Angels Starting Pitcher Scott Kazmir will likely face the following lineup in Boston on Sunday Morning. Here is his record against each batter for regular season matchups...
Jacoby Ellsbury - 6 for 20, 1 double, 2 Ks, .650 OPS
Dustin Pedroia - 15 for 29, 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 6 BB, 1 K, 1.393 OPS
Victor Martinez - 5 for 11, all singles, 1 K, .909 OPS
Kevin Youkilis - 9 for 38, 3 doubles, 6 BB, 14 K, .649 OPS
David Ortiz - 9 for 44, 1 double, 2 HR, 6 BB, 11 K, .664 OPS
Jason Bay - 4 for 15, 1 double, 1 HR, 2 BB, 6 K, .886 OPS
Mike Lowell - 10 for 40, 2 doubles, 4 HR, 4 BB, 10 K, .933 OPS
J.D. Drew 1 for 7, 1 triple, 1 BB, 3 K, .900 OPS
Alex Gonzalez - 4 for 10, 1 double, 2 K, .900 OPS
Facing almost this same lineup in Game 2 of the 2008 ALCS, Kazmir surrendered 3 HR, 2 to Pedroia and 1 to Youkilis. He gave up a 2-run double to Bay in the first inning of a 4+ inning start in Tampa Bay on 7 days rest.
In Game 5 of the same series he went 6 innings, gave up 2 hits, no runs, waked 3 and struck out 7. He pitched on his regular 4 days rest.
Kaz will be pitching on 8 days rest in Fenway Park today.

Ah man
Kazmir has two tough acts to follow.
Come on Kazmir! Shut the door on the Red Sox!
Slyintine - October 11, 2009
Almost disheartening
Is a sweep of the Red Sox just too good to be true for the Angels? :(
Go Angels go!
Vlad Dracul - October 11, 2009
He gets through 5 IP
and he’s done his job. The front-end bullpen is probably getting a little antsy in their recent lack of work.
shiftyeyedgoat - October 11, 2009
It's true
Kazmir doesn’t really go deep into games, does he?
Slyintine - October 11, 2009
Just looked it up
He’s only ever pitched a complete game once in his career.
2006 vs Boston: 3-0, 9.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, 120 Pitches.
I would like to see this Kazmir on the mound today, please.
Slyintine - October 11, 2009
There is always the invincible Matt Palmer to pull up the rear.
So I am not that worried.
44FAN - October 11, 2009
Matt Palmer has been a monster long reliever for us
But he has no holds. So I guess we don’t put him in close games?
He’s got a 2.56 ERA in his last 18 appearances. 2-1 record, yet in those appearances, the Angels went 7-11.
So he’s mostly put in when the team is losing.
Slyintine - October 11, 2009
2.45 since July first
in 28 appearances. Wow.
Slyintine - October 11, 2009
just waking up now. 930 am here.
heading to fenway. its chilly here today though. temperature could be a bit of a factor. this city was pretty quiet after friday night. lot of people were pissed at me.
kingfish - October 11, 2009
Pissed at you???
That doesn’t make any sense … unless you’re Papi or Pedroia. In that case, they have a point.
pantsfucious - October 11, 2009
why would it not make sense. Kingfish is the closest thing those sux fans have to vent at for thier failure so far
salmonforever - October 11, 2009
early offensive explosion for the angels today
it will get so bad for the sox, that francona will ask to borrow willits and quinlan to insert into the sox lineup, so they get the full effect of having their asses kicked.
top of the morning to ya, chowds
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 11, 2009
Tick Tock
Couldn’t sleep in this morning… It’s kinda like trying to go to sleep when you know Santa is coming.
HalolessHaloFan - October 11, 2009
I'm the same way...
Woke up at 6:30 am and couldn’t get back to sleep even though this is my day to sleep in…
Jietoh - October 11, 2009
Me too..
The Santa analogy is perfect.
hbhalofan - October 11, 2009
Sitting at work.......
bored outta my mind……already finished everything I needed to do in a whole 45 min.
Yay Me!
Go Halos, bust out the early morning broomage!

Great quote from Hunter
Hunter has mixed feelings about the struggles of Ortiz, one of his best friends in baseball.
"I hate to see him go through that," Hunter said of his former teammate with the Minnesota Twins, "but while he’s going through it, he might was well go through it Sunday, too."
HalolessHaloFan - October 11, 2009
LOL Hula Dula.......media quote rula!
norcaliangelsfan - October 11, 2009
You'll have to help me out here norcali
HH n00b. Been following a while. Thought I’d come out of the shadows and make an ass out of myself today.
HalolessHaloFan - October 11, 2009
welcome!
ladybug - October 11, 2009
thx
HalolessHaloFan - October 11, 2009
Its from last year........
Torii did an interview in which he said he was the Hula Dula Domino Rula because of his dominance in the game over his teammates……..
Hula Dula nickname
norcaliangelsfan - October 11, 2009
and yes....welcome as well!
norcaliangelsfan - October 11, 2009
Thanks and Thanks
sorry ’bout your location :-)
HalolessHaloFan - October 11, 2009

norcaliangelsfan - October 11, 2009
Clinch Morning everyone!
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 11, 2009
Hey Guys Twins fan here
I’d like to personally come by to say good LUCK guys!
Everybody over at “TwinkieTown” is pulling for you guys. All you need is today.
If we don’t beat the Bankees we trust that you guys will TAKE THEM DOWN!
Anyways Good Luck Angels. :)
Percy Harvin My Fav! - October 11, 2009
I'm ready......
let’s do this!!!
ladybug - October 11, 2009
I'd like to know
In my opinion your best player is Torii (but i may be biased lol)
Who do you think you’re best player is?
Percy Harvin My Fav! - October 11, 2009
Right Right
Kendrys pretty underrated.
Another Question: Give me your honest answer Who would you rather play in the ALCS
Bankees or Twins?
Percy Harvin My Fav! - October 11, 2009
TBS doesn't even have a pregame, they are showing Ace Ventura
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 11, 2009
Notice how when the Skankees are on they have a pregame show?
Do Ron Darling and Chip Caray more or less sound dissapointed when the Angels do someting good?
Percy Harvin My Fav! - October 11, 2009
Watch for the Rally Monkey
HalolessHaloFan - October 11, 2009
OT:
I’m drinking chowder right now… :/
vlad IS my man - October 11, 2009
why not throw in a Sam Adams too...........
Judas!
norcaliangelsfan - October 11, 2009
it's OK....they stole it from the French. You are merely reclaiming it in the name of the hAlos
ladybug - October 11, 2009
actually this makes sense...
the Angel fan drinks the remains of Beantown’s life-giving liquid…
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - October 11, 2009
They hire guys that are terrible.
I still can’t believe how obviously biased the network is by hiring TWO OUT OF TWO Red Sox announcers to do this series. I mean C’mon! That be like having Hud and Rory do the series. Though we would like it, it wouldn’t be very balanced.
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 11, 2009
i think only 1 is a Sux announcer
that would be Orsillo, but the other is actually the Orioles announcer…
b0rd3rline - October 11, 2009
He does part time with the Sux
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 11, 2009
So excited for this game
let’s get it done today.
angelsfan777 - October 11, 2009
Not sure if anyone has posted this....
….Scot Kazmir has the second best left handed era in Fenway history since 1945, as a pitcher with more than 10 starts, Kaz is 6-4 with a 3.05. I kinda like our odds
The Furious Bat of Howie47 - October 11, 2009
Sit with Halos of a gentle race, all will be revealed
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 11, 2009
Thanks Guys for all the answers to my questions
and all the praise on my beloved Twinkies.
I’m off for now.
So GOOD LUCK HALOS
PLEASE TAKE DOWN THOSE BO-SOX!
I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL!!!
Signing off,
Percy Harvin My Fav
