Add Josh Beckett to the list.
That's now 5 consecutive post season games where the Angels have not seen a reliever.
Beckett only threw one complete game all season and it was an 8-inning 1-0 loss at Cleveland.
Daisuke Matsuzaka starts in Game 2 of the series on Friday. He too has only thrown one complete game this season. Does he dare be the pitcher who breaks the streak?
I'm not sure what to think. I'm not ready to jump off the bridge and call Mike Scioscia the Marty Schottenheimer of baseball, but unless they show some offensive signs of life on Friday, the powers behind "Angel Baseball" might want to revamp the blueprint.
