With the loss in Game 3, are we screwed for the series?

Actually rician' date=' his right oblique would cause him to open up more, not less,[/quote']

 

I'd disagree, if my Right oblique is hurting and I'm a righty, which I am, I'm not going to open up, I'm not going to rotate my upper body...i could see your point if I start off open, i.e. I have no horizontal rotation in either direction. This is getting way too trivial...GOM may have hit it on the head by saying he may be hurt or may have sucked, either way he wasn't good.

In response to the OP, I would say nay. It ends tonight.

would Beckett really have made it though 106 pitches without showing any sign of pain if his oblique really was bugging him?

More to the point, with a fully rested bullpen, would Tito have LET him throws 106 pitches? Tito isn't known for coddling his pitchers, but he also isn't one for letting playoff games get away from him if he can help it, and he had a quick hook in nearly every playoff game last year.

Siddown motherf***er!

If beckett was somewhat effective he wouldve been on the mound in the 6th, he wasnt somewhat effective,he was getting hit frequently.

the 100+ pitches tells me he was fine health wise,his velocity was ok as well.

anaheim won 100 games for a reason but it still was somewhat shocking to see becks get lit up in such a huge event.

Respectfully disagree.

[Mr Crunchy]

why is tito in love with justin masterson when the games on the line?

this isnt august.

2 out in the 8th inning is as good a time for paplebon as any.

i know he threw a couple innings the night before,big deal, he dont throw 7 innings a week, an extra 10 pitches wont break him.

i like masterson and all but this isnt time to ""lets see what hes got"" while proven commodities sit and watch in the bullpen.

he pulled this s*** in game 2?? and it almost cost us

I pitched at a pretty high level and threw hard enough to get scouted by the sox and other organizations. I can say from experience with a multitude of lesser injuries that the worst of them all IMO was a back or oblique strain. I couldnt finish my pitches. Everything was up. And the only way I knew my pitch would stay down was if it hurt. If you dont finish your pitches' date=' everything stays high. The curveball has the same break but ends up down the middle instead of at the knees. The heater is chest high and ready for a homer. Those were the days I'd throw a lot of pitches inside. Since everything stayed up, no batter wished to dig in since a lot of the pitches where I missed location went whizzing by their helmets. I didnt have much trouble with lateral movement more than my usual wildness. But as I went on with my college career and had capable rotation mates, I would usually skip a start. I only had to skip a couple, but it becomes difficult to strike the fear of god into hitters as they become more advanced.[/quote']

 

Coach Stone called, he said BP doesn't count.

 

He did say you were a real ironman, took the ball daily, and attributed a lot of the program's success to what he termed your "2:30 fastball".
