i haven't done the math, but it seems every time I peek at a box score, the Rays' pitch counts are always way way above those of the Dodgers

5 Run Homer

How is Rob Lowe always on my tv during sports games

Dan Szymborski

10:24

You say that like it's a bad thing

Marnie

@Vacuum, I think it would all be equal, because a hit baseball would likely fly forever in you

Dustin May has had a not-great postseason, but there's no questioning the talent. That said, I can see the result of this outing impacting his psyche more than a little.

Do you think they are taking kershaw out too early?

David Laurila

10:30

Dave Roberts wished he had the Rays' relievers.

Ford Prefect

10:30

I think that's the exact right call on Kershaw.

Smiling Politely

10:31

I *almost* want to see the bullpen blow it just so Roberts can throw a bat at the internet and scream, "Are you not entertained?"

Lzfreak

10:31

I'd have left him in to face Margot at least

Hugh Duffy

It's better to pull a starting pitcher too early, before he has a chance to lose the game, than too late. Bobby Cox taught me that.

Dan Szymborski

10:31

Well, I assume Dustin May definitely isn't starting tomorrow

10:32

errr the day after

weezy

10:32

I feel like the Dodgers must know something about pitch counts hitting ~85 pitches, this seems to be a trend

10:35

I would also love to see some of the math/analysis behind May's usage this postseason. It's been hard for me to understand

Dodger Fan

This McDonald's commercial does not feature Shane McClanahan as a meal option.

Smiling Politely

10:35

We're assuming May comes back out. But maybe he doesn't? (was thinking of your comment, Dan)

Jim

10:35

If Dave Roberts had the Rays relievers, he'd use all of them every single game

Eel Ffilc

10:35

Seemed more about batters faced than pitches if you want to take Rosenthal's word

Vacuum

10:35

...@Marnie, that was a “hitting the golf ball forever down a paved road in relation to your forever hit baseball” joke.

Cam

10:36

Bottom line is - who has the best chance to get the next guy out, Kershaw or May? If anyone thinks it's May, they need their head checked. Fresh guy, struggling..versus in the zone guy cruising.

Camping World sounds like hell.

Time to put a little more pressure on my back with another beer, zombie dust pale ale from 3 floyds

Dan Szymborski

The only good thing about my sore back is that it gets me out of camping. I'm very happy for my girlfriend to go camping with her camping friends without me!

Lzfreak

10:37

Camping is awesome!

Dan Szymborski

10:37

Banned!

Jim

10:37

IPAs are disgusting and should be banned

Dan Szymborski

10:37

Also banned!

Steve Nebraska

10:39

Oh boy, banning people for enjoying camping, this chat is going to get small

David Laurila

10:39

We only ban people who are camping at the bit.

Jim

10:40

Is this how FanGraphs becomes a fascist state

Dan Szymborski

10:40

I didn't really ban anyone!

10:40

She bought the old " sore back" excuse?

Dan Szymborski

10:40

Having surgery to get out of camping would be a great scheme!

Jim

10:41

All talk, and no action. Typical politician, Dan!

Dan Szymborski

10:41

Can't say I didn't warn you.

Ffej Navillus does sound like a Jedi.
