How the series plays out will determine how often the Sox choose to use Josh Beckett. Right now he’s slated to pitch tonight and in Game Five but Terry Francona could choose to juggle his rotation if the Sox fall behind in the series.

“The guys that are going to pitch are the guys that are going to pitch, and I think that’s why you try to do it without emotion because when you start making decisions with emotion, you can make some bad mistakes and you really don’t want to do that,” he said. “If we get to a situation in the series where somebody is saying, ‘You’d better skip somebody, you’d better pitch somebody on three days’ rest,’ we haven’t played very well to that point.”
