2009 MLB Playoffs

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

So this is a surprise, Cliff Lee won't start Game 4 on short rest but will pitch Game 5 and obviously won't be available for Game 7.

Guess that statsnerd Charlie Manuel forgot about pitch counts, letting Lee run it up to 122. Or maybe that was always his plan. If it was his plan to give Lee Games 1 and Games 5...then he's not maximizing Lee.

You obviously are overlooking one key thing. Manual knows his team will sweep at home, so Game 5 will be the last game of the series, thus maximizing Lee. :D

1. Everyone's available on some level for a game 7 World Series

2. Lee's never gone on short rest, from what I heard this morning.

1. I doubt he's going to pitch on 2 days rest, but you're right we might see him for an inning if we see a Game 7.
2. Well now's a good time to start, so having him pitch a meaningless ninth inning doesn't make much sense now.

Game 7 would essentially be his bullpen throw day anyways, so he'd be available for an inning or 2, possibly 3 max.

game 3 of the '69 WS is on mlb network right now.

i must admit i find the suitcoats and ties appealing attire.

Tim McCarver,

If I forget to turn my clock back an hour, I won't be late for tomorrow's games. I'll be early. You're an idiot.

At least baseball has replay on homers so there won't be any controversial calls there.
