Game 1: Carl Pavano vs. Mark Prior

Game 2: David Weathers vs. Matt Clement

 

EDIT: David Weathers is now slated to start Game 2 and NOT Aaron Small.

Can't hurt to try Small, we've given Bump and Kensing chances.

good to know

In the 6 appearances by Aaron Small, the Marlins are 1-5.

 

Here's Small's stats this year:

6.28 ERA 8K 5BB (14.1IP)

im glad we are givin small a chance to start. i know ife we score 3 runs or so in first game, we'll win cause of carls pitchin. 2nd game with small will need a little more offense i think, cause he might not do so hot...but i still say small leaves in 7th with a no-hitter...j/k

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug.....we need to send a pitcher to pitch on 3 days rest if we want to still contend, Byrd last night was on 3 days rest and Padilla wason 3 days rest not to long ago...

I agree - I think we need someone to go on three days rest, too. We can always give Small a start against Philly.

 

Then again, we dont win tonight it is all moot.

Aaron small sucks....nuff said.

We're essentially out of contention. No use risking injury to our pitchers...

 

Pavs Vs. Prior man now thats a showdown

Great pitcher and World Champion vs. Overrated pitcher

 

I fail to see the showdown-ness of it.

To you, anyone who isnt Koch sucks.

I agree. The Cubs are sending out 2 of their starters, why cant we? And last time we had a dobule header with them, they sent out Wood and Prior.

You think Prior is good!? An overrated pitcher with an ERA almost above 5 was well talked to be CY Young but look how miserably he?s failed.

These are critical wild card games. Looks like we are going for 1 win. Not much chance to win with Small against the Cubbies. Didn't Small give up 3 ERs in 1.1 innings the last time he faced the Cubs? And quickly gave up a 3 run jack to Tony Batista in the 2nd game of the double header on Monday?

 

One option would be to pitch Willis on 3 days rest...and have someone else pitch on Tuesday....Wayne perhaps? Or give Wayne a start....he certainly couldn't be worse than either Kensing, Bump or Small.

 

Or what about Tejerable...oh, nevermind...guess he was released on waivers awhile back.

Is Small the rookie from A ball?

No, that's Logan "What am I doing here anyway?" Kensing. He sucks. Hard. I don't care if he came from Single A. He sucks.

 

And Small has a SMALL chance of winning. GET IT? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

great where gonna split the double header

NinjaUbi, don't be too discouraged. I don't know how bad Small is but Clement is not 100% healthy. He left early two starts in a row before coming back on extra rest to pitch 6 or 7 innings. If the Marlins hitters can make Clement throw some pitches early--get him to labor--the Marlins might have a chance depending on how big Small pitches.

 

I think some of you guys overrate Prior. He is just a different pitcher from 2003. He's human this year. If you guys could beat 2003 Prior--which you did (assist to Bartman)--then you can definately beat 2004 Prior, especially when matched up against Cy Pavano.

 

My prediction: Marlins sweep. Pavano carries the game 1 load while the offense and bullpen are most responsible for the game 2 victory. Go FISH! :notworthy

Willis will pitch game 2.

 

*books it*

you're a dumbass. get it? hahahahaha

 

go play in traffic

Yeah he's so great. Gotta love that 11.57 ERA and 0-2 record. He shouldn't even be here in the first place. And I don't feel like arguing with your ignorant ass so go ahead and get the last one word.
