    it does for me, rather not use him three straight games. He is more likely to be sharp if rested after two straight and then you have him for game four.

    Winkler's pitched the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th and tonight this month, not sure where you're seeing hes gone 3 in a row.

    He hasn't gone three straight, he only pitched once vs the Brewers.

    Everyone but Sobotka figures to be ok for Tuesday.

    Winkler didn't pitch Sunday too. This is his first since Saturday.

    Edit: Given that Newcomb sucked, it might have seemed like he did, but he didn't. It was Jackson for 2, Venters, Brach, Minter.

    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I already know your view from game one, it's not the best plan though as enscheff noted: http://www.chopcountry.com/forums/sh...884#post527884.

    After watching these commercials with Chip Caray in them I'm fully convinced he actually is on cocaine.

    I thought someone said he pitched sunday but you're right I double checked. In that case I agree with having him available tomorrow. I still didn't like not using Allard today though as I don't want him in a close game tomorrow.

    I actually think widening his stance and starting with his hands back higher would do wonders for him. He doesn't generate a ton of bat speed, and he struggles to make contact because he can't generate that speed.
