July 1, 200321 yr Given the circumstances I would normally vote against Beckett, with the rehab, 1st start and all. But Hampton is a blown out rag.
July 1, 200321 yr good question.  hampton was great last time out.  beckett might be rusty.  i will say marlins though...but i dont think beckett gets a decision.
July 1, 200321 yr Yea, Beckett hasnt pitched in a Major League game for quite a while but Hampton has had his ups and downs. No ones sure of ho Hampton is going to pitch because one day he just breaks down and starts walking people. We have to keep an eye on him walking people we have to be patient....also we are heating up even more and we are starting to win alot.
July 1, 200321 yr I have said i have a bad feeling about this game...but I think our offense will step up. I think Beckett doesnt have to be "on" for us to win.
July 1, 200321 yr mayn have you seen how the offense has played the last 7 games?????? the last 4 games they have scored 33 runs, they are pounding the ball.... and Beckett was doing pretty good this year till he got hurt..... so i Xpect him go right where he left off... as 4 Hampton this is the same guy who has sucked the last few years he changes a uniform and all of a sudden he becomes good....BULL s***!!! that and i wanan kick the mans a** 4 rejecting us in the off season
July 1, 200321 yr have you seen us the last 7 games? no the last 4 games? Hampton is pitching well..... Beckett will be on a 90 pitch count
July 1, 200321 yr good thing we got a complete game outta red. Why? Is it a good thing we saved all those valuable bullpen arms for tomorrow? Kind of delaying the inevitable.
July 1, 200321 yr have you seen us the last 7 games? no the last 4 games? Hampton is pitching well..... Beckett will be on a 90 pitch count hell ya Box score wise and Radio wise and sometimes on TV i only missed 1 game the whole week and that was FRIDAY..... offense is great..... pitching has been crap..... but hey Bullpen was depleted i am not ashamed or mad at them anymore actually the way i look at it is..... Neal is Gone, Phieps is in the Pen "he should be starting and Pavz should be in the pen.." but thats okay Spoony will be back after the all star break..... we are good STUDS Pheips,Alan L.... and LOOP the STIFFZ Tejera,Almanza,and Bump.....  im okay with this and i think it is good enough to win 9 outta the next 11 games
July 1, 200321 yr well I'd rather the pen be pitching with fresh arms as opposed to worn out arms. Just common sense I would think.
July 1, 200321 yr The starter for tomorrows game should really be listed as Beckett/Phelps. Even if Beckett pitches well, Ive heard hell probably go 4 or 5 innings with Phelps coming in for some innings.
July 1, 200321 yr Tejera,Almanza,and Bump..... The gang that couldn't shoot strait. Dunno, just very scared of the fact that we will probably have to rely on the pen against the braves. Please god, let their be plenty of holds tomorrow for the Fish.
July 1, 200321 yr lmao... didnt know Beckett is on a 90 pitch count... guess ya right than it will be Beckett and Pheips yo i dunno bout you guys but i think those 2 guys can win tomorrows game......
July 1, 200321 yr Beckett go's 5 innings and if he has Beckett like stuff tomorrow he can take 90 pitches all the way to 7 innings..... Than Phielps comes in set up guy and Loop closes the deal..... the END or it could go Beckett 5 innings Pheips 3 innings than Loop..... Phielps can pitch as many innings as he wants he is a starter type picther as he has proven to me..... I dunno why the PEN needs so much rest Starting pitchers go 200-250 innings of baseball..... and you have Spoony cryin like a hoe talking about Jack uses me to much... if spoonz neva got hurt he was on a pace to pitch 104 innings im sure the number would have gone down once Phieps returned to the pen.....
July 1, 200321 yr I was most impressed with Bump than any of our other pitchers in the Boston series. Sure he had a rough time in his first ML inning, but then he proceeded to pitch 2 scoreless which was very impressive. Maybe he can help stabilize the situation. I won't get my hopes up though.
July 1, 200321 yr Mazzone and Hampton together= Tough to beat. I wonder what Willis could be with the help of Mazzone? :batman
July 1, 200321 yr Mazzone and Hampton together= Tough to beat. I wonder what Willis could be with the help of Mazzone? :batman i think with mazzone wills would be 8-1 when a pitcher is that great as wllis is, leo mazzone or wayne rosenthal wont change you, you're good regardless would schilling, martinez, and johnson be bad pitcher if they were under a bad pitching coach
