If the one-game playoff would be on a Monday (most likely) I don't see where that lines up Clemens for it. In fact, it looks like it sets up Wandy for the start.


I guess I should have worded it better. I was referring to Garner's decision to hold Roger back a day and not pitch him on normal rest in tonight's game. If Garner had decided to stay on normal rest, like he did for Andy and Roy, then Roger would have been pitching on that 5th to last day of the season and thus be ready to go on normal rest in the 1-game playoff.

But since the odds of that are so low, Garner went ahead with a plan to give Roger an extra day of rest in 3 of his final 6 starts.
