Updated pitcher starts
The word is Baker is skipping Clement at least for the next start and going with Rusch...Interesting!!! Clement has struggled since the break while Rusch has pitched well in moderate action. Here would be the updated pitcher starts if Baker goes that way the rest of the season.
@Pirates(3) - Wood, Zambrano, Maddux
@Mets(3) - Rusch, Prior, Wood
Cincy (4) - Zambrano, Maddux, Rusch, Prior
Braves(3) - Wood, Zambrano, Maddux
Unfortunately this leaves Rusch as the starter if we play a tie-breaker, I do not like this, Baker had the luxury with the doubleheaders to tweak his rotation accordingly and it seems short-sighted to not think that far in the future. But a combo Clement/Rusch for a tie-breaker game would not make me happy, especially if it's the Giants as Clement has struggled most of his career against them. Let's hope it's a mute point.

Before you worry about a possible tiebreaker game, we should be focusing on the guaranteed games we have against good teams.
Braves(3) - Wood, Zambrano, Maddux
THIS I like.
Well the way we're playing I'm hoping the last series is mostly a mute point. Especially if we can save Zambrano for a Game 1 start(especially after last night). If the tiebreaker is Tuesday instead of Monday, then Prior would get the start and that's much more acceptable. What I've seen over the last 2 weeks makes me believe we're not going to have to worry about it.
