Pitching on 3-days rest is tough to do, and usually doesn't work out in the pitchers favor anyway (look at history). What CC Sabathia is doing is absolutely amazing, throwing so well, so many times, on short rest. I don't think he'll keep it up, so even if he does come back for Game 5, I think the Phils will take this (if they don't win it in four).
