RossInfoMan Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Marlins open NLDS in San Fran By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com MIAMI -- Winners of a tightly-fought Wild Card race, the Marlins open their National League Division Series Tuesday against the Giants at Pacific Bell Park. The Marlins, who have lost five of six against the Giants, will play the first two games at San Francisco. Game 2 is Oct. 1. After that, the best-of-five series will be played at Pro Player Stadium on Oct. 3 and 4 (if necessary). In their 11th season, the Marlins are making their second postseason appearance. In 1997, the fifth season of the franchise, Florida won the World Series in seven games over Cleveland. The Marlins have lined up their pitching rotation with Josh Beckett (9-8, 3.04) starting Game 1 and Brad Penny tossing the second game. Off on Thursday, Oct. 2, the Marlins will start rookie left-hander Dontrelle Willis at Pro Player Stadium in Game 3. If necessary, lefty Mark Redman would pitch Game 4. Should the series extend to five games, the finale will be Sunday, Oct. 5, at San Francisco with Beckett getting the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephisto Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 As long we can contain Barry Bonds we have a chance. The marlins are probably going to walk him when ever they have a chance to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Does everyone here forget that Barry has only had one good postseason in his major league career?

Wild Card Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Either pitch Barry up and in or low and away. Why not up and away, with Pudge sticking his arm out into the right-handers batters box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMillan Marlins Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Why not up and away, with Pudge sticking his arm out into the right-handers batters box. i think we should sign almonte to pitch to bonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami15 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 walk bonds all game every game and we could win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 We should only walk Bonds when needed. Walking gets our pitchers' control messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
