For sure!

It's gotten so ridiculous that this year numerous times this year, I have seen pitchers sailing along through 4 shutout innings, only to be yanked by their managers before they could pitch the 5th inning ...... thus they could not register a WIN for themselves. ABSURD!

NOW GET THIS ............... WITH LAST NIGHT'S RAINOUT THERE WILL BE YANKEES/ASTROS FOUR DAYS IN A ROW.

The horrors!! Pitching coaches and managers will be having strokes. (Warm up that shortstop quick!)

Well, 4 straight days of playing is not unusual and in fact there are times during the reg season where clubs will go 13-15 days without a day off.

Clubs generally carry 13-15 pitcher including 5 starters and about n9n relievers. Starters pitch every 5th day so 4 straight days of playing is not really a problem. In the post season teams would rather have the days off as scheduled because it allows them to use their best pitchers in more of the games played in the series.

Only if the Yankees win a couple!
