I have a bigger problem with the extra days off they built into the playoff schedule than the layoff. I mean one of the biggest advantages of getting a bye in baseball should be that you get to go into the series with a set rotation and rested bullpen instead of having to cobble something together for the first 2-3 games. There probably shouldn't be a day off in between game 3 of the WC and game 1 of the DS and there definitely shouldn't be a day off between game 1 and 2 of the DS.

Agreed. With another day off between games 1 and 2 in the LDS, Philly just got more rest for their bullpen, and the Braves had to wait, AGAIN, to get back on the field. 1 game in 7 days at the end of a season is murder.
