EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Just caught a clip on Sportscenter with John Kruk agreeing with Joe Torre's decision to start Chien-Ming Wang in game two. Kruk cited Wang's ability to strike out batters. Wang has the lowest K rate of any Yankee pitcher on the playoff roster. Kruk cited Shawn Chacon's poor numbers against the Angels (0-1, 9.00 ERA). Of course, those numbers come from exactly two starts, one of which occured when Chacon was a rookie pitching in Coors Field. In the more recent start, Chacon allowed one unearned run in six innings. That's not to say it is the wrong decision, just that there's some faulty analysis at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Huge game for the Yankees tonight. It is going to be interesting to see which Mike Mussina pitches tonight. Hopefully this is not a repeat of Mussina from game 2 of the ALDS when he blew a 6-1 lead at home against the Angels. I hope Arod continues his dominance against Colon tonight.

Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Keys for the Angels to win the series. If Chone Figgins and Cabrera constantly get on base they are going to steal second, they are going to take third on a single. If the Yankees can keep those two off the basepaths it might change who wins the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd wish for another network to grab the baseball package, but I just know they'd hire Tim Fucking McCarver as the lead analyst, just to piss me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big win for the Yankees. I hope they go for the throats tommorow and get that 2-0 lead against Paul Byrd. I am interested to see what Ching Ming Wang shows up tommorow.
