Arroyo's Game Logs | Career Stats

Contreras's Game Logs | Career Stats

 

Arroyo should shut down the White Sox O like Miller did yesterday, and the Red Sox O should do very well vs. Contreras.

contreras? lol.....

[riverside sluggers]

yea dude, contreras is owned by the red sox

 

yea sure thing you guys will love this matchup as more or less the Red Sox should have in the clubhouse, a certificate of ownership of Jose Conteras. Lifetime in just six games he has a 1-4 record, with really jaw-dropping ERA of 13.50, in the span of just total 21 innings pitched giving up 7 Homeruns! Side note is yesterday's nesn pre-game report that it could be today again with alex cora taking 2nd base, while having Tony G give Bill Mueller the day off at 3rd base, though Bill does have great numbers against Conteras.

 

Jose Contreras vs:

Alex Cora, 1 for 5 (.200 avg)

Johnny Damon, 4 for 11 (.364 avg) HR, 3 RBIs, 4 Walks, 6 Ks, SB

Tony G, 1 for 4 (.250 avg) HR, RBI, K

Kevin Millar, 4 for 8 (.500 avg) Double, 2 HRs, 5 RBIs, 3 Walks, 3 Ks

Doug Mirabelli, 1 for 5 (.200 avg) RBI, 3 Ks (will serve on the bench today)

Bill Mueller, 5 for 11 (.455 avg) Double, HR, 5 RBIs, 2 Walks, K

Trot Nixon, 1 for 1 (1.000 avg) RBI, Walk

David Ortiz, 2 for 11 (.182 avg) Double, 3 RBIs, 2 Walks, 2 Ks

Manny Ramirez, 3 for 10 (.300 avg) Double, HR, 3 RBIs, Walk, 3 Ks

Jason Varitek, 1 for 5 (.200 avg) Walk, 2 Ks, 0 for 1 SBs

 

and in what could be Bronson's last start as a Red Sox pitcher, his stats in 3 games opposing the white sox is a 1-1 record with a 5.74 ERA. As it was last night, today wont be any different as Bronson is lethal against baserunners. And only one has tried to steal against him all season, that one being picked off. His stats against white sox is more dominating than contreras is by far with only one batter hitting above .300 against bronson, but ya know ozzie will try to throw some hit and runs, squeez plays, etc.

 

Bronson Arroyo vs:

Joe Crede, 0 for 3, Walk, K

Jermaine Dye, 0 for 1, Walk, K

Carl Everett, 1 for 7 (.143 avg)

Willie Harris, 2 for 7 (.286 avg) 2 Ks

Paul Konerko, 1 for 5 (.200 avg) HR, 3 RBIs, Walk

Timo Perez, 3 for 7 (.429 avg) Double

AJ Pierzynski, 0 for 3

Aaron Rowand, 1 for 5 (.200 avg) K

Juan Uribe, 1 for 4 (.250 avg) Double, RBI, K

[riverside sluggers]

ok very good bill mueller is still in for today and will be batting 2nd instead today. alex cora taking over for edgar renterria at shortstop, and tony G is back at second base

[bigpapi349]

good lineup... i guess

[BeanTown33]

this is looking ppromising. during pregame they showed contreras' era against us its like 13.5. so this should be something to see.

[DrewDaGreat]

Lets get the series win!

[bigpapi349]

[AgentAnni008]

Big Papi!!!! Yaya!!!

[BeanTown33]

David Ortiz, starting the game off right. 1-0

[AgentAnni008]

man...the sox got their swings that inning...hopefully its a good sign.

[sgarceo]

Arroyo should go back in the pen when Shill is ready to start agian. Bronson did great in the playoffs last season coming in to relieve and it kills me to see him get knocked around.

[sgarceo]

The ******* anouncers are back on WGN for this game.

[ORS]

This has the makings of another Arroyo debaucle written all over it.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, but I mean for f***s sakes, Contreras is pitching for them. I think it'll be high scoring game.

[DrewDaGreat]

Arroyo looked alright at the end there.

 

And it is Contreras.

[ORS]

I'm confident our bats can get the job done. I just hope Bronson can work it to where he's handing off a lead to the 'pen.

[AgentAnni008]

prediction...veritek will single in both runners!!!

[ORS]

There you go Tek! Cora needs to keep this going.

[ORS]

prediction...veritek will single in both runners!!!

From 2nd base?

[AgentAnni008]

sorry about that...i meant cora

[schillingouttheks]

Nice job Cora, Trot scores the tying run.

[AgentAnni008]

i had TEK on the brain

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Let's hope Bronson settle's down.

[DrewDaGreat]

He didn't...

[ORS]

Well you can hope in one hand, and......you know. 4-2
