Does the Angels' pen suck as bad as it did last year? Beltre is back to flailing. 0-7 with the bases loaded. Nice clutch PH by Hermida for the lead. We have to hope the wheels don't come off Dice K's rickshaw.

You are mistaking something. I'm not predicting he will be bad. I don't pretend to have some crystal ball. I have no clue what the future holds nor do I have the hubris to pretend to. I just don't like where the numbers are pointing. It's up to him to correct that. That doesn't mean I don't think he can' date=' but it needs to happen.[/quote']...or he can just continue closing out games with a s***** 1.14 WHIP.

OFFENSE! Hey look' date=' the "Bush leager who doesn't belong at this level" just got another RBI double. Eat it.[/quote']I'm happy for the guy, but I don't get on him when he fails, because he doesn't belong at this level.

I'd be perfectly happy with a 1.2 WHIP and 2.5 K/BB if it comes with an ERA under 2.00 and 35+ saves.

Except that it would be a statistical anomaly if that were to happen, which is exactly the heart of the discussion.

Nah, he has to correct the WHIP and the walks or he sucks.

Which would be a change of direction for the arrow and in line with what I said. Remember, the arrow is pointing down. If he can get it pointing sideways, that's an improvment.

Except that Paps did it last season. In '08 he had a 2.34 ERA to go with his 1.0 WHIP, OH NOSSSSS!!!!!!

 

Until Paps starts blowing saves I'm not worried.
