Today's Red Sox lineup »
October 7, 2007
Angels manager Mike Scioscia just completed his brief daily news conference.
**Vlad Guerrero, who was hit in the back of the left shoulder by Red Sox relief pitcher Manny Delcarmen in Game Two on Friday, will be playing right field today. Scioscia said Guerrero is "a little stiff" but he feels fine.
**Angels' Casey Kotchman is out of the lineup today with a non-baseball related medical condition, according to Scioscia.
**Scioscia wasn't about to give away any secrets regarding his club's approach against Curt Schilling today.
"Curt's a veteran pitcher," said the manager. "He's not throwing as hard as he did a couple of years ago, but he still has the ability to command the baseball as well as anybody in the game today."
"He can change speeds, he has a good split, we'll see a mix in the slider and breaking balls," added Scioscia. "That's how he was when he was throwing the ball 95 MPH and that's how he's throwing the ball now."
