June 27, 200521 yr This 4 game series vs the braves looks good for us. Their best pitcher of the series is Sosa and he is going up against Dontrell. The other 3 guys have eras around 5. The wild cards will be Lieter and Olsen. If they pitch well then we should take 3 out of 4.
June 27, 200521 yr With the exception of Andrew Jones, their lineup last week was weak and they still knocked us around.
June 27, 200521 yr Can't lie to anyone, I would like to see if Olsen is for real, pitch him against the Braves, Instead of Beckett. If he does good, then say goodbye to Burnett as far as I am concerned. Olsen is too good to keep down in double A, it's time to see what the young kids can do.

Even if Olsen pitches a 1 hitter I'd say it's unwise to ditch A.J. for a rookie with 2 starts. A.J. showed what he's capable of yesterday. I see him staying as good the rest of the season as long as he stays healthy. I predicted at the beginning of the season that A.J. would be our #1 pitcher if we make the playoffs. I'm sticking to it. A.J. starts game 1 of the WS. A.J. will probably be leaving us after this season. Olsen looke good. He can pitch next year, unless injuries come up with our other starters.

Because AJ will NOT be a Marlin next year. We can win without him when we get a good trade for him.

Because he has done so good up here last game. If you pitch him and he gets rocked hard core? Then Olsen's value drops like a stock broker after a crash. Why risk that if he is some of our trade bait? Personally, I hope becket is back and going though.
June 27, 200521 yr match ups look good for pitching.. but they are still the stinking braves they always find a way, I still remember chippers game winning run in extra innings earlier in the year (think it was game two was at it hehe) God that just was a kick to the chest hehe. I hope we can knock them off their game after their own sweep of the O's
June 27, 200521 yr didnt smoltz just pitch like 7-8 innings yesterday? 828106[/snapback] 2nd complete game in a row and it doesn't matter what the pitchers numbers are we're talking marlins offense, whether we're facing the best they have to offer (smoltz, 1-1, we scored like 8 and we scored 0) or its horacio ramirez or whatever, if are bats are sleeping they could be throwing a low level class A pitcher and they'd still probably shut us out. IMO. on the other hand, if the offense is awake, they could throw pedro or randy johnson or curt schilling and we could shallack them, very weird.

So lets get rid of him, we won in '03, so trade him for relief help and a bat maybe...or I like the Red Sox deal with Hanley. So yes, get rid of Burnett, and I didn't mean to trade Burnett if Olsen does well, but since we have a couple of weeks before the trade deadline, see what the kid has got. If we think he can do it, then trade Burnett for some help.
June 27, 200521 yr Trading Burnett = horrible idea Our pitching will land us in the playoffs. Without Burnett it would be a much harder task.
