" here for fox sports stock come working at for game five at Angels stadium on Thursday night alongside Ken Rosenthal can. Pitching matchup AJ Burnett on for the Yankees John Lackey for the halos your thoughts on the match."

" First off John Lackey. This could be his final start as an Angel. A free agent at the end of the year he's going to be hottest pitcher on the free agent market starting pitcher and I would imagine there will be some emotions flowing for him. But first the the baseball game this season that is not over yet for the Angels and Lackey that will pitch well is that guy that. For me is underrated. Question is can the Angels that -- against AJ Burnett. They have really struggled as a team offensively -- post season and Burnett handled them pretty well except for one inning in game two. He should be used with a three games to one lead I expected that because well -- I expect the Angels break out of this how to they get their offense. Christian I don't know the answers that and actually it's just a matter of treaty to bat as rested that not worry about what happens so far. But the yankees' pitching -- had a lot to do with their offensive struggles. If he -- it twice in four games if -- when he was pretty good age it was good so. It starts with what's going on the mound but clearly Chone Figgins and ready you. And everyone really in the lineup with very few exceptions. They've got to get it going somehow and on the story can even happens point."

" Yeah Abreu looks like the played -- Abreu Spanish for rally killer how much that. Offensively Alex Rodriguez no -- with him -- post season homer -- three in this series he's hitting bonds seems like every time becomes the plate he's gonna go deep. How do you handle he should they just pitch around. It might be a good idea at this point Christian certainly pitching to him is not going very well at all and yet he is through the bonds treatment this point. There is really knows and -- giving -- anything of consequence -- I know the Yankees lineup -- nine is very deep but Perkins. With somebody else -- one of the things that neither team can control the intangible is the umpiring this series. Not the most fluid of umpiring by the crew this series what are your thoughts on how things being done on the field. We've -- issues the."

" Tie a post season and a couple things worth noting -- history degree of the road on foxsports.com. A few days back. There -- at least a dozen umpires that are not available to work in the post season due to physical issues that includes seven crew Chiefs. Now I called Mike port Major League baseball's vice president of umpire asked about this -- There's no use for the -- calls but the same time there also are rules that restrict. The use of the best umpires in the post season. Those rules include the prohibition according to the umpires collective bargaining agreement. Of umpires from working back to back postseason series and back to back World Series now. This ABA expires at the end of the season. It's going to be very interesting museum Major League Baseball approaches this with the umpires union and they try to get some things changed. And one final question will you not be going back with the Angels. For this series. I'd have to say -- at this point and the Eagles had a great season it's hard for anyone really see them like this. They were came so much than it hard tragedy into all the things that happened the pitching beyond that even. And yet right now it just looks like the overmatched. I'd be surprised that goes back to New York. And it it does I'd be surprised that the Angels went X games we will be there along -- waiting for the World Series. Game five on fox Thursday night for -- Christian will see that."
