Wed-Thur-Sat-Sun-Tues is the first round schedule, for both NLDS. Whoever goes Wednesday can come back Sunday in Game 4, on short rest...but the guy that pitches game 2 can go on normal rest in Game 5.
In other words, if they go with Santana on short rest Saturday and it works, and they make it in - they can have Santana pitching two games in a five game series (both on normal rest if he pitches Game 2), and Pelfrey/Ollie splitting the other three. I'll take my chances with that formula...
Now, with that being said...****ING GET TO THE PLAYOFFS, DAMNIT! |
Except that not only will they have to go with three guys and pitch them on short rest, they'll have to hope that these guys can pitch complete games each time out.
