ALDS: BEA vs ALA Write-Up
Thanks to Mike for the series write-up. Beartooth won 4-0.
Game #1
Jeff Francis (Beartooth) faced Dustin McGowan (Alabama) in game 1. Beartooth teed off for two shots, one by Rowand and another by ARod. Alabama countered with three longballs, two by Prince and one by Alex Ramirez. The game was back and forth until Beartooth scored two in the bottom of the sixth on a single by Junior and then two more in the eighth on a Kelly Johnson triple and an ARod sac fly. Beartooth's bullpen shut down Alabama to hold onto the victory.
Game #2
Aaron Cook (Bearooth) vs John Smoltz (Alabama). Despite being slightly outmatched in the SP department, Beartooth jumped out and all over Smoltz, chasing him by the third inning and held on with a very strong performance by Cook. Final: 6-3 Beartooth.
Game #3
Kyle Lohse (Beartooth) vs Roy Oswalt (Alabama)This game started out as a pitcher's duel with Alabama finally getting to Lohse in the bottom of the 4th on a Ramon Castro two run double. Beartooth didn't let that go unanswered as they knocked Oswalt out in the top of the fifth. The big play in that inning was a Prince Fielder error that loaded the bases with no outs. Beartooth's superb pitching (Lohse thru 6 and 1/3 then Fultz, Corpass, and Greinke) shut Alabama down with only one run in the final 5 innings for an 8-3 victory.
Game #4
Mark Buehrle (Beartooth) vs Andy Pettite (Alabama)Alabama scored one in the bottom of the first to take a short lived lead. Beartooth then jumped all over Pettite in the second to score 4 and take the lead. Pettite then got it back together to keep Beartooth scoreless until the 6th but Alabama couldn't solve Mark Buerhle as he pitched one run ball through 8 innings. Beartooth came back to score five runs spread out over the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings to record a 9-1 victory in sweeping the Braves.
I was very worried by Alabama's starting pitching as was surprised to score so easily against them. Next year looks fairly bright for Alabama however as they add Rich Harden to their staff and their lineup looks to be better. Mike
