Pitching Strategy

So what do you do tonight?  Do you go with a brand new starter to pitch 3 or 4 innings?  Or do you use your bullpen like you would  in any other World Series game in the late innings.


I think Tampa Bay's gotta start with Balfour, cause otherwise they lose him for the night.  After that, I guess it depends on situation.  Philly on the other hand has more options.  For all intensive purposes, Hamels is on 2 days rest, and he's also leading off the inning.  I haven't seen him play too often, but looking at his stats it doesn't seem like he's a great hitter.  I might just go with a starter for the whole game...however long that lasts.  Moyer pitched well in game four.  You think he could give you three or four shut out innings tonight Laura?
