Playoff Rotation Set

[AGGiE]

Game 1: Chien-Ming Wang

Game 2: Andy Pettitte

Game 3: Roger Clemens

A few of us waited down on the field until the end of batting practice to get a reaction from Wang.

I would have preferred to start Pettitte on the road in game 1 and let Wang pitch game 3. Oh well. This isn't bad. -Jitpal

why would you want to hold your ace until game 3? we can't even use wang for two games if we wait that long.

[ccvle]

you not the only one to suggest that but i dont understand the logic. I know wang pitches much better at home than away,but the same goes for clemens. If the series goes to 5 games, do you really want clemens to pitch game 2 and game 5? We dont even what we will get out of clemens after his 2weeks off. I think Wang, Pettite and Clemens is the perfect rotation.

Wang-Game 1 Away
Pettite- Game 2 Away
Clemens-Game 3 Home
Wang-Game 4 Home
Pettite-Game 5 Away

Wang our starting pitcher for Game 1 is good, dont make him wait 2 start game 3

I forgot who said it on WFAN, but someone said they hear Torre is real sold on Ross making the playoff roster. Its going to be a tough decision because all those pitchers, atleast to me, should be on the roster.

I have no problems with the rotation. Screw the home and road splits, I want my best pitcher making the most starts. Wang is our best pitcher.

And there's no way I would hold out Wang until Game 3. Especially with the health of Clemens.
