David Pinto thinks that the Marlins could be making a big mistake starting Josh Beckett on three-day’s rest for Game 6 tonight:
…If the Marlins were losing 3-2, pitching Beckett in game 6 would be the right thing to do. But up a game, where they can afford to lose game 6, I think it’s a mistake.
Andy Pettitte wasn’t sharp in Game 6 of the ALCS, and he got hammered in Arizona in Game 6 of the 2001 Serious (I like to remember that day as “The Day Andy Lost the Lord”). Can he reverse that trend tonight? If the Yankees’ season is to continue, he had better.
