Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
I think it's much more important to try and hold serve and win your two home games so I like Schilling in game 2. And suppose Beckett gets outpitched by CC and we're down 1, I want Schilling out there in game 2.
As an added bonus, DiceK might get a little extra motivation if he views this as a demotion.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
I know that I would rather have Schill than Dicek in game 7, but you gotta get there first.
fwiw, Dice-K was much better on the road this year than at home era of 4.02 instead of 4.86, BAA of .230 instead of .266, though is K/BB ratio was the same some of that would expect b/c numbers should be worse in Fenway than the avg AL park.

Anyone think, Sabbathia pitches 1,4,7 Carmona, 2,5. [/ QUOTE ] I only see CC pitching game 4 if the Indians are 0-3 going into it. If not, I don't think Wedge will mix anything up. And based on how Byrd pitched last night against the Yankees, I don't think Wedge will have any problem naming him the game 4 starter. What I wonder if he gets the game 3 call instead of Westbrook. -AA

[ QUOTE ] I think a lot of people are going to overestimate Boston's edge in the lineups. [/ QUOTE ] thats b/c when you look at the #'s, the Red Sox scored a lot more runs. [/ QUOTE ] The Indians are not playing the same lineup that they had for 1/2 the year. Barfield- 420abs .243/.270/.324 - has been replaced with Cabrera- 159abs .283/.354/.421 Nixon- 307abs .251/.342/.336 - replaced by Lofton .296/.367/.414 Micheals 267 .270/.324/.397 - replaced by Gutierrez 271 .266/.318/.472 David Dellucci's 178 abs .230/.296/.382 are no longer there. Andy Marte even put in 57 abs with a .193/.233/.316 line before being pulled. That's close to 22% abs (1229/5604) being replaced with upgrades.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
ok, but you could also find a whole bunch of awful Wily Mo Pena ab's that are gone & a bunch of Eric Hinke at bats that won't show up here.
and like I said, those results don't reflect that Manny is locked in after a down season, and JD Drew was really bad for 5 months, and appeared to be back to a great hitter in September.

The amount of Abs that the Cleveland lineup gave to players with NEGATIVE VORP during the year is pretty impressive for a playoff team.

[/ QUOTE ] Can I get some Hafner love as well? He hit .266/.385/.451 during the season, but a .316/.414/.551 September, which is a lot more in line with the last 3 seasons. I'm not trying to say that Cleveland is better here, just that their runs scored differences aren't nearly as great as reg season stats.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
Anyone else think the Sox bring back Beckett on short rest if it goes to game 7?
