So yeah

David

10:13

Can't ban Hannah until the beginning of next season.

Kates

10:14

with Kershaw looking sharp, that's the question Roberts will get - Why not start Kershaw if he was available for multiple innings?

Dave Cameron

10:14

The answer is easy: "Yu Darvish is a good pitcher."

Should the Astros have benched Altuve? He's been bad this series too.

Carson Cistulli

10:15

What are the consequences of the Kershaw narrative? For Kershaw, I mean. He won't make less money because of it. The Dodgers clearly trust him still. He's almost a Hall of Famer right now.

SubmarineSailor

10:15

I mean, they traded for Darvish for a reason...

RyanW

10:15

And kershaws on short rest pitching history isn't exactly pristine. Such post hoc logic

ChatzMcGee

10:16

Feels like Dodgers have to do something this inning.

Hannah Hochevar

10:16

You don't think it bothers Kersh to hear it all the time?

Mike

10:16

the argument isn't that darvish's been bad. The argument is from the Only Rule which is to just go in order of your best pitchers so that you can get the most out of them and the least possible out of the less good guys so just Kershaw Jansen then darvish and then whoever the hell else comes after that

Dave Cameron

10:16

You have to factor rest into goodness

Carson Cistulli

10:17

I don't *know*, of course, Hannah. I'd guess it probably just bothers him that he hasn't pitched well in the postseason. Not that people *notice* he hasn't pitched well.

Also, you're banned!

Josh

10:17

Is it proven that pitchers are historically worse on short rest in the post-season?

Dave Cameron

10:17

Yup.

NtflxnRichHill

10:18

Carson, stop flirting with Hannah.

Anonymous

10:18

Carson, start flirting with me

Hough Stone

10:19

Uh, that's not what was posted on your site today

Dave Cameron

10:19

Jeff's post was about SPs pitching in relief on short rest

Not about starting

Is a slider a sandwich?

10:19

How much money can I make doing product placement of potato varieties in chatrooms?

Carson Cistulli

10:20

You don't do it for money. You do it because you love the potato.

JJB

10:20

As an actuary, I feel qualified to weigh in. I'd say risk aversion.

Dave Cameron

10:20

You're hired.

Carson Cistulli

10:20

Dave, that's confirmation bias.

John

10:20

Seager went

Morton Salt Girl

10:20

Seager went

Safety Stegosaurus

10:20

Will we still see Keuchel?

Dave Cameron

10:21

For sure.

Jason

10:21

Time for Turner to get hit again.

brian eno

10:21

as an estuary, it's clearly anchoring

Seth Moko

10:21

So wait - to get hired you just say you agree with the boss? That is NOT great HR practice

Raindog

10:21

As a meteorologist, I'd say wind resistance

Peter

10:21

Seager went but whatever, let's keep things interesting!

ben

10:21

Apparently the Kennebec has a "noticeably nutty" flavor.

The Hamburglar

10:21

As a psychologist, I'd say your mother

gerrylikegary

10:21

Hit Turner. Strike out bellinger. Easy.

Carson Cistulli

10:21

"Hella nutty," is how I'd characterize it.

NtflxnRichHill

10:21

As a mortuary, I'd say we've killed it now
