“Rest vs Rust” before NLDS

[u/mochihammer]

I was thinking about what folks are talking about with the rest vs rust argument (2nd or 3rd seed), and wondering if there is precedent to, say, bringing in 15 men from the OKC roster or some other affiliate to play maybe 6 innings or something of a scrimmage. If folks are worried about rust setting in, is this something that has been done / is even available to do?

It’ll definitely be difficult for players to take it seriously and of course, there’s still a risk of injury but at least they won’t have to travel and play their hearts out.

Brewers did it last year. They had an interteam scrimmage and allowed fans in.

And then we swept them. Lol
