Major League Baseball playoffs 2015: Lackey’s no-hit bid ends in sixth inning
Lackey holds the upper hand in the season series between the two clubs, winning two out of three starts-St.
The 36-year-old Lackey outdid Lester, with whom he formed a potent 1-2 punch on the 2013 Red Sox, the team that knocked off the Cardinals in the World Series. “I’m definitely going to have to be all over the place, changing speeds and hope for the best“. You know, obviously coming here with the Red Sox in “13 and playing these guys is a little bit different than coming in as a division rival, so it’s going to be fun”.
NEW YORK (AP) – The Chicago Blackhawks are looking for their first victory of the National Hockey League season Friday night in their first road game. Overall in his playoff career, Lester holds a 6-4 record with a 3:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a sub-3.00 ERA, and those numbers pop to 3-0, 4.5:1 and a frugal 0.43 once you get to the World Series. Chicago is pumped up.
“I really anticipate that we’re going to have our feet on the ground”. Kyle Schwarber flexed his hitting muscles early and often, singling to left field to score Dexter Fowler in the top of the first followed by a two run home run in the third to add to the lead. Teams like the Blue Jays that are bursting on to the scene from the bleak AL East; or the Astros, who had not planned on being in contention as they double booked their stadium in October. “Everybody hates us because we’re so good”, a woman said.
“They put together an unbelievable plan”, he said. The pitcher certainly finds it amusing that he will be facing a familiar face in this game.
You can hear both NLDS games on KBAI today.
‘They’re the best team in baseball, right? But this season the team can actually do something about it, and at the expense of the Cardinals too, which would be all the more satisfying for their fans. He is 7-5 in 21 playoff appearances with a 3.08 ERA. However, I just want to talk about two of them.
“I thought his fastball was about as good as we’ve seen”, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
The Cubs are set to play their first playoff game in Wrigley Field on Monday afternoon, and tickets aren’t the only thing in high demand in Wrigleyville. That’s who I wanted to meet was Eddie Spiezio.
Now, Maddon is leading the Cubs into St. Louis and looking to knock off the local favorites as Game 1 of the NLDS approaches Friday evening. I learned a lot from him in Boston. The whole group (is) tremendous. “Maybe I don’t hit my home run if he doesn’t come through with that one“.
