In the past we haven't had a lot of these and we've let the team with missing results play the series under the assumption that their bullpen is fully rested.  Our "unofficial" way of handling rest in this situation is unfair to the opposing team.  This evens the playing field when teams are playing games without results from a previous series.  Option 1 lets both teams have a rested pen, while option 2 requires the team with missing results to carry over rest from their previous series.


If you believe that the current "unofficial" method of handling this situation is unfair then you really should vote YES for both of these.  If you split your vote YES/NO instead of YES on both and indicating preference you're running a greater risk of being stuck with the status quo.
