10/15: Re-Gain Control

Oct. 15 GAME 3 – ALCS 2007

Daisuke Matsuzaka (0-0, 5.79) @ Jake Westbrook (0-1, 10.80) Jacobs Field (Cleveland, OH) 7:07 PM EDT, FOX 2B Dustin Pedroia CF Grady Sizemore 1B Kevin Youkilis 2B Asdrubal Cabrera DH David Ortiz DH Travis Hafner LF Manny Ramirez C Victor Martinez 3B Mike Lowell 1B Ryan Garko RF J.D. Drew SS Jhonny Peralta C Jason Varitek LF Kenny Lofton CF Coco Crisp RF Trot Nixon SS Julio Lugo 3B Casey Blake

GAME NOTES: Time to regain control of the series. A win and a stellar performance from Matsuzaka would change the entire complexity of the series. It’s up to Matsuzaka- if he controls the strike zone, throws a variety of pitches over and keeps the ball down success will result. If not, we could be digging ourselves a deep hole with Coin Flip Wakefield tomorrow. Quieting the rowdy Jake crowd from the first inning is key. Offense: keep rolling……and WIN.
