Would you consider throwing LMJ on full rest tomorrow and waiting for Johnny Wholestaff on Wednesday if we need it?


I am very 50-50 on this.

If LMJ pitches tomorrow or Wednesday, his first game in the ALCS wouldn't be until Game 3 next Monday either way (ALCS games 1 and 2 are Friday/Saturday, with day off Sunday).

If you can win tomorrow with a combo of Urquidy/Frambaw/whomever, then you can use Lance in Game 1, then maybe twice again if needed. Big advantage.

But if they decide to roll with Lance in Game 4, I will ride with that also I suppose...that gives you LMJ on regular rest and Frambaw also on regular rest Wednesday if you need him.

I really think you can argue either way. I don't think either option is terrible. I expect FODB to find a way to frick it up.

I think either scenario works, but if I were manager (wish I was), I would do Urquidy/Frambaw/whatever combo. I have faith in Urquidy shutting down Chicago and going deep. If that happens and we win, you have Lance in game 1. That would be the most ideal IMO. Like everyone says though, FODB will frick it up.
