QuickGold Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Again easy to second guess when we are sitting on our couch wathing the game on a TV. McKeon didn't want to pitch Benitez for 2 innings, he had confidence in FOX, Fox didn't get it done so he gave it to Bump, Bump tried his best and got 2 K's and 2 Hits, it just sucks that he had the bases loaded when it happened. I personally would have gone to Benitez after Bump gave up the one hit. Keep it a tie game. But whatever McKeon is only human and he will make mistakes, last year he made a lot of stupid calls that somehow worked. =) Hey, I know I'd have sent Fox out there too. He's our set up man. But if blame goes somewhere, it goes with Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I don't want to see Fox AND Bump out there tonight. They need rest. And Cordero can have a seat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if Beckett has a good game we wont need to use the PEN until the 9th when it's time for Benitez to do his thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBaby84 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 even though coors is evil to pitchers who rely on their slider Fox said he doesnt believe in that technical stuff and that it's all in the execution. I still think Fox is the man. I think Bump did a pretty good job considering and if we had used Armando sooner then you fools would have been complaining that we overused him later. Maybe it would have been better to leave Wayne in a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Actually Bump struck out the first 2. Then the 3rd hitter hit a single which scored 2 guys. 1 went to third and the hitter to first. Now there are 2 men at the corners. Then he walked the next guy which was pretty dumb in myopinion for another bases loaded, then the next hitter hit a single or double *forgot* which scored 3 runs. 1 man left on bse, and they got the one more out they needed. over. But that was yesterday... its over now :confused . Can't wait for the game today at 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Time Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 And Josh Beckett is blowing this game, and yet noone starts a Beckett sucks thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babaru Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 bump and fox blew it? i suppose singlehandedly setting the all-time record for most HRs allowed by a marlins pitcher in one game doesn't count as blowing it? forgive me if im wrong but (im not...) we were in the lead, he coulda given up eight for all I care, dont forget that cabrera homered to make it 10-8, so they did blow it. And Josh Beckett is blowing this game, and yet noone starts a Beckett sucks thread... allowing 4 runs in 7 innings is blowing it at coors? I think not.

AJBurnett34 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Bump did a good job, he struck out 2 and then just allowed that single. Fox is doing terrible. Even though its coors but his other relief appearance he was bad. The pitchers should of looked at a tape of pavano pitching. Pavz was hitting the corners and kept the ball low all night.
