Something tells me he knew how many outs there were.

That is a geyser of sample data.

Beckett's pitch count is fairly low (about 80). Keep in in for the 7th for sure and probably the 8th.

He would have 3 days rest in Game 4. Since I don't think there's any chance of that heppening, there's little reason to take him out early.

He'll have 5 days rest when he pitches Game 5.

Beckett should stay in the game and give the bullpen the rest.

they haven't pitched in almost a week. they have an off day on Monday. the bullpen is and should be more than rested.

Beckett's not coming out early. Playoff Francona is way different (and way sicker) than regular season Francona.

I phrased that badly. I know they're rested.

I want to minimize the chance they could become exhausted if they're used extensively in the next few games. All it takes is a couple bad starts to drain the bullpen. Beckett's at exactly 80 pitches through 6 IP. He can easily go 7 and probably 8. If the lead stays at 5+, send Gagne out to close the game.

they should just put Big Papi on 1st automatically and have the pitcher save the 6 or 7 pitches every AB.

Any more runs and they should pull Beckett out. I think we can pull through three innings with Timlin, Lopez and the like.
