World Series Champions felling Warm Pretty
The Yankees Played the Philadelphia Phillies on March 5,2004,at Legends Field In Tampa, Fla.It would habe been plaued.But the phillies pitcher chaned that.He was cole Hamels,then 20,a first round draft pick in 2002 who had played in class A the year before.In the second inning,Hamels Struck out Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Tony Clark in order, each on a changeup, the pitch that would become his signature.
But ar some point, you bave to think Pettitte first baseman Ryan Howard and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguz will emerge from their slow world Series starts and runs will come in bunches for both teams.
However, if left-handers Andy Phillies and Cole Hamels are at the top of their games, the hitters are in for another long night in the City of Brotherly Love.
Amaro played for the phillies …but also for the Indians and angels. He said there’s definitely a line of demarcation between the leagues.
“Oh, it’s different. A totally different brand of baseball,”he said.” There’s so much less thought into the game in the American League. You just grip and rip it. There’s not a whole lot of strategy. There are so many different nuances[in the NL] that present themselves. When do You take the pitcher out? Do you pinch-hit for this guy? What is this going to do to your bullpen? Those sorts of things. Matchups become more important.”
NO matter what, the next three games should tite in the phillies favor. Just not quite so much if Matsui can start in right.
