Rays are running out of outs. And yes, I still think Urias finishes this game.

Analytics is about probabilities and putting players in the best position to succeed. But there is still a human element to it - these guys are people who will sometimes exceed or not meet their true talent level, depending on the moment.

Julio “3 Inning closer” Urías is my new best friend
CJ

Urias has a lot of postseason experience for his age

The one thing that Smoltz has said that I think is interesting is that he thinks you can teach pitchers to pitch third time through the order. Even Smoltz had a TTO penalty, not that large, .632/.642/.680 OPS 1st/2nd/3rd. But does anyone think this is something you can teach, rather that just an issue of familiarity and pitching reperatoire?
Paul Sporer

I think you could work on pacing and deepening an arsenal, but ya familiarity is going to carry the day most of the time. Especially since teams don't tell pitchers to pace themselves. They want full bore for whatever they can give as opposed to pacing themselves to shoot for 6-7 IP regularly

Baseball gods making sure the new 3b gets a try

mostly rooting for the Dodgers but legitimately kinda upset at how this game has gone, not to mention the insufferable discourse to follow...

Thank you David, to you and the other FG moderators, for keeping the politics out of the chat.  Sports is an escape and that stuff has no place here.

Snell has been brutal this season 2nd and 3rd TTO this season
Paul Sporer
11:13
Did Snell look at all like he had in the reg season? No. So why judge things off his reg. season?

Smoltz also didn't have the counter-intelligence to deal with that modern pitchers face
Paul Sporer

People complaining about politics getting into the chat has been in the chat more than any actual politics

Dang, Julio for the ninth?
CJ
11:14
3 outs left!
Dodger Fan

ONE MORE INNING
Dave

Snell often looked like he was cruising in the regular season, and then he blew up
CJ
11:14
Treinen
To be named later
11:14
Urías has to go out for the 9th

Urias >> Jansen

we deserve Kershaw here

Nothing like this. I watched every start he made, but keep trying to justify it I guess lol

Urias starts inning, Treinan if anyone gets on?

Everyone is focused on pitching plans but the non-Randy offense will be the reason the Rays lose ultimately
Fangraph's Lurker
11:16
Randy can only do so much with no one base*
Roach
11:16
It's Margot, Wendle and Adames, with only Brosseau and Tsutsugo left in the bench.

I think Treinen might be a smarter call.
Derek
11:16
Should be Treinen, likely will be Urias, at least to start
Lzfreak
11:16
Does Urias have bird shit on the bill of his cap?
Adam
11:16
I voted based on who I think Roberts will go with (Urias) not who I would go with (Treinen)
Capt obvious
11:16
Should be Urias, will be Treinen
Smiling Politely
11:16
Yeah, feels wrong to blame the pitching for losing a 2-1 game if it ends that way
Lzfreak
11:17
Nick Anderson probably feels terrible
Sonny

The Rays clearly told their starters this season to empty the tank you’re never seeing a guy 3x. Whether that’s something they continue is a different conversation
Paul Sporer
11:17
Baseball has essentially told all pitchers that, tbh
Tony Wolfe
11:17
The life of a reliever, man. You can be on top of the world for the whole regular season, and if you lose it for two weeks in October, you're a pariah

Similar with kickers
