10/05: This is What the Texas Boys Came Back For
Posted by: Patrick
(Pettitte was born in Louisiana and Clemens was born in Ohio, but bear with me). This is what Pettitte and Clemens came back for, right? We're down a game and they are pitching back to back starts and can help us get the upper hand in this series with a pair of solid outings. The last time that either pitched in the postseason was in the 2005 World Series, where Clemens pitched game 1 and Pettitte pitched game 2. Clemens had 3 earned runs, 0 walks and 1 strikeout over 2 innings and Pettitte had 2, 0 and 4 through 6.
A good performance would be them combining for 13 solid innings over the next 2 games. 13 innings, 6 ER or less, I'd say. That would give us 3 innings of Joba and 2 innings of Mo. And, hopefully, 2 victories.
