OK, what do you do in these situations:
1) Glavine wins today, Maine loses Wed. Do you pitch (a) Trashel as scheduled, (b) Perez on short rest, (c) Darren Oliver? I'd say it has to be (c). Perez was good enough yesterday, but as Fredo mentioned in post comment his effort was not "great" and is being overblown by papers (although Post did call him out in spots). Ironically, even by his own lousy standards (6.5 ERA), Perez's game was not good (7.94 ERA). And he got lucky with some induced DPs in a few spots. But, to his credit, he kept Cards to 3 runs until we finally found our offense. His start was better than Trash's and even Maine's last start.
2) Game is rained out today, so we have Tue-Wed-Thu. Cards move Carpenter up in the rotation instead of Weaver. Do you still pitch Glavine?
3) El Duque is available for WS(see here). Do you pitch him in game 1 and glavine game 2, or vice versa? Presumably if we get rained out today and Glavine pitches tomorrow, you definitely start El Duque in game 1 in that case to avoid Glavine going on 3 days rest again.

1) c
2) Yes
3) It depends. If the game goes off tonight as scheduled, pitch Glavine on full rest in Game 1, Duque in game 2 and Maine on full rest in game 3. If we're rained out tonight, then I'd rather start Duque in game 1 and Glavine on full rest in game 2.
