Oct. 14 GAME 4 – ALCS 2008

Andy Sonnanstine (1-0, 3.18 @ Tim Wakefield (0-0, -.–) Fenway Park (Boston, MA) 8:07 PM EDT, TBS 2B Akinori Iwamura RF J.D. Drew CF B.J. Upton 2B Dustin Pedroia 1B Carlos Pena DH David Ortiz 3B Evan Longoria 3B Kevin Youkilis LF Carl Crawford LF Jason Bay DH Willy Aybar 1B Mark Kotsay C Dioner Navarro CF Coco Crisp RF Fernando Perez C Kevin Cash SS Jason Bartlett SS Jed Lowrie

GAME NOTES: Jacoby finally gets benched. Tito says it’s time to win and he made the move out of urgency. Also says Drew is leading off because of his OBP and Sonnanstine has allowed only one stolen base all season, so speed isn’t crucial. Coco is seventh because he’s more of a free swinger, so they want him comfortable doing that and not leading off. Just Win.
