It would be awful to go home without throwing Bax a single time. That would cause much discussion. :D

Then we face the 4 seed, and we can't waste Bax there, so we throw Stanek. Meanwhile it's 100 degrees in Arizona and we're running through our bullpen. We beat the 4 seed and have to play Arizona State. We throw Bax and let's say we win. Then we have to beat Arizona State again, but our pitching staff is depleted. I've gone back and forth on this and I think in the 2-3 matchup you have to throw your ace and give getting into the winners bracket your best shot.
