Gutsy move with Jansen... outside the box worked well for Roberts

getting 2 outs may seem mundane, but twitter reactions to kershaw from some of the best baseball writers like law cameron keri olney passan lindberg etc. etc. they knew the bad playoff kershaw was a B.S. narrative.
personally i'm not sure the 2 outs changed anything one way or another, but it got us thru to the next round and anything could happen...cubs huge favs tho fully rested and all-around just a far superior team in all facets.

there were a ton of blown saves in the playoffs thus far with far more breathing room.. |

getting two outs just isn't that big of a deal. (which is why closer is the most overrated and overpaid job in baseball)

but i did post a long time ago that closers shouldnt be in the same hall of fame as starting pitchers.....kershaw can get saves, but lets see a closer pitch 5-6 scoreless in an elimination game.... so i agree with you about the overrated issue Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-14-2016 at 11:23 AM. |

they are relievers because they couldn't cut it as starters...turning over a lineup 3x consistently is way harder than facing some random 6-7-8...that is why zach britton can't be a CY YOUNG candidate to me.
just found this article today talking about kershaw's playoffs clutchness and how he's a victim of being CLAYTON KERSHAW (spoiler: he's clutch) https://theringer.com/clayton-kersha...610#.28z8dbf8r
