re: So are we throwing Holman against Texas?

It somewhat bothers me that Holman’s last pitch was around 2:45 on Saturday. If he pitches on Friday at 7PM, he would begin warming around 5:45, which is over 6 days (147 hours), but only 5 days of rest for baseball.

He got 5 days “off” (Sunday - Thursday), but 6 days of “rest”. Ok, rant over.

You can put formulas and equations in all you want. You can even "prove" that he does in fact have 144 hours (6 days) of rest between his last pitch and the first pitch he would throw in the next game. But in baseball terms, if he pitched on a Saturday and then the following Friday, he had 5 days rest.
