HFA vs the dodgers, sure. HFA vs the Nats in the NLDS is within the realm of outside shot. Doesn't mean enough to NOT do a 6-man if that's the way Joe/FO want to go. If they acquire, say, Verlander, why not go to a 6-man if the guys are comfortable with it? Especially with Monty there to piggyback if someone has a garbage 2-4 inning start. Obviously the comfort level of the rest for the SPs is the main issue. i wasn't speaking to whether it does or doesn't. i'm fine with going 6 man whether we're playing for something or not, as long as we're not giving starts to someone terrible.
