During the liveblog for Game 4 of the World Series yesterday, we discussed whether CC Sabathia should have started the game on short rest. In The Book there was a study about effectiveness for different rest periods, and the results seemed to be about a 17 point increase in wOBA ...

Tonight, in the first elimination game of the
2009 World Series, the Yankees will send A.J. Burnett...
to the mound on just three day’s rest. The tactic makes sense. The alternative is Chad Gaudin, who hasn’t started a game since late ...

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. There’s an excerpt below; click through for the full version. ...

... If memory serves, Tango et al wrote about this in The Book. Unfortunately, I don't have it right here, but Daniel Moroz at MLB Notebook cites it and says that pitchers allow about a half a run more on short rest. ...

Yankees Getting Closer to 3-man Series Rotation
mlb.fanhouse.com 10/31/2009 — by Ed Price PHILADELPHIA -- Not only will CC Sabathia come back on short rest for Game 4 of the World Series, but the Yankees seem to be leaning toward using A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte on short rest as well.
That would give the Yankees a ...
Three starters or four?
yankees.lhblogs.com 10/27/2009 — One of the big questions for Joe Girardi tomorrow – and one which he may not answer – is how many starters the Yankees will use in the World Series. In the ALCS, the schedule had an extra off-day (between Games 4 and 5) that allowed the ...
Rosenthal: Starting Gaudin Isn't A Bad Idea
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/31/2009 — Ken Rosenthal had another interesting article this morning, this time about whether CC Sabathia or Chad Gaudin should start game 4. If the Yankees lose game 3 he says that CC starts, end of story. I agree. But if the Yankees win game 3 he argues that starting Gaudin wouldn't be a bad idea. He ...
Game Six Is The Key
yankeesredsox.com 10/23/2009 — I fully expect the Yankees to get to the World Series this weekend. There I said it, but when you have Andy Pettitte and C.C. Sabathia both ready to go on full rest, at home and you only need 1 win, I don't think I am taking a making waves. But, the timing of victory is very ...
The Most Important Game
nybaseballdigest.com 10/28/2009 — Blogniks and the more hyperbolic writers out there have been writing since roughly about 6½ seconds after the Yankees won the AL pennant, that the Yankees Must Win Game 1! It’s the most important game!!! A Must Win!!
I disagree. I believe the most important game has already been played. It ...
Girardi: Burnett will pitch Game 5
zellspinstripeblog.com 11/1/2009 — Joe Girardi just announced that AJ Burnett will take the hill in Game 5 of the World Series. So, regardless of the situation..it looks like that will happen.
That takes out all talks of Chad Gaudin starting tomorrow night’s game. Some are worried that this isn’t a good idea ...
Yankees to Go with 3 Man Rotation

Manager Joe Girardi said that, most likely, the Yankees will
use a three-man rotation for the American League Championship Series: CC
Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Andy Pettitte. Joba Chamberlain will remain in the
bullpen and, if Girardi changes his mind, Chad Gaudin will be the likely ...

Who's Got the Secret Sauce?
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/15/2009 — A while back the geniuses at Baseball Prospectus figured out that the three keys to postseason success are having three or four strikeout starters, a strong back end of the bullpen, and a good defense (buy their book Baseball Between the Numbers if you haven't!). Even if you're not a stat guy, ...
The Rotation so far
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/20/2009 — When Joe Girardi and the Yankees announced that they were going to use a 3 man rotation my mind ran wild for a few seconds. The Yankees by going with a 3 man rotation were admitting they don't have a 4th or 5th starter and that CC would be the horse going on short rest. After my case of "wild ...
