This is the game to win IMO. This is going to be a tough series to win, and it's important to get at least 1 victory. Jerome Williams is by far the Angels weakest link in their rotation. It'd be huge for Matusz to have a solid outing, as well.

I would really strongly prefer they put Hardy in the 3 slot and Markakis in the 2 spot.

Markakis 2nd - .313/.384/.489 in 1340 PA
Markakis 3rd - .281/.356/.436 in 2240 PA

Hardy 2nd - .263/.313/.453 in 1497 PA
Hardy 3rd - .209/.277/.302 in 47 PA

Also would let you go R, L, R, S.

[JeffLong]

R, L, R, R, S no?

R, L, R, R, S no?

Ugh. Not sure what I was thinking. Game thread is going to be... interesting. Edited previous message.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Let's get the bats out immediately, and give Matusz some early runs.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I hate games on the Left Coast.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Reimold k's on a fastball up and out of the zone. 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

9 games against the Angels this year, 7 of them in LA.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hardy also k's, and there are 2 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Markakis gets the O's first hit, ripping a single into RF.

[Chris B]

LET'S GO O'S! LET'S GO O'S! LET'S GO O'S! LET'S GO O'S!

oh god i am so sorry....

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jones grounds out to Callaspo, ending the O's 1st.

[Chris B]
