The Astros' cheating has caused irreparable damage to the legacies of Clayton Kershaw, Yu Darvish and Kenley Jansen. Column by dylanohernandez
What lessons need to be learned by high school athletes after Astros’ scandal?
Instead, the Game 5 loss became further evidence the greatest pitcher of his generation was psychologically predisposed to falter in the postseason. The thought entered Kershaw’s mind, at least to some degree. After his failed relief appearance contributed to the Dodgers’ elimination from the playoffs in 2019, Kershaw conceded, “Everything people say is true right now about the postseason.”Jansen is the franchise’s all-time saves leader, but the majority of fans have missed a significant percentage of his regular-season heroics because of the Dodgers’ citywide television blackout.
If Jansen had recorded the final out of the 2017 World Series, the moment would have made him one of the most beloved relievers, if not the most beloved, in franchise history. Instead, he was subjected to boos last season when his abilities declined.The Japanese right-hander was defined almost entirely in this country by his performance in the 2017 World Series. He registered only five outs in a Game 3 loss at Minute Maid Park. He did the same in the Game 7 defeat at Dodger Stadium.
From the outside, what happened appeared to be clear: Darvish withered under the bright lights. The perception of him being a soft player followed him to Chicago. In a miserable injury-plagued first season with the Cubs, team management questioned whether he was really hurt.
