whitesoxfan99 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 McKeon is going with Beckett in game 6 and probably Pavano in game 7. Both on short rest.ESPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Bad idea IMO Beckett on 4 days rest = better than pavano and beckett on 3 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I hate to say it but that looks like another NY worlds series championship. Mckeon has made all the right moves. You're bound to make a wrong descision sooner or later, but if any team can overcome this, It's the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Sorry we are talking about a 23 year old kid. Toss him out there and break out the champagne. Don't go to a game 7 in Yankee stadium with all the ghosts. The kid will be all right. And he'll get pulled before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Jack has got the Yankees down and now he wants to finish them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Here is how I see it Can't go with Redman because he sucks against the Yanks Even though Willis pitched great in his last elimination start against the Giants (great until he spent half an hour running the bases) You can't pitch him because he is really fatigued Helling would be a bad fit in this game So you go with beckett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hmm this decision will make or break da Marlins. Beckett deserves to win da final game and I hope he does, he'll turnin out to be one hell of a pitcher, prob da best young 1 in da game rite now. There's valid arguments for and against startin Beckett. Ken Rosenthal ripped Jack McKeon for making that decision making because of da 3 day rest for him and Pavano, plus he thinks it'll do long term damage for Beckett's arm, health wise. Personally I don't think Pavano can win in game 7, he's not a big game pitcher, and under da pressure at the Bronx, I think he'll choke. So Beckett's gotta win in game 6 for da Marlins to win da World series in my opinion. Castillo gettin a hit would help too, lol. My perfect ending would be game 7, 0-0 tie in the top of the 9th, Miggy Cabrera hits a towering homer to win da World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Beckett deserves to win da final game and I hope he does, he'll turnin out to be one hell of a pitcher, prob da best young 1 in da game rite now. Despite the famous collapse in Game 6 of the NLCS, Mark Prior is still clearly the best young pitcher in baseball, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pitched well in game 6 in Chicago when the Marlins needed a win and he pitched well in his start against the Yankees in thie WS. He seems to be doing just fine in big games to me.

YASNY Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 McKeon is making the only decision he can make. He's going with his best two pitchers in games 6 & 7 of the World Series. That's a no brainer. As for long term damage to those guys. That's BS. It's not like he's doing this over the course of a season, which pitcher's used to do consistently, anyway.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 i dont know if i agree with this decision. Beckett on regular rest could pitch game 7 better IMO. BUT, he pitched well in relief vs the Cubs on 3 days rest and i wouldnt want Redman out there, so.....either way i hope it works out. God i hat the Yankee$. Go Marlins!

SoxFanForever Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Pretty funny that he went on pretty short rest and pitched a CG Shutout on the Yanks at home in the WS. Pretty amusing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
