April 30, 200521 yr The Marlins will use a four-man rotation until May 10, when right-hander Brian Moehler will start against Houston. "With the off days in between, we can do it," McKeon said. Left-hander Dontrelle Willis starts tonight and right-hander Josh Beckett goes Sunday. The Marlins are off Monday then will throw left-hander Al Leiter in Atlanta on Tuesday and right-hander A.J.Burnett on Wednesday. The Marlins are off again Thursday before returning home for three games against the Rockies, featuring Willis, Beckett and Burnett. Moehler would have started today but was skipped because of two games canceled in Colorado this week because of inclement weather. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, a wrestling fan, was asked about his team's misfortune of facing Florida's top three, Burnett, Willis and Beckett. "Good," he said. "Like Ric Flair used to say, 'To be the best, you got beat the best.' " Link to Full Article With the way Moehler has been pitching it might have been better to sit Leiter.
April 30, 200521 yr "Good," he said. "Like Ric Flair used to say, 'To be the best, you got beat the best.' " :lol Props to Manuel for the quote
April 30, 200521 yr Disappointing he kind of botched the Ric Flair quote :lol Give Manuel some points for trying Anyways Moehler should get some bullpen work at some point next week.
April 30, 200521 yr With the injuries ravaging the 'pen, putting Moehler down there may be a good thing considering he can be run out there for any of the games that we need a bridge pitcher for (considering that was Bump's job but now he may be used as a set-up reliever *shudder*).
April 30, 200521 yr That means..... May 9th, in Miami Roger Clemens vs AJ Burnett *dies* 758795[/snapback] WOW! That will be a great game :notworthy
April 30, 200521 yr That means..... May 9th, in Miami Roger Clemens vs AJ Burnett *dies* 758795[/snapback] I'll be at the games on the 9th and 11th, I hope the Astro's rotation doesn't change between now and then *knock on wood*.
