dont necessarily disagree with the line, but what do you think 'carries the weight' so to speak? obviously its probably a combination of things.
but are you of the belief that pettite is the better pitcher?
simply more experience on the mound for the yanks tomorrow?
essentially a must-win for the yanks?
what do you think?
well if yanks would of won tonight game would of been pick so if game value prob on cleveland........i think yanks win and i am no yankee fan i will need cleve for a lung tomorrow........adj series looks right i would of made cleve -130...............so in conclusion i have no answer
In 24 post season starts, Pettite is 18-6.
He's known as a "stopper". I don't have the #'s but it was something ridiculous this year and past years with New York where when his team is on a 3 game losing streak he always pitches solid and turns the momentum around. He knows how to step it up. There's a specific stat for it this year which is an eye opener if I can find it.
Yankees have struggled against LHP all year as showcased tonight. Right handed Carmona is a live arm but he has no experiance in these spots, and well inexperianced altogether. Remember this is first year as a starter, he didn't work well in late game situations as a reliever last year - does that say something about how he works under pressure? Maybe.
Those that say experiance might not matter or that these situations don't change how you pitch, two words: JOSH BECKETT.
