I would pitch Niese in Washington, and in Atlanta and then reconsider who the #5 starter is for the Cubs game.

or (see below) pitch Niese on 9/10 like you said…

I could come up with a very good case to not pitch Pelfrey against the Nationals and let Niese have that game on Wed…

but the way Pelf has been going he will barely break a sweat and shut out the Nats for 8 innings. So why not let him do it? :)

There’s no game on Monday. Doesn’t anyone here read the schedule?

Tuesday will be Ollie’s regularly scheduled start.
Wednesday would be Pelf’s regularly scheduled start.

Now, if you really want to give Niese another chance soon, and if Maine isn’t ready, pitch Niese at home on Wednesday 9/10. Santana on 9/12, Pedro (if he’s ok) on 9/13. Perez on 9/14 – his regular start. Niese on 9/15 again, or if Niese stunk it up, you decide whether to go back to Pelf there or see if Maine is ready; either way, Pelf pitches 9/15 or 9/16 at the latest.

Then, there are no more days off, so you go Santana – Pedro – Perez – #5 – Pelf all the way from 9/17 thru. That gives you Pelf – Santana – Pedro for the final weekend, with Perez for the playoff if necessary.

And, obviously, once the games don’t matter any more, none of them pitch until after the end of the regular season.

Niese had 1 bad outing and we won the game all be it. He should start next Sunday home agst the Braves and give the starters an extra day of rest 1 more time this year. Ollie can then pitch on Monday and you go with your 5 man rotation the rest of the year. The extra rest for 3 consecutive starts should help pedro.

Not a chance. Lots of not well thought out comments on here right now.
