When it's for the sake of fielding his most competitive team for the post season, the idea of using Matz in relief is beyond the pale, it's he's never done it! So we can't have him doing it now! He's had arm problems! When it's about keeping his arm fresh for Game Four, Terry's all, Matz WILL pitch in Game Two, regardless of the situation; we'll figure some way to get him in there � force him in there if we have to. So he can't pitch relief because he's only started, so you want to protect him from the alleged damage of relieving, unless you need him to pitch relief to prepare for a start, in order to protect him from some other alleged damage. And all that puts aside the presumably high priority of winning post-season games whenever you have a chance to win them. And really, if you want to get him a single inning, just for the sake of getting him work, even though you obviously don't know how the game will unfold, just let him start.
