Angels Starting Pitcher Scott Kazmir will likely face the following lineup in Boston on Sunday Morning. Here is his record against each batter for regular season matchups...

Jacoby Ellsbury - 6 for 20, 1 double, 2 Ks, .650 OPS

Dustin Pedroia - 15 for 29, 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 6 BB, 1 K, 1.393 OPS

Victor Martinez - 5 for 11, all singles, 1 K, .909 OPS

Kevin Youkilis - 9 for 38, 3 doubles, 6 BB, 14 K, .649 OPS

David Ortiz - 9 for 44, 1 double, 2 HR, 6 BB, 11 K, .664 OPS

Jason Bay - 4 for 15, 1 double, 1 HR, 2 BB, 6 K, .886 OPS

Mike Lowell - 10 for 40, 2 doubles, 4 HR, 4 BB, 10 K, .933 OPS

J.D. Drew 1 for 7, 1 triple, 1 BB, 3 K, .900 OPS

Alex Gonzalez - 4 for 10, 1 double, 2 K, .900 OPS

Facing almost this same lineup in Game 2 of the 2008 ALCS, Kazmir surrendered 3 HR, 2 to Pedroia and 1 to Youkilis. He gave up a 2-run double to Bay in the first inning of a 4+ inning start in Tampa Bay on 7 days rest.

In Game 5 of the same series he went 6 innings, gave up 2 hits, no runs, waked 3 and struck out 7. He pitched on his regular 4 days rest.

Kaz will be pitching on 8 days rest in Fenway Park today.

Ah man

Kazmir has two tough acts to follow.

Come on Kazmir! Shut the door on the Red Sox!

Almost disheartening

Is a sweep of the Red Sox just too good to be true for the Angels? :(

Go Angels go!

He gets through 5 IP

and he’s done his job. The front-end bullpen is probably getting a little antsy in their recent lack of work.

It's true

Kazmir doesn’t really go deep into games, does he?

Just looked it up

He’s only ever pitched a complete game once in his career.

2006 vs Boston: 3-0, 9.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, 120 Pitches.

I would like to see this Kazmir on the mound today, please.

There is always the invincible Matt Palmer to pull up the rear.

So I am not that worried.

Matt Palmer has been a monster long reliever for us

But he has no holds. So I guess we don’t put him in close games?

He’s got a 2.56 ERA in his last 18 appearances. 2-1 record, yet in those appearances, the Angels went 7-11.

So he’s mostly put in when the team is losing.

Pissed at you???

That doesn’t make any sense … unless you’re Papi or Pedroia. In that case, they have a point.

early offensive explosion for the angels today

it will get so bad for the sox, that francona will ask to borrow willits and quinlan to insert into the sox lineup, so they get the full effect of having their asses kicked.

top of the morning to ya, chowds

Couldn’t sleep in this morning… It’s kinda like trying to go to sleep when you know Santa is coming.

Woke up at 6:30 am and couldn’t get back to sleep even though this is my day to sleep in…

Torii did an interview in which he said he was the Hula Dula Domino Rula because of his dominance in the game over his teammates……..

Don't buy into the excuses of the Skanks

   So what? 3 of them were in the eleventh inning. and if the Blind ump wasn’t out there, at least one of those would have scored.

Abreu and Morales but really it is the team's depth.

It is always somebody different every time that steps up and makes the great play or gets the clutch hit that wins the game.

my opinion:

depends on the day!

consistently strong: Abreu & Hunter

by ladybug on Oct 11, 2009 8:27 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's gotta be...

K Mo

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Torii fan but K Mo leads the team in most of the important hitting stats…

by Jietoh on Oct 11, 2009 8:34 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Right Right

Kendrys pretty underrated.
Another Question: Give me your honest answer Who would you rather play in the ALCS
Bankees or Twins?

When Im in a jam......... I ask myself "WWPD?" (What Would Porcello Do)

by Percy Harvin My Fav! on Oct 11, 2009 8:37 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Definitely the Twins.......

just because of the fact that it’s nice to prove that you cant buy championships……plus it would be a darn fun series for all TRUE baseball fans.

We’re rooting for you guys and not because we think you’d be easier to beat. Let’s face it, The yanks don’t do that well against us. I think most Angels fans can relate to being the underdogs, unvervalued adn under-appreciated, written off before you even start. Also, like said before, It’d be nice to see the moneyball team get dropped after trying to buy a championshp. Good luck to the twins! You’ve earned your place. Your team has long heart.

by firebird81 on Oct 11, 2009 8:45 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

id rather play the Yanks

i feel better about us beating the Yankees. As much as I would love to see the Twins win 3 in a row, the Twins scare me for some reason. I think we will have no problem against the Yankees.

Notice how when the Skankees are on they have a pregame show?

Do Ron Darling and Chip Caray more or less sound dissapointed when the Angels do someting good?

They hire guys that are terrible.

    I still can’t believe how obviously biased the network is by hiring TWO OUT OF TWO Red Sox announcers to do this series. I mean C’mon! That be like having Hud and Rory do the series. Though we would like it, it wouldn’t be very balanced.

i think only 1 is a Sux announcer

that would be Orsillo, but the other is actually the Orioles announcer…

Not sure if anyone has posted this....

….Scot Kazmir has the second best left handed era in Fenway history since 1945, as a pitcher with more than 10 starts, Kaz is 6-4 with a 3.05. I kinda like our odds

The bat of Howie will rise again!
