Game Thread - Angels at White Sox at 5:05 pm (Pacific) on FSW
Ervin "Black Magic" Santana versus Charlie "Tim Wakefield" Haeger

Star-divide

The bandwagon of former Cubs and Blackhawks fans will be filling Kid Gleason Stadium to watch their team in all its trendy glory, this time with a knuckleballing rookie making his ML debut

Scouting Report
Some Angel Batters Against Tim Wakefield
Garret 18/57 .959 ops
Vladdie 6/13 2.073 ops
Rivera 3/7 1.000 ops
Tim Salmon 12/48 .778  ops

Maybe Ozzie Guillen will shoot off his stupid mouth before the game and the White Sox will host an Ozzie Demolition Night and the team will forfeit the final two games of the series. Remember when the White Sox wore shorts as part of their day game uniform? No uglier than Ozzie's mouth.

Weather
Not sure how the weather affects a knuckleball.  It could really be dancing if there are wind currents...and that could make it unhittable, either because of movement, or because it winds up nowhere near the plate.

Angels gotta win sometime.

My rant
Here's a version of my anti-Hatcher rant that I posted over at 6-4-2...

Well, it's not anti-Hatcher per se, but it calls his skills as a hitting coach into question.

Two things stand out to me with respect to the Angels' hitters. One, the hitters look like they have no plan. Last night, Phys & Hud were talking about a pregame meeting Hatcher had with the hitters, talking about having a plan when they go to bat. Clearly, they did not pick up on the message in time for yesterday's game.

Afterwards, Hud (who, incidentally, is sounding more & more like a real analyst this season...what's up with that?) was discussing a McPherson AB where Garcia started him out 3-0.  He took a strike, which was fine.  The 3-1 pitch was a fastball over the heart of the plate, & Dallas watched it for strike 2.  Hud pointed out that he HAS to be sitting on that pitch.  Especially when you're a young hitter, prone to the K, you're probably not going to get a 3-2 fastball.  You've got to expect the fastball at 3-1, and swing if you get it.  Walks are all well & good, and if that 3-1 pitch is a breaking ball, it's probably better to take it & hope it misses.  But if you get the fastball, that's the one to attack.  That should be part of your plan when you go to the plate - understanding situations and what to expect, and acting accordingly.

I've often wondered what a ML-level hitting coach actually does. I mean, you don't make it to the big leagues as a position player (except maybe catcher) if you don't know how to hit - you can't learn to hit at the major-league level. So, it's not as though these guys are teaching anything.

So what is it that they do? Go over film & try to identify tendencies, spot flaws, etc?

And if one of the hitting coach's responsibilities is helping the batters to develop the so-called plan, then it's pretty obvious that Hatcher (a) doesn't give them a good plan, (b) is unable to effectively communicate the plan, or (c) is able to formulate and communicate plans, but the hitters are all too inept to implement them. Option (c) seems the least likely.

I assume that some hitting coaches are better than others. What are the traits and qualities of the good ones? Does Hatcher possess those attributes?

I don't know.

That said, many have criticized the Angels' organizational player development philosophy, which has been to shy away from players with good strike zone recognition and on-base ability.

Another thing I've observed, and maybe it's perception more than reality, is that nobody on the team is hitting the ball hard. Everything is hit rather meekly. They're not just hitting rockets right at people; that would indicate bad luck, which tends to even out over time. None of these guys is able to hit the ball with any authority. They can't all be hurt. Even Vlad has basically turned into a singles hitter.

If Hatcher is not at least partly to blame, then what is the cause?

Oops
Another 1-2-3 inning. Swing at everything. Sit down.

I don't give much credence to what batting coaches bring to the table, but let me say this: firing Mickey Hatcher won't change anything, but it would be symbolic.

good luck charm
During our last win I got so disgusted that I got on the treadmill in the late innings, and we won.  Tonight, when we were up 6-5 I did the same.  I got off the treadmill just in time to see Quinlan's double and Molina's 2 run dinger.  

It's my new version of the rally monkey.  Hopefully it continues to work because we'll be in first and I'll end up in shape!

I say...
don't use Frankie in the 9th.  Wet mounds are not good for his crazy ass delivery.

I say
Put Yan in...if they start to come back, just stall until the rain washes the field away.

Two down
Whew.

I'm torn as to whether I want this game to be called on account of rain. If they do, it maybe saves an injury. But also if they do, J-Mo loses his dinger.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
