yet, some morons question if Yadier Molina will make the HOF.....   yet will handily hand the keys to Kershaw making it 

you know absolutely nothing about Peyton Manning lol. That is a pathetic comparison. 

One player can't win championships. Peyton Manning will forever be greatest QB at line of scrimmage not because of his arm talent, but his intelligence and how well he reads and dissects the coverages and blitzes. He never had great defenses to bail him out in tough post season matchups except for his last 2 season in Denver unlike Brady has. Brady is good, but his team is consistent and better overall every year in terms of defense and special teams.

As for Kershaw, yes he gave back to back homers, but he didnt blew up the lead. It was a tie game. Blame Dodgers offense for not putting enough runs on board to win. Its been their story for most part of the season. How many walks offs they have and how many close games they had entire regular season despite great pitching rotation.

and lastly stop making dumbass comparisons. Kershaw is a hall of a fame pitcher. there is no question about it. if anyone questions that, then they are just butt hurt by betting on Dodgers and came here to cry about it.

Hall of fame is not about one game. Its how long a player performed at elite level in their careers.

get over it.

Ted Williams.  Junior.  Juan Marichal.   Ichiro.

Same answer.
