March 20, 201610 yr if chen lose first game this topic will go cazy why jose not starter because chan dont look like starter pitcher Yeah if we lose game 1 because of Chen and win game 2 with Jose I'm gonna be pissed that we started 0-1 and won game 2. It'd be so much better if we won game 1 with Jose then lost game 2 with Chen that way we can start 1-0 and then lose and end up 1-1 after two days instead of being 1-1 before game 3 like the other way instead of this way. Who's with me???
March 20, 201610 yr both games are must win. because you know tommy and the crew are playing against Washington the next day.
March 20, 201610 yr both games are must win. because you know tommy and the crew are playing against Washington the next day. Yes and either way it's still Jose and Chen vs Detroit so nothing changes.
March 20, 201610 yr No, game 1 is gonna be Perez with Preston. Waltz is being saved for Game 2 because it gives him more broadcast days and they're trying to build his broadcast days up throughout the season.
March 20, 201610 yr Not giving a shit about Game 1 is the new Moneyball. Suck Game 1 & catch them by surprise the rest of the way.
March 20, 201610 yr Admin there's a new merchandise idea. A shirt that says Keep Calm and Start Game 2

March 20, 201610 yr Another one, and I'm serious... Keep Calm and MB.com This would've been great 2 years ago.
March 20, 201610 yr By starting game 2 nearly half of his starts will come on days off. Good move to limit IP
March 20, 201610 yr By starting game 2 nearly half of his starts will come on days off. Good move to limit IP If he starts on our days off then this team is in worse shape than we thought.
March 20, 201610 yr If he starts on our days off then this team is worse shape than we thought. Meaning he either gets an extra day of rest or we skip him.
March 20, 201610 yr The Marlins will say this is "innings limit" based, but it reeks of being a way to bump up attendance for Game 2. They know they'll get a full crowd Opening Day, but putting Jose the second day could get back to back sellouts. In all honesty its probably a little of both but it feels primarily like an attendance move. Doesn't really matter anyway.
March 20, 201610 yr The total amount of innings will still be the same I'm guessing unless he gets hurt. Right, but if we delay his innings then we increase the chances of him pitching pointless innings. I'd rather pitch him as we would normally than try to extend him for an October that might never happen. The moment we fall out of contention, any inning pitched by Jose afterwards is a waste, especially if we held him back in the beginning of the season.
March 20, 201610 yr Has Chen even reported to camp yet? Think he pitched an inning for Baltimore today.
