Game 2 Pitching Matchup......(Blank vs Pedro Martinez)

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/08/27/alg_yankees_andy_pettitte.jpg

I'd go with the guy in the picture.What do you guys think? He's been the more reliable guy this postseason thus far. Now you'll say:  If it ain't broke don't fix it. Yea, yea, not so fast. What if A.J decides to break this round? Joe doesn't care for throwing back to back leftys, but would you mind it?

If A.J does face Pedro in Game 2, expect a 9-8, 10-8, 7-6 or 55-41 final score perhaps. But Andy was fantastic on Sunday, and if you've been watching him all these years, when he's on.....its time to ride the wave. How about it sports fans? Andy Game 2? Or stick with A.J?

 

The 2009 Postseason Tale of the Tape

Andy: 3 starts; 19.0 IP,17 hits;5R;5ER,7BB 15K,2-0

A.J: 3 starts; 18.1IP,14 hits;9R,9ER,10BB,13K,0-0

Additional notes:   A.J is better at home, but Andy fared a tad better when we played the Phillies in May,although he didn't factor into the decision ........... A.J vs Philly...not so much. But it was 1 start apiece.

A.J.

andy pitched Sunday. Don’t use him on 3 days rest when you don’t need to.

Either way, I want them to KICK THE CRAP out of Pedro and I want to hear the “WHOS YOUR DADDY” chants get REALLY loud!!!!

AJ for game 2.

Andy doesn’t seem to care where he pitches.

I think AJ ’s gonna need the crowd behind him.

I really hope AJ just goes out there and becomes that Toronto Blue Jays AJ or the mid-May AJ for game 2 as well.

This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.

Save Pettite for a matchup VS a better pitcher.

Pedro is more “hit or miss” than AJ is. He is liable to get lit up bad…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

Yankees lit up Pedro..

when he was 95mph, Cy Young, RH Koufax Pedro.

I still can’t believe how bad he baffled the Dodgers hitters. I bet Jeter’s doing hand stands on Minka Kelly thinking about facing Pedro again…..

If everyone is on full rest,

then by all means debate on.

BUT, Pettitte would go on three days rest if he were to pitch game 2.

A.J. goes for game 2, like it or not.
