The bigger issue is the impact on the next series where Pope, on 9 days rest, will face on of the two teams on one day rest. Clearly a HUGE disadvantage for whichever team advances.
As for the three days rest comment, that's a moot point as GHSA saw fit to completely change all the pitch count rules for playoffs and the only pitch count is no more than 120 pitches in a three day window. That's what allowed Woodstock to throw a pitcher 96 pitches on Wednesday and come back and throw 24 the very next night in a closer appearance.
Add to the mix that rain is in the forecast all week here, who knows when game 3 will be played and subsequently when the championship series might start.
You sure about the Nuke? I thought playoff pitching rules trump all, that is 120 per series per pitcher....no mention if the "series" lasted 3 days as intended or 15 days. 7 day rest may be irrelevant?
The "rule" that was sent out did state a three game series, but it was also ambiguous in that it mentioned weather affected games, but made no further stipulation of what that meant.
At this point, with GHSA, I think we should see what happens, who protests, and then how many times the board votes before they declare a winner in any game going forward.
