Quick question. I just saw that Blade got the win yesterday, but only went, 4.2 innings. I thought starters had to go five to be eligible for the win.

Nope. He would have pitched the majority of the game with a lead. After going 4.2 innings with the lead you can't give the win to someone who goes 4.1.

Before the game, if the coaches let the “game official” know the starter is on a limited pitch count, he can go less than 5 and get the win. Happened earlier this year and I forgot who was pitching.

Blade threw majority of the game. He has to get the win regardless as long as a lead change doesn't happen. It just doesn't go as a quality start.

Has nothing to do with how much of the game he pitched. Pitchers have been pulled earlier this year at 4.0 and the reliever with only two innings pitched was awarded the win due to the starter not having qualified. The trick here is as OT states, and you quoted. The notification to the official scorer of a pitch limit served to qualify less than five innings. Reported at numerous other outlets.

The score matters. A pitcher that throws 4 innings without a lead and the reliever comes in and that team scores for the lead gets the win... the other pitcher gets a No decision. It's not who you tell who should get the win lol.
Blade left throwing majority of the game with a lead that never changed so he got the win.

4 innings also isn't majority game. There's 9 innings and once you hit 4.2 the next highest total is 4.1 so that argument is also busted because 4.2 and 4.1 equal 9 innings.

Im not challenging the first part of your statement. Agreed there. If the starter leaves before qualifying for the win, generally five innings, he doesn’t qualify. The caveat here is he official scorer was notified the starter would be subjected to a pitch count, an the exemption was invoked led to allow him to qualify at his pitch count.

Pitch count doesn't matter! If the pitcher gets to 4.2 with 40 pitches or 100 is irrelevant with a lead.
