Most recent WAKEFIELD postseason career
INN Hit R HR BB SO ERA
2004 LCS 7.1 9 7 1 3 6 8.59
2004 WS 3.2 3 5 1 5 2 12.27
2005 DIV 5.1 6 4 1 1 4 6.75
As u can see Wakefield has struggled Mightly in red sox recent postseasons....... I DO STRONGLY believe that the playoffs are a different animal than the regular season and also that only recent playoff performances are signifcant to their potential outing.... hence I'm not taking into account his horrid end of regular season or playoffs before these last 3 ( they were horrible too)
Now lets look at Recent Byrd post season
Year IP H R HR BB SO ERA
2005 LCS(2 g's)10.2 10 4 1 2 2 3.38
2007 DIV 5.0 8 2 1 2 2 3.60
Not tooo shabby.... u compare his last 3 post season performances vs. wakefield and Paul kills em.... Throw in the fact that Wakefield hasn't pitched since almost a month ago and his back is ailing AND THe WEATHER IS GUNNA BE COLD which will keep him from looseing up and gettin in a groove......
<table class="maincontent2" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="700"> <tbody><tr bgcolor="#ffffcc"><td width="68">
Keeping in mind that the Pub is on the Red Sox not heavily but just enough and the line is movin in the wrong direction as bookies want more BO SOX...
ANOTHER REASOn im takin Cleveland is BOSOX lack of success in the playoffs versus RIGHT HANDED PITCHERS... hitting .249
David Ortiz is the only guy with a good track on RH pitchers but thats the beauty of baseball...1 guy will not beat u
ON the CONTRARY INDIANS HAVE KILLED RIGHTIES IN these plyoffs .294 being dragged down like a motha fuck cuz of casey blake and Cabrera (10 for 47) .212 otherwise every other player on there consistent roster is hittin over .286 5 hitting over .300 U do the math
1) Wakefield sucking in recent postseason
2) Byrd's solid recent postseason
3) TRICKY line movement
4) INdians sucess against righties
5) BO SOX LACK of success against righties
With these 5 REAONS This play is Extremely strong and INDIANs win this one and this will be my Largest PLAY EVER.. not for the FAINT OF HEART!!!!!!
