DON'T ANSWER YET - let me explain my question....
Regular season ends and Sox and Angels are up for first round. Francona announces pitching rotation for series, and "everyone" (at least in Boston sports media) assumes that OF COURSE Schilling will pitch in Game 2 - but Francona put Schill in for Game 3 instead, and the media trip all over themselves to find out WHY, OH WHY is Francona doing this?! Good God Almighty, WHYYYYYYY?!?!?! Francona gives a sheepish, apologetic press conference about how he thought REALLY HARD about this and just had to go with Schilling in 3.
And yet, they have to play AT LEAST 3 games anyway in a 5-game series... so, whether Schilling is pitching in 2 or in 3, HE PITCHES! He gets to pitch in the playoffs! In fact, he's in a position to possibly WIN the series for the Sox by pitching Game 3 instead of 2.
SO HERE'S MY QUESTION: Baseball fans (not just Sox fan) - help me understand this drama, because I don't!
