nitetrain8601 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 They better win tommorow. I don't know how much help the Rally Crede could give to Buehrle tommorow. Then again, the Rally Crede has an infinite source of Crede-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rventura23 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Looks like the Big three Astros is really the big two (pretty weak effort by clemens). Sox still have the four horseman, ready to go with a strong bullpen and joe clutch buehrle tomorrow, big game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 C'mon Mark, repeat what you did against LAAAAAAAAAA. Need to get this one with Oswalt lurking on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/ar...t=.jsp&c_id=cws REASONS TO HOPE U.S. Cellular Field may have chased Andy Pettitte out of the American League. Unlikely, of course, but he suffered more losses here (six, in nine decisions) than in any other park as a Yankee visitor. Furthermore, two of the White Sox lighter bats grow heavy against lefties -- Scott Podsednik and Aaron Rowand both hit 50 points higher against them. If the Astros are anxious about not going home in an 0-2 hole, Mark Buehrle is just the guy to exploit that by making them lunge for his change of speeds. Let's just get 3 more.

This one is BIG. I do not want to go back to Houston 1-1 with Oswalt on the mound in game 3. As long is Buehrle is Buehrle, I like our chances very much in game 2.

DBAHO Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yep, the Sox have hit lefties a lot better than righties this season so that's some good news. I'll have a detailed look at Pettite later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Mark Focking Buehrle. 2 hour ballgame. That is your goal. Go get these sons of b****es. You are so much better than them. Destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Mark, when this game is over, I want you to take a 100 foot slide along the tarp at the Cell. I want you to start at 1st and shoot for 3rd. And I want Fox to be pissed off about how short the game was, to the point that they have to show your slide and bracket it with commercials.

DBAHO Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Ok so now we're up against Andy Pettite. He had a 2.32 ERA this season with a 171/41 K/BB ratio. Very impressive. Since the ASB, he's come into his own, 11-2 with a 1.69 ERA, yet he gave up 3 more HR's in that stretch, which probably showed how dominant he was besides that. Good news, he's not pitching in Minute Maid Park. His ERA is .57 worse in away games, and it's also .57 worse in night games. Righties hit him better obviously, good news for our lineup, hitting .239 off him with 15 of those 17 homers given up on the year. His numbers aren't great with runners on with a 4.79 ERA, and there isn't much of a difference b/w that and RISP, so we need to get runners on base anyway at all. Looking at his pitch counts, he's got a steady spread of ERA b/w the high 2's and the low 3's, except for in b/w 16-30 where it's an unbelieveable 0.28. For our hitters, Jermaine Dye 6 for 18, Carl Everett 9 for 32, A.J 4 for 11 and Paulie 9 for 23, so we've had some success against him. Pettite's got a 4.66 ERA in his 3 postseason starts so far, so he hasn't been at his best. Given up almost a hit per inning, with a 12/6 K/BB ratio. Put simply, put the ball in play, and don't let him strike you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put simply, put the ball in play, and don't let him strike you out. Nice breakdown, Dbaho. I've seen two of Pettite's 3 post-season starts in the last couple weeks and he didn't look impressive in either. I hear he's still laboring from getting nailed "I can't remember where" from a rocket hit by I believe Reggie Sanders. With Buehrle going, I really like our chances in this one.

beck72 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 MB should be able to keep the sox in the game. The offense should be able to manufacture more runs with the first game under their belt. Let's make it 2-0 going into Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense should be able to manufacture more runs with the first game under their belt. Let's make it 2-0 going into Houston Looking at Houston's lineup, their top of the order in Biggio and Taveras really struggle against LHP. Taveras may infact lead-off in tonight's game, they mentioned that on the broadcast. But if you at the rest of Houston's hitters, against LHP, Bagwell hits .300, Ensberg hits .299, Berkman .294, Vizcaino .295, and Ausmus .293. So I think Houston will like their chances in this one, and it's probably a game they really need to win. I know Oswalt is on the hill in game 3, but in Houston against Garland and Garcia two RHP which they're not better at hitting, and the Sox's RHH power hitters with the short Left Field Wall, another win could be really crucial in the magintude of this series for the Sox. I like our chances of at least winning 1 game, 2 if Clemens starts game 5 in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
