That losing streak we had was bad. We went through it last year for the 19 games. We just had to end it again. Someone ended it. No doubt it didn't need to go any longer. The offence just came out firing.

They say it benefits teams with deeper pitching staffs, but I don't know. In the old system, you had to go to a third starter or end up using a kid on short rest because you had games Monday through Thursday, then the championship on a Saturday.
