i think thats about has many inherited runners the dodgers relievers prevented from scoring in all of kershaw's career postseason appearances... in a side note i think kyle kendricks is also jealous of kyle hendricks.. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-29-2016 at 02:28 PM.

Cubs win! Cubs win!
- in spite of Joe Madden pulling Kyle Hendricks with a 5-1 lead.
IMO that was a huge blunder...but he got away with it. I would not want Jon Lester on my team...that's ridiculous! I know, I know- he pitched well - there is just NO excuse for a pitcher that is so well paid to be unable to make throws to first and just barely able to field his position at all. I'm glad the Cubs won...in spite of all that.

congrats to the cubbies, seems like a bunch of nice guys (besides chapman). epstein is the ring whisperer. maddon kind of went overboard with the "use your best reliever in the most leveraged situation". became a war of attrition there at the end and the more superior team won.

Supposedly, with greater risk, comes greater glory.
It has been said that, in order to become a winner, one must be willing to risk failure. Jon Lester is incomplete as a ballplayer no matter how good his deliveries to the plate are. He makes his teammates strain to cover his butt. IMO - Just as Shaq never resolved the Free Throw issue, I'll always believe such an issue can be conquered with enough effort. James Harden's lack of defense is another obvious example. Brooks Robinson and Ozzie Smith were not good hitters when they first came up, but through their efforts, they became at least competitive against the highest level of play. Darrell Evans was not born with speed, but became know as one of the smartest baserunners ever. There are many more examples of those who worked hard and made themselves better. Perhaps all the guaranteed money makes a difference after all. .

The only thing that takes the sting away from the Red Sox getting blown out is watching the Yankees blow a huge lead and lose in extra innings. I'm really excited for a Cleveland/Houston series, though. Should make for some great baseball.

stats dont matter when up 7 runs....rather have a 90% chance to give up 4 runs or less than a 50% chance to do that due to pitching around guys to keep your era lower in exchange for having more risk to give up the lead..........only 4 runs..one less its a quality start...you acting like he gave up 7 runs etc.. Another win...... one more win and he can be series mvp for that round if they gave those awards...(he would of won last years) Its also yet another start when he left the game his team was winning.... hes on an amazing run.....livan hernandez won world series mvp and look at his era..... the whip was good for kershaw....1.263...you singling out one metric which isnt bad at all given the situation... Plus its not like he gave up 4 runs and they were down 4-0......its when you give up the runs which is also important Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-07-2017 at 10:45 AM.

If you want to see shelled...look at Grey, Greinke , T.

Dodgers still on march to win it all.....feel free to criticize if dodgers are no longer playing this year..pointless to talk now...especially when kershaw keeps pitching in games his team wins.

That is perhaps the most ridiculous spin I have ever seen put on something. LOL. Stats don't matter when you have a lead. LOL. Yes they do because teams come back. He had yet another mediocre outing. I am sure he would tell you so himself. Period paragraph.

You can win world series MVP if you go 6.1 innings with 4 runs earned and win 3 starts. Heck Livan Hernandez won World Series MVP with a 5.27 era and a 1.829 whip with just 2 W's. Team wins matter obviously..and Kershaw's team won. Plus its not like he gave up 7 runs etc... Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-07-2017 at 11:05 AM.

B- Home runs are bad, the three things a pitcher can directly control are K's, BB's and home runs (which is why FIP is more predictive of future success than ERA) so, maybe you could make the argument that Roberts should not have brought him out for the 7th, but to try and say he pitched well is a false narrative C- people are smarter about what matters in baseball now,stuff like pitcher wins aren't considered important any more so Livan wouldn't win MVP in 2017

First of all, EE is reportedly day-to-day. Finish off the Yankees today, and you can just let him heal. Second of all, his replacement is All-Star Michael Brantley at DH. You pick your poison there. You lose a power bat, but you add a .300+ bat. Think about this. The Indians lineup with EE is Lindor, Kipnis, JRam, EE, Bruce, Slamtana, LF/Gomes/Perez, Gomes/Perez/LF, Urshella. Now you plug and play Brantley in there. Regardless, you still have to get through 6 hitters before you face a lesser bat, and even Austin Jackson is batting around .300 and has hit in that 7 hole, so that would mean 7 formidable hitters before a lesser bat. Plus, Gomes hit the game winner on Friday.

Right,,he could of been tired gong into the 7th...if he just goes 6 innings and score was 6-4 maybe he doesnt even come out for the 7th.....its not the same thing to give up 2 runs when up 5 versus only up 2 on the late innings. Justin turner is mvp right now but series is not over...game 2 wasnt great for turner...so again like i said kershaw is top 3 still mvp wise. YOu can also say the Dodgers are winning because the other teams staters are still pitching worse than kershaw...arizona has a more potent offense as well and for C- you say people are smarter about what matters in baseball now, well holding a lead is more important than era. We can all argue about 'what matters' but there isnt a clear line. Livan still wins MVP as well. Plus season isnt over for Kershaw yet....need to wait for year to end to judge...but if he wins every start...i not sure how that hurts his legacy even if era is 5 if hes a top starting pitcher in all of the playoffs...again people are smarter about what matters in baseball now. starting pitching in the playoffs is a different standard than regular season....if you disagree than its not so easy to say 'people are smarter about what matters in baseball now" I value helping your team win.. There are about 90 % of the starters in this years playoffs that could of lost the game that kershaw won....goin g6 innings and getting a large lead is worth a lot.....again its only 1 game....still more time to decide.

Giving pitchers credit because they only gave up *insert more than 4 runs here* and won a game based on "preserving the lead" is silly, it's folly. Good pitching is good pitching. If a pitcher goes 6 and gives up 8 REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME, that was a bad start. No pitcher with multiple games that bad should win any individual awards for the postseason. Bad starts are bad starts, trying to make excuses for them based on the score doesn't work as an argument. and the idea that Livan Hernandez won a world series MVP with this stat line: 13.2 inn pitched, 5.27 ERA, 7 K's, 10 BB's, 15 hits and 3 HR's allowed in 2 starts (where his teams won 7-4 and 8-7) is hilariously awful.Like, whoever voted for him was bad and they should feel bad.

How well his own team hit has nothing at all to do with how well a pitcher pitched. This is entirely obvious.
