PrintBoston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels, Oct 9, 2009 9:37 PM EDT
There was almost a catastrophe today.
I went to grab my Josh Beckett shirt and put it on for good luck, but I couldn't find it. It wasn't in my closet. I freaked out a little bit.
Bad mojo, for sure.
But I calmed down because I saw another shirt I could wear -- maybe even a better shirt. A shirt that will lead the Red Sox to a game two victory:
Bill Mueller, No. 11.
All is good in the world. Let's win this thing.
On the mound for the Sox tonight is Josh Beckett. Here are his season stats:
The lowdown: Beckett is pissed. Not only did he think he should be the game one starter, but he's also upset about losing game one. So what's he going to do? He's going to go out there and put out his best performance to shut down the Angels. Beckett is a gamer. If he doesn't pitch well, I'd think it's the back that is holding him back. But if he has no injury concerns, I think he could do a pretty damn fine job tonight.
The Angels will send out 'Lil Weaver for game two:
The lowdown: 'Lil Weaver has had a pretty good season for himself. And if you compare his numbers with Beckett's, you don't see too much of a difference. Weaver started one more game than Beckett (if you remember, Beckett skipped a start toward the end of the season), but he had just 1.1 innings less on the season. Still, it's remarkable how similar the numbers are.
Weaver dominated the Sox this season, too. He allowed just one run in 13.2 innings of work. The Red Sox haven't been able to figure him out, and that could hurt them tonight. But as they say, there's a first time for everything.
The lineups tonight:
Red Sox:
- Jacoby Ellsbury, cf
- Dustin Pedroia, 2b
- Victor Martinez, c
- Kevin Youkilis, 1b
- David Ortiz, dh
- Jason Bay, lf
- Mike Lowell, 3b
- J.D. Drew, rf
- Alex Gonzalez, ss
Angels:
- Chone Figgins, 3b
- Bobby Abreu, rf
- Torii Hunter, cf
- Vlad Guerrero, dh
- Kendry Morales, 1b
- Juan Rivera, lf
- Maicer Izturis, 2b
- Mike Napoli, c
- Erick Aybar, ss
Let's go Sox!

You're missing his.
Lackey still went 7.1 and won the game for them.
The only way to meaningfully drive up pitch counts is to get baserunners and hits (or a bunch of 20-pitch at bats).

I'm more encouraged by the balls
hit hard by Martinez (but under it) and Pedroia (right at Figgins). We can and should hit Weaver hard today.

why is Lowell in?
Right-handed batters against Weaver this season are hitting .208/.263/.350…Mike Lowell this season has a .324 OBP against righties and a .382 SLG% on the road. He’s in the lineup. I really hope Mike Lowell gets some hits tonight. I would definitely prefer Kotchman… seems to me he’s been unlucky with BABIP.
This is what it's all about -- Hits
This game, and series, is not about Beckett. It’s about the offense.
Angel pitchers are not that good. Are they?

I wish they'd stop talking about 1st-3rd
It was a f’ing hit and run! Of course he’s going 1st-3rd on a hit!

He's a prolific one, that Gonzo

Now the offense will probably start to suck again.

i used to respect hunter but
since Texiera left he’s become such a Drama Queen diva. it’s incredibly annoying.
At least Lowell can't GIDP now

Weaver is looking vulnerable to me tonight
He can’t locate the outside stuff. Team that capitalize are playoff caliber. Be good Red Sox!
horrible at bat

How so?
They made the playoffs and lost one (1) game. It’s WAY too early to be pissed.

They don't on the road
Nothing new really. If they take this from the Angels then they practically won the series.
The way it went down.
The bad start, losing the lead to the Yankees, the 0-6 AL East road trip, and the way they lost to the Rangers when they “needed” to win.
it hasn’t turned out too bad so far, but you tell it as a story and it’s got some really low lows.

The fact we beat the MFY 8 straight and then they beat on us like Ike Turner
stings a little.
Never blow years when your bullpen is good.

I loathe them soo much.
A lot of people at my work love this crap team. I don’t get where they get all their attitude from. What have they done except dominate a sub par division consistently?
