Stieb the Al Leader in Era was 0-3 against Kansas City. Yankee scout Hank Bauer has seen the royals All season and is very impressed with their pitching. When 1 was playing i did t think much about pitching except when i had to hit it said Bauer. But when 1 became a manager they told me i can have 10 pitch ers and 1 said give me 12. Pitching u 95 per cent of the game. Pitching u what wins for you " the Choice of Leibrandt to Start the opener might raise a few eyebrows but it should t. Aside from Bret Saberhagen he was the royals Best Pitcher this season and. Besides the Blue jays have proved very vulnerable to left handers this year. Leibrandt is no stranger to playoff pres sure.

We played Ihm Lough All year said Herzog. They be got awfully Good Pilch ing. I hate to use excuses but we lost three straight to Ihm after the All Star break and Ihal s not a Good test. You never know How a learn will play right after the break. They re Tough let s face it. They Are used to the pressure. They have a lot of two of baseball s Best left handers Valcon Zuela and Tudor will oppose each other in the opening game. Valenzuela posted a 2.48 Era while Tudor had a 1.93 Era. Tudor won 20 of his last 21 decisions and that loss came against los Angeles on july 19. The matchup pits the dodgers Power against the cardinals Speed. The dodgers hit 42 homers More than the cardinals 129 to 87, but St. Louis stole More than twice As Many bases. St. Louis is a very very Good team added dodger manager Tom Lasorda. The cardinals arc the Best in the league in Hilling and in defense and they have two 21-game winners. It will be a very very exciting
