Did you happen to catch Weaver's line yesterday? That's why.The Third Man wrote:Um, why would you not line up your best pitcher (Felix) with their best pitcher (Dice-K)? That's what would make no sense, had they not done it.
So he got bombed yesterday instead of today or tomorrow? I'm not sure what you're getting at here.mcgee51taguchi99 wrote:Did you happen to catch Weaver's line yesterday? That's why.
Leroy wrote:I'm down. I wouldn't miss watching the two best pitchers in the history of baseball go head to head. This will be epic.
What he's saying is if you think their number one is better than your number one why wouldn't you throw your number one against their number 3 (Beckett) and have a better chance to win at least one of the two games instead of throwing a crap pitcher against their number 3 and wasting your ace in a game you think you'll lose to their ace..The Third Man wrote:So he got bombed yesterday instead of today or tomorrow?

Again, not saying I agree with the theory but do you at least understand what he was trying to say now?The Third Man wrote:I'm not sure who would ever expect to lose with King Felix in the mound. Matsuzaka's first start was impressive - Felix's was even more so. And he's got better pure stuff too.
I'm arguing that it's smarter to have your best three pitchers, who are fully rested, go in order against one of the best offenses in the game than your #4. Perhaps there is some unwritten rule against this type of thinking that I'm missing?The Third Man wrote:So he got bombed yesterday instead of today or tomorrow?
