Three Days of Rest May Hurt Yankees Still
nybaseballdigest.com 11/2/2009 — Last night’s win was monumental for the Yankees, and not simply because it puts them a single victory away from a World Series title.
More to the point, the upcoming pitching matchups are problematic for New York, as Joe Girardi’s decision to go with just three starters means ...
Short stuff
yankees.lhblogs.com 11/3/2009 — It is certainly easy enough to kill Joe Girardi for going with A.J. Burnett on short rest last night, and there are plenty of people already criticizing him for (likely) going to Andy Pettitte on short rest in Game 6. I just don’t happen to be ...
The workout story: Yanks confident behind Pettitte in Game 6
yankees.lhblogs.com 11/3/2009 — The Yankees are on the field, loosening for one or two more games at Yankee Stadium. They’re all here, and all say they are emboldened by taking the field tomorrow night behind Andy Pettitte — even on short rest.

Ultimate Gamble: Pitch Rivera for 3 Innings
nybaseballdigest.com 11/3/2009 — So Andy Pettitte will be pitching on short rest tomorrow for Game 6. Knowing that he hasn’t done it since 2006 doesn’t guarantee that we will see the version of Pettitte that has provided quality starts in three of his four postseason appearances. The Yankees bullpen, surprisingly, ...

Yankees Rotation On Short Rest —
Camden Crazies
During the liveblog for Game 4 of the World Series yesterday, we discussed whether CC Sabathia should have started the game on short rest or if the Yankees should have let Chad Gaudin start and pushed CC back to Game 5 to pitch on normal rest. I took a look at the issue over at MLB Notebook . ...
Gaudin Should Be Starting Game 5 —
High and Tight.
Fact: AJ Burnett is much better at home. Fact: Cliff Lee is pitching tonight and if the Yankkees can't muster anything against him, you waste Burnett. Fact: Burnett would be on regular rest in Game 6. Fact: This forces Pettitte to pitch on short rest. I think Girardi is overplaying his hand ...

Yanks Take 2-1 Series Lead, Turn to CC on Short Rest —
The Big Lead
Thanks in part to some lazy Yankee defense early on in Game 3 of the World Series, all signs pointed to a messy blowout and an early exit for Andy Pettitte, who threw 40 pitches in the first two innings.
But Andy settled down nicely while the Yankee bats, including his own (!), finally ...

Girardi: CC Sabathia will pitch Game 4 —
Zell's Pinstripe Blog
Girardi just announced that CC Sabathia will start Game 4 tomorrow night. I think this is a good idea. You don’t want Chad Gaudin to start, as he has thrown to what…three hitters in the span of the last month? Sabathia has obviously proven that he can go on short rest, and he has ...

I don’t know when it became uncouth for a team to throw their starters on short rest in the playoffs, but everyone and their mother feels compelled to write an article about how the Yankees should start Chad Gaudin to make sure CC Sabathia , AJ Burnett, and Andy Pettitte can finish the ...
