http://soxblog.projo.com/2009/08/sox-flip-rotati.html The Red Sox have made a change to their pitching rotation, flipping Brad Penny and Yankee-killing lefty Jon Lester and giving Lester a chance to face New York in a battle for first place in the Bronx next weekend. 為了寶座，殺基也用牛刀 Lester had been scheduled to pitch Wednesday, but that would have next sent him to the mound Monday, Aug. 10 against the Tigers. Instead, the team is taking advantage of Monday's off-day to tinker with the rotation. Now, Lester will pitch Tuesday against Tampa, and will then take his 3.43 career ERA and 3-0 record vs. New York to the Yankee stadium mound on Sunday. 生涯 vs 基基 3-0, 3.43 ERA "The good thing is I think his track record in the Bronx is that the Bombers haven't been bombing much," said teammate Mike Lowell. "I think it's a good move, especially with the day off to flip the rotation that way so he can get two starts." 賣肉說 FB 要擺 Lester has said he enjoys the flak he takes at Yankee Stadium, and gets a kick out of pitching there. While that's certainly a factor, Lowell said the heavily left-handed Yankee lineup is susceptible to Lester's lefty power pitching. 列斯特面對大砲部隊時很引橋衣 "The Yankees have a lot of letfies in lineup. We can switch the switch hitters back to hit right-handed and have that favorable lefty-lefty matchup. I think it's a good play. It's a good play if we win and he pitches well. We'll see how it pans out," Lowell said. 賣肉說讓基基站在右打區就對了 Penny now faces off against Rays rookie David Price on Wednesday. 下駟對上駟 -- t a ╭◢ ═ ◣╮ ╭ ◣ ═══◢◆ ════ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ theanswer3 h n ║█ █ ╰═════╯ █ ● █ ● ◢█◣ █ █ █◥█ ◢╱◥╴║ e s ║█◣ █▌◢█◣ ◢ ◢ █◢◤ ◣ █ ◣ ◥◣◥ ◢◤ █ █ ∠\▋▆ ║ w ║◥██ ◤█▌█ █◢█ ██◣ █ █ █ ◣◥◣ ◢◤ █◣█ ║ e ║ █▌ ◥█◤ ◥◤◥ █ ◥ ◥ █ ◥ ◥█◤ ███ ◥█◤ <＜ ║ r 3╰═◢ ◤════════◥ ═══◆◤════════════════╯ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.73.231
