there. I'd still be hesitant to read too much into it, but it's possible. But intuitively I have a bit of a hard time thinking that just a few days off make that big of a difference. And if you really think that missing out on 4-5 PAs for a few days is that significant then these teams should be having simulated games with their best minor league starters, or even bringing in pitchers from other teams whose seasons are over to throw a few ABs to everyone for a few days. It's not like it would be hard to reasonably replicate.
