Beckett Expects To Be Sharper Against Rays
11th October, 2008 - 6:40 pm
Hartford Courant - Red Sox starter Josh Beckett hopes to be sharper against the Rays in the ALCS than he was against Los Angeles in the ALDS.

"I definitely think the last five days have kind of gotten a little more normal as far as being able to do everything that I generally do," Beckett said.

Beckett allowed four earned runs in five innings against the Angels in Game 3 of the ALDS.

"Some of that is just trying to get a consistent arm slot," Manager Terry Francona said. "As he gets comfortable, I wouldn't be shocked if his velocity goes up. If you're in that same slot and you're throwing without effort, instead of muscling, you're probably going to get a mile [per hour] or two by being smooth and staying in your delivery." [READ]
