There was a similar debate in the 1998 Divison Series Indians-Red Sox. Indians were up 2-1. Pedro Martinez was available to pitch Game 4 on short rest. But Jimy Williams. Went with Pete Shourek at home figuring he had a better shot winning with Shourek at home Pedro winning the deciding game 5 at Cleveland than Pedro winning Game 4 and Brett Saberhagen or Tim Wakefield winning Game 5. Damn near worked too. Shourek pitched the game of his life and left leading 1-0 before Tom Gordon blew his first save of the year.
