hawkubes Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 got tix to the Fri. and Sat. games vs. the Twins next week. As far as I know the starting pitchers are still up in the air for those games. I'm assuming Contreras will go Friday, and although its very encouraging that Colon put up a great performance to end spring, I'm really hoping Buehrle goes again next Saturday. Wondering what everyone thinks about who will be pitching next weekend, assuming Monday's game takes place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Liriano would be Saturday or Sunday...he's getting the OD start instead of Baker, who's now on the DL. Should be: MON: Buehrle vs. Meche WED: Floyd vs. Greinke THUR: Danks/Contreras vs. Kyle Davies FRI: Danks/Contreras vs. RA Dickey (knuckleballer) SAT: Colon vs. Liriano SUN: Buerhle vs. Blackburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 That Dickey game is going to be hilarious. Anyone else remember when he and the M's came to the Cell when we had Griffey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Liriano would be a lock for Saturday's game. The Twins may opt to give him the extra day of rest just like the Sox may do with Buehrle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:23 PM) blackburn man-handles us. He was 2-3 with a 4.86 ERA against the Sox in 2008. 15 K's vs. 12 BB's in 33 innings; a 1.59 WHIP. And we had a .308 batting average against him.

caulfield12 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I like the idea of Contreras against the Royals and Danks against the Twins (building off the final game last season)....I don't know about the career numbers, but Jose (seemingly) has pitched better against the Royals than most AL teams in his career. It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the knuckleball in such cold weather conditions...he will give up 5 walks and 7 runs or pitch a shutout it seems. However, it seems like it should be at least 45-55 or maybe even 60 by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
