Time For A Wake?

Continue the Wakefield discussion that was going on here. The topic was deleted.

Anyway, my last post was regarding my hesitation to accept the theory that sandwiching wake in between Schilling and Pedro was a good enough way to throw the opposing team off balance.

 

Putting Pedro and Schlling 1-2, so the opposing team (in the playoffs) would have a tough time winning either of the first two games, would ruffle their feathers more than putting wake in between I think.

as jerry remy always says major league hitters dont care about whop pitched the night before and who pitches tomorrow.

 

I think asd someone said iof wake is on, he's good , if he's off, well, it aint good.

 

I think he's been off more than on, unfortunately.

 

where he pitches in the rotation isnt the problem, its the fact the pitches in the rotation that is the problem.

I doubt this Wake in between Shill and Pedro will go into the post season I think that would jsut be stupid.

I agree with you guys. The reason I'd throw Pedro and Schilling 1-2 in the playoffs too is so they have the opportunity to come back later in the series. In a 5 game set, you have your 1-2, day off, 3-4, day off, and in game # 5 BOTH your 1 and 2 guys can pitch in game 5.

 

In a 7 game series though, your #3 man would line up and start game 7 (if there is one). This depends (of course) on how a 5 game series goes, and how much rest your big guns get before game 1. Ideally, you'd want Pedro/Schilling to each get 2 starts in a 7 game series, which means you'd want both of them in your top 3.

 

I still have faith in Wake, and wouldn't be upset if Terry gave him the ball in the playoffs... But we can't forget who got us this far in the rotation (Pedro and Schilling). Give them the ball as much as possible.
