Dystopian Future, my literal own father came into the comments of one of my articles recently trying to argue this.

Sanchez through 6 (let alone with a no-hitter) must feel like a dream come true for Davey Martinez
Ben Clemens
10:06
Davey must be overjoyed.
This is everything he could have hoped for and more from Sanchez

What happensnif an ump determines you didn't try to get out of the way of a pitch? Out?
Ben Clemens
10:06
They just leave whatever the call would have been.
10:07
So if it's out of the zone, ball, in the zone strike.

Sanchez only at 75.  He get the 7th?
Ben Kaspick
10:07
It would be playing with fire with Goldschmidt due up first

Was your dad trolling you?
Ben Clemens
10:08
I don't think so. People just believe in clutch
Nico Robin
10:09
would any of their relievers be much better
Ben Clemens
10:09
I'd bring in Rainey, but I don't think Davey will, and I don't think it's all that wrong not to.
The pitch count helps a lot.

Has anyone ever tried to separate out third time through the order effects vs loss of effectiveness via pitchcount, or pitches the specific batter sees in the earlier ABs?
Ben Clemens
10:10
So, yes. The Book tried to approximate this, and it was one of the earliest attempts at documenting the TTO penalty.
10:11
They found no overall effect from pitch count, but that for individual batters, seeing more pitches in your first at-bat helped.
Actually I think there might be a good Tango blog about this.
One second friends.
MGL, close enough.

Nats radio says Rainey made a couple tosses and sat back down. Quiet pen.
Zeke

Sanchez has OPS against of .889 this year after 75 p...in 6’s before
Ben Clemens
10:13
So, these effects don't come close to being reliable in a year of data.
10:14
But, he's been bad third time through his whole career, and also all pitchers are.
Zeke
10:15
Well, I’d argue career splits don’t matter as much as he’s not the same guy at 35 as he was in prime
Ben Clemens
10:15
Yeah, but if that's the case, then you should just look at the league average.
Which is.... wlel, it's bad. I'd pull him.

Speaking of late-inning bullpen decisions, how could Dave Roberts leave Kelly in even *after* the grand slam?
Ben Clemens
10:17
He was booking some offseason travel plans.
And then realized that the game wasn't *officially* over.
cat's paw
10:17
Do you feel better about Sanchez for another inning with a bigger lead or does that not come in to play.
Mo money, Molina
10:18
what a crazy bunt attempt by soto
Ben Kaspick
10:18
I think it could come into play. Could allow you to let him keep pitching until he gives up a baserunner.
Ben Clemens
10:18
Juan Soto has now attempted two bunts?
Adam2
10:19
Very pessimistic!
Brian1
10:19
That was the Cardinals 4th IBB this postseason. Is that the right play there when you have teams like the Astros abandoning the intentional pass?
Ben Clemens
10:19
Uh.... basically no, it's not hte right play? I think they're often okay in picking their spots, but I didn't love this one to Rendon.
NL isn't completely the same, they walk 8th hitters and so on.
But generally, don't walk people!
