He did it again: Funniest memes and reactions from yet another meltdown by Clayton Kershaw

Death, taxes, and Clayton Kershaw struggles in the postseason. Just when it seemed like the superstar pitcher had it together for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the old playoff woes knocked on the southpaw’s door once again.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves were tied at one through five innings, with Kershaw looking like his usual, dominant self. He was in control and that extra day of rest clearly helped him ahead of his outing.

Then, the good-old Kershaw showed up. Ronald Acuña Jr hit an infield single, Freddie Freeman drove him home with a double, followed by another double by Marcell Ozuna until manager Dave Roberts finally pulled him out of the game.

Fast-forward to the end of the inning and the Dodgers had their backs against the wall by trailing 7-1 in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series and are now on the verge of being sent back home.
