Last week on Steve and the Tank, Steve argued that rest is a good thing and the Tank said that too much rest will cool off a team. Well, the Rockies clinched the NLCS via a sweep, following a sweep in the NLDS after winning like 15 out of 16 games at the end of the season. To say they were hot was an understatement.

But they had to wait 9 days to play the Red Sox. The Red Sox got hot at the end of the ALCS and are going into the World Series on a roll. The Red Sox won last night 13-1, giving evidence, like Detroit last year, that winning the LCS too early can be a liability, not an asset.

MLB needs to revamp the schedules so if a team sweeps the LCS they are not waiting around 9 days to play their next game.
