premise: He is putting his contract on the line for a team that is pretty much using him as a hired gun./p pHe is making a very risky sacrifice by pitching for the Brewers on three days rest , when he 's waited so long . This is a pitcher who denied a $ 20 million dollar contract from the team that basically raised him in his baseball career . He did n't have to take the ball on short rest , he had every right to tell them , " No , once was enough , I ' m not doing it again . What will happen if pitches despite such a short rest ?
hypothesis: He will perform well because he 's been pitching well
