2016 NLDS: Washington Nationals (2) Vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (3) - Series Discussion

[The Night King]

**** yeah!!! Kershaw!! So happy for him!

 

[Fish on The Sand]

I assume Jansen gets the win for this?

 

[darko]

2 wins and a save in 5 game series.

 

[EpochLink]

Kershaw did it!

 

[Del Preston]

I assume Jansen gets the win for this?

No he got a hold. Urias wins.

Hold.

They were ahead when he came in.

 

[Tecumseh]

Wouldn't Dayton get the win then?

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

YES!!! Good riddance Washington.

 

[Del Preston]

Jansen looks like a younger Prince Fielder.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Hold.

They were ahead when he came in.

That doesn't matter when the starter fails to go 5 though. It goes to the reliever judged to have done the best job I'm pretty sure.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

It was I who said Dusty Baker will never win.

Love Kershaw coming in. Bodes well for Cubs. Dodgers going to need ALL the help they can get.

 

[darko]

Wouldn't Dayton get the win then?

No Urias pitched the 6th and Dodgers scored 4 top of the 7th.

Dayton was in line for a hold but didn't record an out.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I don't think the Dodgers stand a chance against the Cubs, but this was worth it.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Nats really need some offensive help. Just way too many holes in that lineup.

Not how it works.

Win goes to the RP that was in when his team got the lead (after 5 off course)

That's what it's supposed to be but it's never scored like that. It always goes to the pitcher who was in before the team took the lead.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

According to the rulebook the win could have gone to any Dodgers pitcher except Hill (didn't go 5) and Kershaw (earned the save). I guess they decided it was easiest to give it to Urias.

I know but it's not how they do it.

Yup.

Like when a closer blows the save but his team walksit off in the bottom of the inning, that closer will get credited with a W.

 

[c9777666]

The Dodgers made a deal with the Devil after the All-Star break. How else do you explain what happened after Kershaw went down in June and the Giants blew the NL West?

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Yup.

Like when a closer blows the save but his team walksit off in the bottom of the inning, that closer will get credited with a W.

That's not the same thing at all. That's a win by definition. When a starting pitcher doesn't last 5 innings the win is awarded in a discretionary manner. An example would be how Bumgarner was originally awarded the win for game 7 of the world series 2 years ago despite coming in with a lead. The only reason it was changed was because he finished the game and was awarded a save by definition so he was not eligible for the win.

woooooow what a great series, taxing to watch 5 games of anxiety

 

[USC Trojans]

bring on the Cubs!

 

[BMOK33]

This is brutal for the Nats, they had everything go right for them this year minus Strasburg getting hurt, and everything possible go wrong for the Mets and they still don't get out of round 1. If the Mets rotation is healthy next year the Nats may not even make the playoffs.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Roberts says Kershaw told him he was ready to back up Jansen when they were in the 8th. Basically talked him into letting him pitch. Madman.
