Here's CC's answer to my question. I'm not buying it. You pitch whoever of your top 5 relievers is in the best shape for one inning to get the win. That was Wilson in this case.
Seems clear though that Matt Bush is going to be DFA'd before tomorrow's game. Pannone probably getting sent back down, too.
Obviously, mathematically they don't have a 0% chance. I'm just saying they're not making the playoffs this year, and I feel fully comfortable making that statement.
This isn't even correct. The Cardinals were 8.5 games out of the WC on 9/1/11.
Give me a link for the fangraphs% you got from 2011 because I haven't been able to find it.
That's not that excessive for two games. Otherwise, he threw last Sunday and Tuesday and that's it. Better situation compared to Williams, who's thrown 4/5 games including 26 last night; Milner, who's thrown 5/6; and Peguero, who's thrown 5/6.
