[IBL] pitcher rest question

[Brent Cunningham]

"There are other allowable *interpretations*, but they are incorrect".

Fixed that for you.  :-)

I'm the opponent that Alex is referring to, and I was taught that mids
could go 3 games 1-2-n (where n is IP in game 3).  I don't recall anyone
ever telling me different until Alex mentioned it last night after the
first 2 games of our series.

Because intonation can be misconstrued in emails, I'm not complaining or
bitching, I'm just putting out there that that's the way I was taught.  I
guess I'll have to go back and re-play the last 6 seasons.  :-)
