Saw him at Hotel California just down the road last night. -
So your saying we picked up a game on them
-
Hey guys, that was actually a win, pretty sloppy on the Angels side, but our pitching held a Red Sox equivalent team in check and beat them.
-
I would offer that the Sox with Bogey and Betts, not Bacall, would be significantly better. BUT, the deal that Bogaerts got from Padres does not make good sense. Counting on Story to be the guy at SS was a cheaper way to plug the hole when signed in 2022, but Trevor fooled them with the old rag arm joke. In December, when Story's elbow issue came up i would have signed one of the remaining FA true SS's to a a market deal and counted on Story's return to solidify 2nd base. Betts deal from LAD could be justified based on age, and possibly giving him a 5 year opt out.

Hugh, what is your take on Winckowski trying to go beyond 2 innings. I'm sure he is physically capable but some relievers do not do well beyond 2.
-
As mentioned a few times, I live about 50 miles from Anaheim and get all the Angels ( & Dodgers) local TV sports/radio, etc and can confirm to you that there has been a lot of press on the poor defense by the Angels
-
Angels D continues to help. 2 HBP's and a 2 out error result in a run. Didn't see that in Tampa.
-
Time out for a bulletin : This just in, Yu Changs has changed the dynamic of his OBP when he got hit by a pitch, in lieu of the conventional batter hitting the pitch . Chang's OBP and still same OPS is now .125
-
Casas AB #3 : Takes strike 1 ; chases outside the zone and fouls away ; reaches further outside the zone for a pop to 3rd base side. Not exactly the same outcome as the prior 2 K s but very similar sequence. People who actually pitch ( or scout) in MLB have seen this guy and are eating him up with the same stuff and he has not adjusted. Fatse needs to tell him to swing at the first pitch strike to break the routine
-
I think you must be right because that group could not regress much more than they have.
-
Agreed, especially as another LH bat and a limited one at that.
-
Thank you Rafi, it is time to get a win. Someone said Kenley just pulled up in his car and was seen entering the clubhouse for a uniform fitting
-
6 Ks tonight out of 7 official ABs ( 1 BB) from our 6-9 studs, whose combined BA's total .419. This is no sarcasm, just harsh reality. I can see Bloom's analytic staff poring over these incredible numbers and trying to find the trend line
-
I always though Winck would excel in the pen, like you. It was Jad or Jung who didn't like him
-
Guess we showed Hunter who is boss . Bloom was mentally applauding his decision to go with Tapia as a non roster invitee who proved out better than anyone he had named Duran in ST
-
Glad you answered that guys question. He must be new on the board. Erod is someone I do not have on the top of my mind.
-
Houck goes 4 innings, leaving the 6 non closers in the BP with another long relief job. How long will this group of otherwise undistinguished arms be able to go night after night as the totally unready for prime time starters go 4-5 innings.
-
Thanks for the info. Regrettably it is an AB so his legit OBP declines to 1 base for 15 ABs, which our advanced analytics guys will tell us is .066 , mimicing his OPS
-
Does Chang get OBP credit for reaching on an error ? Very hard to keep up with Yu's stats on the wily ways he reaches base.
-
Angels are the West Coast version of the Red Sox, and they also wear red socks
-
I'll give Kike credit for making Angels pay for error on Devers grounder
-
With a LH pitcher at Fenway, I would have expected that in the choice between Casas and Dalbec, Bobby would be playing first tonight. But Cora knows stuff we don't
-
The only difference between Casas's first and second At Bats is that he swung ( missed) at strike 3. Otherwise the pattern was exactly as written previously. The book is out on our big boy, he will take strike 1 and scuffle from there. The real mistake was fouling off a 92mph 4 seam in the center block of the zone.
-
Ironic that with a lineup featuring 6 guys hitting in the mid-low 100's or .000 , we have 2 guys on the bench, Tapia and McGuire, hitting well over .300. Probably why I'm not managing this bunch.
-
90 pitches for 4 innings ?? It is one reason they want him starting vs relieving.
