Happy, positive AJM? I'm not sure I can handle that

THE RANGERS ARE FULL OF UNBELIEVEABLE SUCK GIVE UP NOW IT DOES NOT MATTER GOOD BYE.

Is my math bad?

How does this schedule allow for 4 days rest between Games 1 and 4? I think Adam has it wrong.

This is from MLB’s website. Has it changed?

I think you're info was stale

I used your link, and it shows the 2010 ALDS series as follows:

6th, 7h, 9th, 10th and 12th

for both series. you need a 4 man rotation.

were you looking at 2009?

send me another link if you have something else, but this looks to be definite.

now, if you wanted

to still use a 3 man rotation, your GAME 2 starter would have normal rest before GAME 5 because there is an off day before Game 3 and AFTER GAME 4. So only 1 of your guys would pitch on 3 days rest. But that is a mistake. Tommy Hunter on 4 days is better than Lee on 3 day.

Again, if I am looking at the wrong thing, I have no problem being corrected. I would love to be wrong and I often am.

On Jamey's point on CJ

(Data from Fangraphs)

2009 CJ
Pitches thrown: 1299
Batters faced: 323
Pitch/batter: 4.02

2010 CJ
Pitches thrown: 2880
Batters faced: 707
Pitch/batter: 4.07

However, pitches per inning:
2009: 17.74
2010: 16.82

because…
Batters faced per inning
2009: 4.46
2010: 4.13

CJ has not improved his efficiency in terms of pitches/batter, but has on average thrown fewer pitches per inning because he is facing fewer hitters per inning.

We need to be careful
