Short rest

Riding CC so hard in games that had the outcome decided is rearing it's ugly head.

Buster Olney posted in his blog yesterday that scouts are saying Sabathia looks tired, he's dropping his arm angle and has relied on his change-up more the last couple games than he had previously.

So the alternative to short rest would be Suppan and McClung?

I'm not saying I like this 3 days rest stuff, but I'm sure Sveum doesn't either. This is NOT clear cut. The alternatives suck, and we do not know all that there is with Soup.

And from the sound of things, it looks like Gallardo won't be seeing the mound to start games, but we'll see him a couple innings in the next 5 games out of the pen. Is this really something to cry about?

As always, good stuff Radio.

Couldn't Bush be used Sunday to keep him on normal rest or is Sheets for sure not going to start?
