bighurt4444 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Sorry if this was already posted, but I read on the "other" White Sox website that McCarthy will start in place of El Duque on Thursday. I think this is a great move. I think it is at least one start too late and that he should have replaced El Duque earlier, but I think McCarthy is perfectly capable of continuing to pitch like he has recently.

mmmmmbeeer Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Normally I'd be worried about sticking a rookie in a high-stress, playoff atmosphere but with BMAC I don't have that worry. I remember hearing Steve Stone and the other ESPN guys interview BMac during spring training...that kid REALLY has his s*** together. Very well spoken and focused. He gave me the impression that he feeds on pressure. I don't think he'll have any problems on Thu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Boston can't get to him...then he should be able to just dismantle Minnesota. Let's just hope his pitches show up that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierSox Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Should have been done 2 starts ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeGone! Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thank God! It's good to hear BMac is getting to start again after all these crappy El Duque starts we've been getting used to. Good to get El Duque some rest too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, due to working the night before, I was asleep during that game. I wish I had gotten to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxgt Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Thank God!!!! But please.............PLEASE!!!If things go wrong dont let it be his last chance this season to start. El Duque got like...8 second chances..Its only fair just to let Mccarthy finish the year as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If McCarthy messes up, will it be Ozzie's fault for starting a rookie in a tough situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Ozzie's making the right decision and even if BMac gets roughed up by the tough twinkie offense it can't be worse than what El Duque did against them on Saturday. Also, does anyone know who he'll be facing in this game? Will it be Santana again? If so that would really suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
