Playoffs move to Anaheim
United Press International
ANAHEIM, Calif — The American League playoffs between the Boston Red Sox and California Angels switch to Anaheim Stadium tonight for Game 3, and both teams are hoping a change in scenery will inspire some better baseball.
It will be hard for the two teams to play as poorly as they did in Wednesday's 9-2 Boston victory at Fenway Park. The late afternoon starting time in California does not make for ideal playing conditions.
"It's tough to hit at that time of day, especially picking up the rotation of the ball," said Boston's Don Baylor, who used to play for the Angels.
The late afternoon sun also could pose a problem. The midday sun at Fenway Park played havoc with fielders Wednesday and several balls have been lost in the sun in previous late-afternoon playoff competition at Anaheim.
The Angels, happy at games split of the first two games at Fenway Park, will send left-hander John Candelaria to the mound for Game 3 while the Red Sox will counter with right-hander Dennis "Oil Can" Bovd.
Boyd was suspended by the Red Sox at mid-season for jumping the club, then was reinstated and finished with a 16-10 record. He made only one start against the Angels this season and lost 6-2. He has pitched only once at Anaheim Stadium in his career, losing 5-4 last year on July 4.
Candelaria, despite undergoing surgery on his arm in April, posted a 10-2 record and a 2.55 ERA this season but was only 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA against the Red Sox.
Although his arm still gives him trouble from time to time, Candelaria said it would hold up as long as he limited himself to 125 pitches.
"My arm feels better than it has in a while, but it does need some rest," he said. "The most I've thrown in a while is 100 pitches. If I go beyond that, there's the possibility of doing too much."
The 32-year-old had only one complete game in 16 starts this season, so the Angels' bullpen probably will get some work. The bulpen is well-rested, though, having pitched a total of only one inning in the two games.
During the regular season, the Angels won five of the six games against Boston played at Anaheim Stadium. They should have a big advantage at home, especially in the outfield where lack of speed should severely hamper the Red Sox on
defense
Both teams will be trying to recover some lost pride from Wednesday's debacle in Boston.
Errors of commission and omission punctuated the game, and the Angels were especially awful, committing three errors in one inning, losing two balls in the sun and committing a serious base-running blunder
Baylor, though doesn't expect the
"I think it was just one of those days where things didn't go right for them," said Baylor. "You are still looking at some guys who still know how to play the game."
Angels to continue to play that way.
California's Kirk McCaskill, the losing pitcher in Game 2, also expects the Angels' defense to regroup.
