This is nonsensical rationalization.


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.

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.

Good to hear!

Hopefully they finish off the Yankees tonight!

Yes it does. Whenever someone says something is obvious or 'clearly' usually that means it is not in my humble experience...

two more starting pitchers tonight went about 2 innings...

@#$%^&* Judge! That was a 2 run H/R if any other right fielder was playing there!

We have just missed 2 HRs tonight. AJax was a degree off in his launch angle (warning track) and then Frankie was robbed.

Jose looking out of sync at the plate.

Agreed. He's taking big swings, which isn't so much his game, although he does have a long swing on his HR balls.
