Well, while I can see some argument for resting starters - especially using defensive replacements late in games, a lot of bad things can come from loosing your last three games and going into the playoffs with that still on your mind, rather than blowing into the playoffs on a four-game winning streak.
Maybe, the long-time, successful Baseball man that saw how his team reacted to every game that year had a better grasp of how his team would react - kind of iffy to challenge that, huh?

all things considered, I would much rather go into October on a high, but I'm only a fan.

Managers are easy targets and players cannot get fired.
