Bullpen logged a lot of innings last two days and no off day tomorrow so Rays may be calling this one a lost cause and having Yarbrough just eat it today.

there's a fun discussion we should have on how the "smart teams" like the brewers have started to shift away from the "smrt baseball twitter" preference of throwing best pitcher at high leverage situation and toward ensuring closing higher certainty winning outcomes that mimic a lot more traditional bullpen roles of closer, etc.

this series has been pretty damn encouraging, even if we completely blow this game. tampa has the best record in baseball and we will likely take the series and made them look outclassed more than the other way around, even while trotting out a lineup that is uncomfortably Knights-like

Well now we know had we just given the knights some pitching we could have gotten them a championship.

Yeah, with analytics being as advanced as they are, teams ought to be able to calculate how much they improve today's win probability by using one of their best relievers, and also how much the decrease tomorrow's win probability by not having him available.

Our starting pitching is better than their's...Lance didn't have his best stuff or else we'd be looking at a chance to sweep them today.
