Dave probably wishes Carson would go back and play with his potatoes.

Dave visiting your cubicle: ‘a tightrope walker is a terrible image for perseverance. They are notoriously fickle people who refuse to work when it’s windy’
He Hate Me

Sorry, Dave. I don't buy that a position player replacing a pitcher for one AB is worth the same as 4 more ERA over 3 innings.

The Kennebec potato is one of the greats. I'd gladly spend more time with it.
Dave Cameron

You don't have to buy math.
It exists with or without you.
9:54
Not an easy play for Seager there

4 more ERA over 3 IP is 1.3 runs. How can a portion of one PA be worth 1.3 runs?
Dave Cameron
9:55
Peacock isn't throwing 3 more IP
Safety Stegosaurus

Mound vistit for Peacock with two outs?

These Astros at-bats are just an impediment to the interesting part of this game.

I dunno, I'm interested to see if George Springer hits another home run.
Dave from DC

I think there was also a more recent article that shows some of the calculations, but I can't find it right now

Carson "cancel the world series and play it in an excel spreadsheet" Cistulli

At least cancel the half-innings where the team with a five-run lead is batting.

Yeah, I've written a similar post most years

Seems like the run expectancy calculation would depend a lot on the game situation - a pinch hitter with 1 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd is a lot more valuable than a pinch hitter with 2 out and nobody on
Dave Cameron
9:59
Of course
Stuafoo

Now that's how you speed up the game. Are you winning? Well, you don't get to hit next inning.
Carson Cistulli

Manfred? See this?
It's like reverse volleyball. I don't know why, precisely, but that's what my heart says.
Nick R

That would be so ridiculous lol

What's the behavioral economics term for why this is so hard to accept?  Including for me.  Anchoring?  Attentional bias?  Sheer weight of conventional wisdom?
Dave Cameron
10:00
Risk aversion
It seems super risky to take your P to build a bigger lead when you're already winning
Over the Hills

Interested in Carson's position now that it is open.  Plus I have no narrative.  Where do I send resume?
Dave Cameron
10:00
You're putting yourself in a worse spot if it doesn't work
Carson Cistulli
10:01
Cameron, what about a rule change where the winning team isn't allowed to bat in their half-inning?
Jason
10:01
If you could save your outs it could make sense.  You still need 27 outs to win, but change the order so those early leads with no offsensr from the other team would just speed on by

Dave - why does Carson call you Cameron....it's confusing me
Dave Cameron
10:02
He's a confusing dude.
Seth Moko
10:02
Seems like ever since Dave fired Carson, he's just ignoring him. Which is good HR practice actually

Second player putting in eyedrops
Carson Cistulli

I bet Sawchik is on this eyedrops story.
Vottomatic

Calling it now. Kershaw hits a bomb.
Josh

Who's the best hitting pitcher to play in a WS?
Dave Cameron
10:03
Babe Ruth?
