In a day and age in which managers dare not even use their best relief pitchers in relief situations while on the road because, oh heavens, that would be INSANE, it?s not likely anyone is going to go super radical with the staff to start a game.
But Dave Cameron has a pretty wild suggestion for teams facing the one-game wild card play-in: start with the back end of the bullpen ? your team?s best pitchers on a batter-per-batter basis ? and work backwards. ?Ensure that the opposition doesn?t score early and then see where you are from there.
It?s an interesting idea. Fun, in fact. Even though (a) it creates late inning problems, as the manager would have to decide which starter would close the game, which tends to unnerve people; and (b) I can?t feature any manager in the game today having the stones to try it because if it blows up it?s gonna be a HUGE story.
But again, fun to think about.
