Beating the Dodgers in four games means the Padres rotation is fully rested and in order to face Philadelphia in the National League Championship Series
If there is a Game 5, am I not going to start that game?“That was the conversation I had with Ruben,” Darvish said through interpreter Shingo Horie. “ … I think he probably had a conversation with Bob on that as well. I think the conversation , ‘I guess that if we don’t start Yu in Game 5, he’s probably going to get mad. So we should probably think about him going in Game 5.’ That’s kind of the story behind that.
Like it was with Darvish, it would likely be a short, predictable conversation with Musgrove about starting a potential Game 7 on short rest as there are no off-days in the series after Game 2. The just-in-case wheels, of course, were already so far in motion that Darvish said he wondered aloud to Mike Clevinger and his teammates in the early innings Saturday if he should begin to head to Los Angeles.“Just to be ready if there a Game 5,” Darvish said. “Also during the game I would go into the weight room and do some workout stuff that I usually wouldn’t do if it was a regular rest.”
