If you think he got a little too amped up after that liner and wasn’t tiring out, I’d let him start the 5th and give him a chance for the win.  Would probably take him out with a walk or any hard contact.

Just so I’m not accused of using hindsight, but no idea why they kept him after that walk.

I dont know he really seems to be getting under the ball.

i think he for sure lost his release point and was not throwing with the same demeanor. you may be right, i just thought it had more to do with the balls at his head. either way he looked fantastic.

Steve Stone is saying it a full inning ago and it was plain to see...Dunning was tired and shouldn’t have even gone out for that inning. Bad coaching. No idea how they didn’t see it

Im ok with him going out to start the inning.  But he shouldve been pulled after the first guy reached base

No way you let him face the top of the order for a third time. That was a perfect example of a manager trying to get a player the win and not the team

a part of PD is giving a guy a chance to get there. i know you don't think so, and you think every MLB decision is made solely about winning every single match-up and batter but it's just not true.

i also think a part of PD is getting a guy out of there feeling good abotu himself too, so this was a two way street. I can see both sides of this one.

Stone kept pounding the table for "Dunning is getting tired" and again it felt like it was not only obvious but it felt like it was taking shots at Renteria for not seeing it

Here's the dilemma though. How do you increase his stamina and pitch count without pushing him into fatigue. If they continue to take him out when he starts to get tired, they'll never increase the endurance.

Short sighted for the good of the team and short sighted for Dunning’s well being really. He didn’t need to be laboring through a strenuous inning his 1st start back in well over a year.

yeah, and how do you get him used to a 3rd time thru, or see how his stuff plays a third time thru with some fatigue without trying it. 

People on here make decisions based on maximizing every run and win; it's just not how managers or teams manage games.

I’m totally fine with seeing if the kid could get it back.

Just coming out to start the 5th was seeing if he could get it back (and I'm fine with that part too).

He proceeded to give up a hit, a 104MPH screamer that should have been a hit, and then a walk.

RR hung him out to dry
