June 30, 200521 yr I've heard that Beckett is probable for tomorrow. If that's the case, are we still going to use Olsen in the rotation (i.e., instead of Leiter) or bullpen, or what?
June 30, 200521 yr Yeah, Becks tomorrow. He had the chart. I'm hoping Olsen takes Al's spot. Another meh performance, 8 mil or not it's hurting the team alot. Give the kid a chance. Doubt it happens though
June 30, 200521 yr he should get another start to see how he does, because yes his first start was great, but a lot of people can have a good start, it takes a good pitcher to turn in two good starts in a row.
June 30, 200521 yr Shamrock said it best....those 8 million (or 7?) are a sunk cost. Economics 101...let Leiter go. Edit: Maybe that's too harsh, he did well in the fisrt 4 innings today...
June 30, 200521 yr He definitely should take over for Leiter. Leiter might actually be effective in the bull pen you never know! Dontrelle was bad in the 03 playoffs and pretty much the second half of that season, so mckeon stuck him in the bullpen for the series and look what happened! ironically though, the Marlins have won Leiter's last 4 starts! Leiter is only 1-0 in that span though.
June 30, 200521 yr QAM 560 10th inning reports, that they haven't reached a decision yet on tomorrow's starter
June 30, 200521 yr QAM 560 10th inning reports, that they haven't reached a decision yet on tomorrow's starter 832924[/snapback] More like 14th inning.. lol
June 30, 200521 yr FlaMarlins.com has Beckett 832936[/snapback] They went to the clubhouse and asked the managers (10 - 15 minutes ago)
June 30, 200521 yr Leiter starts to give up all of his runs in the 2nd and on. He's lights out in the first. Put him in the bullpen to pitch an inning in relief.
June 30, 200521 yr I want Olsen to stay, send one of the relievers down, or get rid of Leiter somehow.
June 30, 200521 yr Leiter starts to give up all of his runs in the 2nd and on. He's lights out in the first. Put him in the bullpen to pitch an inning in relief. 832947[/snapback] Yep, I was at the Rangers game that Leiter gave them a 5-0 lead (in part due to a grand slam)... but he had a 1-2-3 inning in the first. (grand slam was in the 2nd)
June 30, 200521 yr BTW, you probably remember, but we came back to win that game 6-5 on A-Gonz's HR. That was also the first game of Leiter's "win streak" lol.
June 30, 200521 yr Al pitched good tonight, he went out ther and played good ball really. He kept us into the game and all.
