If you didn’t perform in September (Uggla, Terdo, Downs) Fredi didn’t include you. It appears as though Freddy Garcia would start a Game 4, although Alex Wood could as well – one thing we do know is that it won’t be Paul Maholm; he career-long quest to play in the postseason will continue on for at least another week.
