One more from Urias, Dayton the. Jansen

Dave Cameron

11:00

They pinch hit for Urias

Don Mattingly

11:00

I hope someone takes a screenshot of the Uber surge multiplier

5 Run Homer

11:01

Dusty's toothpick has gotta be the best managerial accessory, right?

TOOTBLAN

11:01

Using a half dozen relievers in an inning the new market inefficiency?

HappyFunBall

11:01

Turner looks like an extra from a Peter Jackson movie

Pat

11:01

Turner is awful against LH, why not leave him in?

Dave Cameron

11:02

No reason to think that reverse platoon split is real.

11:03

transit systems have very high fixed costs but very low operating costs. any transit agency that shuts down a system an hour before 50,000 people are about to use it to leave a ballgame is incompetent.

Dave Cameron

11:03

Well, I'm guessing the workers are unionized, so it might not be so easy to make them work.

Well, Actually...

11:04

He has over 600 PA this season, is that really too small a sample size for the reverse splits?

HappyFunBall

11:04

DC's Metro is in the middle of a horrendous maintenance overhaul, and closes early every night. No exceptions.

@FlippedBats

11:05

there goes the game

Mike

11:05

THE RED DREAM

Michelle

11:05

Welp.

Chuckb

11:05

Huge!

Dodgers Fan

11:05

YES

Sad Melancon

11:05

All this while Melancon rots in the pen.

Dave Cameron

11:05

Kelley is just as good as Melancon.

Craig Edwards

11:06

I think it's closer to 1,000 from that side before you get some confidence. A lot of things happened while I was typing this.

Gavin

11:06

As a dodgers fan GOD YES. But we still have to get through the seventh inning

@FlippedBats

11:06

kelley is hurt

ChatzMcGee

11:07

Pitcher's arms are a sad story. :(

5 Run Homer

11:07

Aw man

Cale

11:07

Man, seeing a pitcher exit after that is a terrible sight.

Craig Edwards

11:08

At least Turner is a better hitter than Pete Kozma.

Can't Buy Me Love

11:08

dusty rushed the warmup on a double tommy john guy.

Dave Cameron

11:08

Can't possibly know if they are related.

Nodog

11:09

What else can we blame on Dusty Baker?

Dave Cameron

11:09

The metro, probably

hurricanexyz

Turner had a reverse split back when he was with the Mets. it's a pretty significant split over his whole career (774 PA vs. LHP).

Dave Cameron

11:09

Not a large enough sample.

Seriously, there's basically no RH hitter in baseball history with a sustained reverse platoon split.

libre

11:10

If the best predictor of future injury is past injury, how can we say that it's not related?

Dave Cameron

11:10

You have no idea how warm Kelley was

ncb

11:11

Would still take Dusty Baker over Matt Williams.

Dave Cameron

11:11

Of course.

The Nationals like Dusty. They hated Williams.

Piling on Dusty for this is simply narrative over facts. Ruiz's ball was a few inches from being a double play.
