The starter Paxton went 4 innings. He isn't eligible for the Win. Green pitched the 5th. The Yankees were winning. The Yankees never surrendered the lead. Why didn't Green get the win?

Just so weird because with a big lead I thought they would go with the guy that pitched the 5th and call it a day. I guess the scorer said none of you guys did all that much. So we will give it to the guy that pitched two innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think it's hilarious that Paxton pitched 4 innings and he's ineligible, but if the Yankees did the opener with Green again and Paxton did 4 innings he'd be the pretty no-brainer favorite for the win.

I have seen pitchers leave after 4 innings, say with a 4 run lead, and the next pitcher comes in pitches 2 innings, gives up 3 runs and get awarded the win.

It is going to happen more and more now that we are in the era of "openers". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
