GoodAsGould Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 04:44 AM) 1) Are we getting Byrd on full rest? 2) Didn't it strike you as a little odd as to how overjoyed the Angels were to advance? They seemed a lot more excited than the Sox. Probably trying to enjoy victory while they can... 3) Can someone explain the "Bronze Titan" banner to me? Well considering we were ahead of the red sox 2 games to none and the angels were on the brink of elimination wouldnt you be more excited... and our guys were plenty excited too. And I think Byrd is on full rest but he sucks anyways... not saying it is a guarantee but if there ever was one in the playoffs it should be.

Byrd pitched Friday night, so Saturday-Sunday-Monday -- he'll be on short rest for this game. Washburn is the only starter they have that could possibly be on full rest for Game 1. If Washburn still isn't good for Game 2, I'm not quite sure who the Angels could throw - Lackey would only have 2 days' rest, Santana is cooked from throwing 85 pitches, and Colon is just plain cooked. They'd be really screwed. But I think Washburn should be OK for Game 2 - I had strep throat one time and it wasn't really anything...just a sore throat.

Yeah when I had strep throat it was actually not as bad than a lot of sore throats ive had in the past but still when your sick you get tired so if he still is sick we should work the counts and get him out. We should be up 2-0 going to Anaheim... we could be down 0-2 but by all means we should be up 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Paul Byrd has not done well in the post season: 2004 Atlanta Braves 6.35 2005 Los Angeles Angels 9.82 Career Totals 7.71 and also, against the White Sox has done fairly poorly, posting a 7.50 ERA this season.

Leonard Zelig Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Both the AL & NL games on Wednesday are sceduled for 7 pm. central time, and according to MLB.com both are on FOX. Are they just going to show the regional game? I live in St. Louis and I am afraid I won't be able to see game two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been updated since game 5 ended but the Sox made a significant jump (of course) in odds to win the World Series after their sweep of Boston. Most places today had us slightly behind St. Louis in odds to win it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The key to the game is for Contreras to keep Figgins and Cabrera off the bases. If those two get to 1st, they will be at 2nd in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 It's only right that the two best and evenly matched teams meet in the ALCS. I've watched a ton of Angels games this year. Believe me when I say our bullpen will have to step up. Like the Sox, they keep games close and find ways to win in the end. They don't beat themselves. And I don't look for them to be jetlagged or winded from the Yankee series - just the opposite, in fact. I hope the Sox come out aggressive otherwise the Angels can steal this first one.

DBAHO Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Ok so JC's on the hill, you know the deal there, been our best pitcher in the 2nd half. In 2 games against the Angels this season, 0-1 with a 3.46 ERA, but a good stat here, only a .188 BAA. So they had trouble hitting him this season. Now as for Paul Byrd, in the 1 game he pitched against us, he won, but gave up 5ER in 6IP with 2HR's. Other good news, he's worse in night games, with his ERA .3 higher than in day games. Unfortunately lefties hit him way better, so the likes of Pods, A.J and Carl are going to have to produce for us. He's also terrible with RISP with 2 outs, so hopefully we get that situation to arise quite a bit. Byrd also has a G/F ratio of 0.89, another good sign for us since at the Cell we'll have plenty of chances to hit the long ball against him.
