Then i would have said at least Girardi made the right move and is playing the numbers and matches correctly.

Girardi is a moron...he has done everything in his power to lose this series

Regardless if we win he should be fired

 

[del]

It's a great series. It must go 7.

i think it will. pettitte's record with 3 days rest is 4-6 with a 4.15 ERA

Not quite Dell:

Of course, he is the all-time leader in postseason wins, and he has made five playoff starts on three days' rest, going 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA in them.

Selling Short: Will Pettitte Be Better Than Burnett on Three Days' Rest? -- MLB FanHouse

That is the stat that matters.

The 'rest issue' is nonsense, just something for people to talk about.

i stand corrected. i should know better than to take stats from a columnist from ny newsday anyway. i still think girardi fucked up bigtime; he could better afford to take a chance with his 4th starter in game 5. now, everyone has to pitch on 3 days-sabathia probably won't have a problem, but i don't like pettitte's chances. of course, petey on 4 days isn't optimal either.

i don't care who wins; i just want it to go 7.

we'll see.

I doubt you are seeing 7.

That would mean the Phils beat NY at hom,e two ina row, unlikely.

NY means the DH and the friendly crowd, and a decent sized left field (rf is still short).

The Stadium favors lefty pitchers, and NY has two left.

 

[Andrew2382]

No you're not Del.

No one wants Pettitte to win more then me...but those post season starts on short rest are meaningless

they all range from 2003-1996

thats meaningless...he is 37 now...2003 the latest was 6 years ago

 

[Andrew2382]

TBH I think both pitchers are going to get shelled tomorrow..Pettitte and Pedro. I see this being a game of the bull pens

apropos to nothing, whitey ford never pitched a game at fenway.

For anyone willing to gamble a neg-rep from me to earn a pos-rep...


I'm putting the over/under on number of inning's Pedro pitches tonight at 4 1/3.

If you choose to post your over/under pick here. You will get a pos-rep if you're right and a neg-rep if you're wrong.

If he pitches exactly 4 1/3 innings, I hand out no reps either way, but everyone who plays owes me a pos-rep.

Go.

I'll know if you do. I've now actually written down your's and EZ's picks on an actual piece of paper with one of those old fangled pencil thingies.

In my defense however, it was a mechanical pencil.

[Andrew2382]

I have a feeling both pitchers are going to get rocked tonight...don't know why.

I'll pick under...cause Jorge is in the lineup tonight and he has good numbers against Pedro including 4 dingers. he didn't play Game 2 last time Pedro pitched. Also Pedro is technically on "short rest" also because he has been pitching every 12 days or so past few games. Who knows what effects that may have.

UNDER I SAY!
