Yankees/Red Sox Pitching Matchups

[yankeessuck013]

anyone know what they are for sure...judging by their rotation the past week I'm guessing

 

Wells/Small

Schilling/Chacon

Wakefield/Johnson

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I've heard that they might swich Small and Chacon.

[RedRuffing15]

If those are them, then those are going to be some great games

 

Wells has an advantage over Small, but Samll has still come in huge for us(6-0)

 

I'm not sure where to lean in the next one, Chacon has been great last start, but the one before it wasn't anything great, and Schilling could be great if he finds his stuff

 

Wakefield, I'm not really sure of what his numbers are, someone will need to fill me in on that, but Johnsons been great latley

 

I'm excited for these games

Joe says he wants to start Leiter... <_>

Yay!!!!

How about switching chacon and johnson.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

If Joe starts Leiter then hes an idiot. Apperently if you have pitched in big games before but you stink he will start you over a guy who has more talent.

Schilling vs Johnson would be great but I think he wants to keep Randy on normal rest.

If he does it, I will officially join the "Fire Joe" club. He'd most likely sit down Small (who just pitched a complete game shutout of a play off contender) for Leiter (who didn't last an inning against the same team.)

Leiter shut down the sox once already....lefty against the sox is better.....is it really that horrible of a decision???

[RedRuffing15]

I guess everyone is right, but I think I'd go with the guy who Just pitched great as opposed to the guy who pitched great 5 weeks ago(or so)

[Optimist]

It's confirmed, Small will be starting on Friday; they're still not sure who will go on Saturday.

Yes, it is. The first time we see any pitcher we suck. Then we turn it around because we know what to expect.

 

Wakefield vs Johnson...I'm pretty sure (even though I don't have stats/numbers to back me up because I'm too lazy to go searching for them) that, if I remember correctly, Wakefield has historically had a lot of success against the Yanks, so this match-up wouldn't be in the Yanks favor. Especially with the Big Unit's streakiness this year. But anything can happen in the game of baseball.

The Yankees hit Wakefield pretty well his last start (I think he gave up 3 HR). This year Wakefield is 1-2 with a 3.58 ERA against the Yankees. Not bad at all.

[riverside sluggers]

very true and still he is consistent as an innings eater, last game against the yankees he had pitched a complete game

[empirestrikesback26]

The yankees will be be swept probably.

[HOFer51]

The yankees will be be swept probably.

Stop being so cocky.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Its gonna be awesome, Hopefully the Red Sox give me a nice B-Day present on Sunday with a win.
