"Sitting a guy for a game after a good game does NOT stop the run. It actually lets them live with that good feeling an extra day. If they're truly swinging good and making progress, they'll be the same after a day off."
The NUMBERS might reflect that - I'm too lazy to go back to see how many people pronounced tonight a loss before the first pitch was thrown without Contreras in the lineup. I actually got 4 texts saying that exactly.
There's a reason you play the numbers rather than the "hot hand" - the folks in Vegas and elsewhere aren't going broke anytime soon, and most of them live a *elluva lot better life than most of us do!!! LOL
