Hell 3 days rest is way over blowen, in college come playoff time everyone goes to a 3 man rotation and they throw over 150 oitches at times , they can do same things in the pros come playoff that is all i would run is a 3 man rotation, same way with your close hell he can go 2 innings every game if they are tied or winning in 8 and tied in 9th or on, this shit about they need that much rest is bs, hell back when i was in grade school and jr high in 70's the pitchers would throw into the 120's -130's and be able to come back in 3 days saw it 2 times with pittsburgh in was when they beat balt. to win their 2 ws rings in the 70's , each year they did it at home at 3 rivers, 3 days rest is more then enough and cc can do it he is a big strong guy,lot of pitchers like to throw they don't like all that rest, the more you throw the stronger the arm gets. pitchers are cuddled to much in the mid 90's on and that is why it is a fight to get past the 5 innings, use to be unless they were getting shelled they would go 7 8 innings and 1 guy to close the deal. not 5 pitchers in a game. and the weather is good which will help him out, he will be fine.
