Ervin Santana starts the night game, so don't think he is already pitching since the Angels are down 6-1.

John Lackey has thrown 65 pitches in two innings. Knowing that Santana is pitching the nightcap, Lackey is going to have to wear it and throw as deep into the game as possible so the bullpen gets some rest, considering they are surely going to be used by the fourth inning in Game 2.

Maybe not, but Santana's track record doesn't really give me - and I'm sure, you - a whole lot of faith that he'll go deep into the night.

Knowing that, Manager Mike Scioscia has not had a single reliever get up to warm up. Lackey is throwing at least 120 pitches today - and right now that projects to the fourth inning.

Maybe Howie Kendrick won't be called up tomorrow and we'll see Marc Gwyn again, knowing that the pitchers might be taxed.
