Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is generally one of the less terrible members of the mainstream sports media, and often has inside information that is quite interesting. He is, though, capable of some real doozies. A few days ago, he published this. Yesterday, he decided to pull a 180 and write this. Personally, I would probably send Beckett out on short rest; even though the Rockies are hot, and even if Beckett is tired, the Sox would still be the strong favorites in the world series; thus, they should play this series as if it were the world series. I also think, however, that pitch counts and the "babying" of pitchers has been a great development for baseball in general. Look how many great pitchers are pitching well into their forties these days; is it really better to have this kind of thing happen?

Agreed on everything. Do you know why Bill James criticized the pitch count (or so I read)?
