Game #4 of the Division Series -- Cleveland Indians at New York Yankees

Mick_05_tiny by anaconda on in News Comment 297 comments

Cleveland Indians

Grady Sizemore,  CF
Asdrubal Cabrera,  2B
Travis Hafner,  DH
Victor Martinez,  1B
Jhonny Peralta,  SS
Kenny Lofton,  LF
Franklin Gutiérrez,  RF
Casey Blake,  3B
Kelly Shoppach,  C

Paul Byrd,  RHP  (15-8,  4.59 in 2007)


New York Yankees

Johnny Damon,  LF
Derek Jeter,  SS
Bobby Abreu,  RF
Alex Rodriguez,  3B
Jorge Posada,  C
Hideki Matsui,  DH
Robinson Cano,  2B
Melky Cabrera,  CF
Doug Mientkiewicz,  1B

Chien-Ming Wang,  RHP  (0-1,  15.43 in ALDS)


Pete Abraham reports that Joba Chamberlain will indeed be available for one inning tonight and Mo for two.  He also adds that Ian Kennedy was not physically ready to be added to the postseason roster but could be ready for the ALCS if the team advances to the next round.

Wang's numbers at home and away are well-documented (Hm:  2.75  Rd: 4.91) and has pitched on three days' rest just once during his career in a relief appearance against the Red Sox.

Also well-documented is the lack of success Byrd has against the Yanks during his career (1-4, 4.44 in 8 starts) and was shelled on 8/11 (2 IP, 7 ER) at the Jake.   Byrd's start is a bit of a double-whammy that favors the Yanks because it also takes Ryan Garko out of the lineup in favor of Kelly Shoppach, who is Byrd's personal catcher.

Yankees career numbers against Byrd can be viewed here.  Tribe career numbers against Wang (not including Game 1) can be viewed here.  

The featured graphic for tonight's game is the current road jersey logo for the Cleveland Indians.

Just win, baby!

Shoppach
A #4 pitcher who merits his own personal catcher?  Who does Byrd think he is, Mike Mussina?

by SP on Oct 8, 2007 6:54 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Let's hope so
The Mike Mussina that got shelled for 3 straight starts in August.

Cleveland will pay...
...for not starting Sabathia.  That has the smell of one of those too clever by half managing decisions.  I mean, have these guys been watching the Yanks since the all star break?  If NYY has a motto this year it's "Pitchers?!  We don't NEED no stinkin' pitchers!" This is the playoffs.  You win TODAY, not: "oh, well if we go to game five we put in the good pitcher, otherwise we win and play the Sox with the good pitcher and...."

 I think Cleveland better hide their mothers because the MFY have proved one thing this year - they can beat anybody on a good day, pitching problems or no.  See you guys at the ALCS.

i like to see some men on base with less
than two outs for Alex in the first.  It could really get him going.

We have big advantages tonight.  We've already won this game on paper.  We just need to execute.

Good luck guys and gal.

How is Martinez at 1st?  Is he a defensive liability compared to Garko?

Yes...
I see that effectively Garko is replaced by Shoppach which hurts them offensively, but what about defensively?

Garko is a pretty good glove at 1B.

Wang not getting the ball down
FYI...the team that has scored first in the series have lost all three games thus far.

by anaconda on Oct 8, 2007 7:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Freak stats
That goes right with the one about NY only winning when they lose the first game of the series.  Somehow I still think they'd prefer to score first.

by SP on Oct 8, 2007 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Presumably...
... that's largely because the home team has won all three games this series, and therefore had the second chance to score in each inning?

It's just a stat...
take it for what you want.

by anaconda on Oct 8, 2007 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Clarifying
The Yankees struck first in Game 1 and the Indians tonight---before the home team even had their first at-bat.  Game 2 wasn't in the same mold, but the Yankees scored first after having more chances to score---not something you would be particularly surprised by.

I thought..
most sinker ball pitchers got better as they tired?  Wang seems to be the exact opposite.

by AKJoe on Oct 8, 2007 7:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Overthrowing
Don't know if he's pumped or overcompensating, but he's throwing 95-96, so his pitches aren't sinking.

at least we don't have to look at those goddamned city league soft ball unis the Indians have worn the last two games. Those should be outlawed, particularly in the post season. There's a reason the Yanks don't have any two-color unis.

Foul
I think it hit his hand and the glove- it looks like it tore open a flap on the batting glove- but he was in the strike zone trying to bunt, so it's a foul.

Two outs and RISP and they fucking bloop the ball all over the place.  All series long. Garko's hit off Clemens, Peralta's off Hughes, Peralta's off Wang, Cabrera's off Moose, etc, etc, etc.  AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH.  

And the Yankees - Arod and Posada - miss 84 mph pitches right down the middle with two on.

And anytime Jeter wants to stop laughing would be fine by me.

Get some friggin runs off this loser and make a game of it.  Betancourt and Perez are looming.

It is a sad day
when you are betting against one of the best hitters in the league by attempting a hit-and-run.

When you are down 4 runs, you need all the baserunners you can get. It is best to stay conservative at that point and let your hitters hit. The fact that Jeter did not get a hit was not poor strategy; it was just unfortunate.

Perspective, if I may
We had a far better season than we ever could have expected the way our pitching was set up at the beginning of this year.

That said, it's time for Joe to go. I love the guy, I've defended him all year, and I still think this season was the best managerial performance of his career, but the Yankees are primed to start a new era, one led by Joba and Hughes and Kennedy and Cano and Cabrera, and with that should come a new, young manager. Here's to the dynasty Donnie Baseball never got to enjoy as a player. We'll get 'em in '08.

With the previous generation of pitching washed up and the next generation just a hair short of being ready for prime time, by all rights this should have been a rebuilding year. That we made a playoff run at all was pretty extraordinary.
