BF_in_Indiana Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 That doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart......... We win tomorrow night and it's one game for all the marbles. Clemens will have to pitch the game of his life to beat us in St. Louis in a game 7.

The odds are better with a 4-day rested Clemens.

They don't get a second chance.

Greg de'Ville Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 BF, in all seriousness, what's happened to those Redbird bats? One hit last night? I know they had a similar meltdown against Lima in the Dodger series but they can't afford any more lumber slumber.
SilverNRed Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I guess they know how well each pitcher does on 3 days rest versus 4 days rest. That extra day must be huge. 76670[/snapback] Sportscenter did a piece a week ago on how teams do in the playoffs when sending pitchers on short rest. It has worked out something like 10 out of the last 50 times. It's a big deal when it works - John Lackey in Game 7 in the 2002 World Series, Josh Beckett in Game 6 of last year's World Series - but it is a LOW percentage move. Starting Munro is the smart move. Let Clemens have his extra day and the Astros can still have Oswalt pitch in relief come Game 7.
BF_in_Indiana Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 Starting guys on 3 days rest usually doesn't pay off, we'll see how it pans out though. At least I'm not a Yankees fan right now, what an embarrassment.
BillnutinHouston Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I'm shaking over Morris pitching tonight for the Cards. BF, you talk a lot of IF's. If the Cardinals win, If this and IF that. It's really not that impressive. BTW, IF the Bills win all the rest of their games they'll win the SB. Sounds great doesn't it?
