PrintGame Thread - Mariners at Angels - Jarrod Washburn vs. Kelvim Escobar - 7:05pm
Jarrod hasn't won a game on the road yet, and Kelvim has pitched better than his record indicates. If the Angels can provide Kelvim some defense and a little offense, We might hear a post-game interview go something like this...
Intentionally Altered Movie Lines:
Mike Scioscia: We're very lucky on this team in that we have two visionaries, Vlad and Kelvim, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the organization is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.

Halos Heaven/Angels Blog Meet Up
All -
Been talking with HeyLegacy about this idea, of a meet-up for drinks, food, typical tomfoolery at a sports bar somewhere in the OC while the Halos are out of town. I will "volunteer" to handle the "logistics" of getting the place alerted, etc.... The dates we were thinking are:
Tuesday June 20 v. San Francisco or
Friday June 23 v. Arizona
My email is listed if you click on my name, please feel free to shoot me an email if you're interested and I'll set the whole thing up.

Good 5 and 10

Thanks, Kramer

Friday Night Fights...Oh, Wait, Line-Ups
Tonight's line-ups for your Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim) and the Seattle Mariners:
Mariners:
Suzuki - RF - .362
Beltre - 3B - .229
Lopez - 2B - .268
Ibanez - LF - .289
Sexson - 1B - .215
Everett - DH - .248
Johjima - C - .268
Reed - CF - .216
Betancourt - SS - .292
Washburn - P - 4.50
Finally, a team with a team BA of under .300
Halos:
Figgins - CF - .254
Cabrera - SS - .296
Anderson - LF - .282
Guerrero - RF - .324
Salmon - DH - .271
Morales - 1B - .279
Napoli - C - .323
Quinlan - 3B - .244
Kennedy - 2B - .273
I'd rather see "O'"Murphy in CF and Figgy at 3B, but....Mike is the boss.
my new pavlovian reaction
i upchuck just a small bit of stomach juice every time i see Quinlan's name in the lineup.
McPherson
I'd like to see Dallas get some AB against lefties (and Washburn seems like a good candidate, as he's not exactly known for big sweeping curveballs), just to find out if he'll ever be more than a platoon player.
Quinlan has done pretty much nothing lately. With Maicier Izturis due back momentarily, though, I don't see Quinlan getting many more opportunities.
agree about dallas
I think Sosh takes the righty/lefty thing too far sometimes. Once he decides someone is only good against one or the other, bam, that's it, they never get another chance to prove they can hit both. How are these youngsters ever supposed to turn into everyday players if they don't get ABs? Its just going to make him worse against leftys if all he ever sees is rightys.
R/L irony
the irony of scioscia's righty-lefty obsession is that he made the opposite argument for why the angels didn't have a lefty reliever for so many years. and i agreed with him: if the righties are getting lefties out, then there's no need for a lefty! likewise, if lefty batters can hit righties, then put 'em in!
Quinlan's career against lefties
.315/.357/.509, in 222 ABs. Sitting 25% of the time shouldn't stunt Dallas' growth too much, and we do have a division to win. Quinlan should never face a RHP for the rest of his life, agreed, but a platoon w/ Dallas will be very effective.
Fireworks Friday...all kinds!
Halos: 6/11
M's: 4/8
M's: 4/8
Let's keep things going, here is our opportunity in the next 10 games to get completely back into it.
Let's go Halos!
uh...extra innings?
Ok, extra innings says "Game 1/4" for the game...nothing on Game 1, an extra innings game on Game 4. WTF?
oh, nevermind
I thought the cubs/reds were going to the 10th, but its 6-4 bottom of the 9th.
I have the same thing....
I think they're not on 1 because the Yanks are in a rain delay.
Ok Cincy
Just get a hit and end it already. These walks are taking too long.
Oh no! No pitching change!
ooooh
Rangers and Sox play a doubleheader tomorrow. Here's hoping the Sox hitters get hot tomorrow.
Hillenbrand just hit another HR
Hitting over .400 from the 7th inning on.
Washburn
I will purely hate it if Wash pitches well in this game. He never could get it together to pitch well in Anaheim when he was an Angel.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
the insight of Hudler
after washburn broke salmon's bat for a groundout:
"...looks like Washburn just gave his ol' pal Salmon a jam sandwich."
Napoli
The Angels were hitting quite crappily
When Stoneman promoted Mike Napoli
He homers and walks
So his bat really talks
And now Angels fans all go home happily.

Howie Kendrick
1-1, .406 average.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Should have been an error
That was right at him.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
that
was a terrible call from 3rd...dino ebel isnt that bad!
that's some poor 3rd base coaching right there
nice relay though
I cannot believe
they turned that into an out.
Carlos Garcia giftwrapped an out.
That ball was assuredly NOT off the wall. Bad read by Figgy.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Bad throw by Napoli
Not terrible, though.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Is it just me
or has Kelvim started to suck once he signed his extension?
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
hes had
1 start..and hasnt given up a run yet today...
This is his second start
since signing.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Apparently
throwing behind doesn't work.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Beat me to it
He's just amazing. And just scored the first Bees run.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
That sucked
When Vlad isn't working, he can be really, really bad.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
The only thing worse
than watching the Angels struggle is listening to Phys and Hud talk about it....
Not that it helps so much
but they made Wash throw a few pitches. 57 pitches at the end of three. The M's have a good bullpen, tho.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
His K/9 has been down a point this year
Worrisome.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
At least Vlad hustled
After pulling a Figgins.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
WTF is up with Vlad's fielding this year?
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
yea
he always had little lapses..but this year hes having one alot more often..like almost every game
Charged as a WP
but I have to wonder: why didn't Napoli try to block that rather than backhanding it?
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
He had no chance to block
It was too bar away from him.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
Are
Escobar and Vlad having a pissing contest on the field? Vlad has made a couple of errors while Escobar has been pitching and in turn Escobar threw the wild pitch to let Vlad's run score.
Escobar
Has struck out roughly 18% of batters faced.
Other years:
- 26% (but it should be higher for relieving)
- 22%
- 20% (some relief)
- 24% (all relief)
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
Myabe Just Maybe
The vaunted arsenal of Kelvim's various pitches needs to be trimmed in order for him to GREAT at throwing 3 of them insted of good and very good at throwing 8 of them....
Erstad conveniently grounds out
leaving the leadoff spot for Kendrick in the next inning. .500 here we come!
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
You KNOW if the Angels had re-signed him
Washburn would be 0-9 at home by now.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
it's too bad....
our superstar and best hitter is our worst fielder.
Scary to think that
a 2-5 night would actually pull down his average.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
haha
i hadn't thought about it like that..but it is definately true
scoring question
how many ERs should Escobar have right now?
Depends
on whether you like the WP call and the error on Vlad.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
official score wise
CBS says he has 3 ERs but that can't be right.
nick adenhart
pitched a pretty good game today..is there any reason hes not been moved up yet?
The Angels haven't proven very aggressive
at pushing guys up the ladder. Wood stayed at Rancho a full year while Kendrick got booted to Arkansas midway through the season. I guess that means it matters who the player is.
Beltre was on the bag, BTW.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
One other thing
Adenhart is a HS pitcher on his first full year coming back from Tommy John surgery. They're going to go easy on the kid (who, by the way, is having an exemplary year for a kid in his first full year of pro ball after an injury. Sheesh.)
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Yo quiero Nick Adenhart
I'd definitely drive out to Rancho if he got promoted.

In other news
Chone Figgins still sucks.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Thank god
A Bubba Crosby moment.

Horrific route
by Ibanez on Vladdi's double ... but it's nice to see the Impaler getting back some of what he gave away.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
Damn That Tim Salmon
Man, that guy sucks! Trade 'im!

Bit of a wandering strike zone today
That pitch wasn't a strike last inning.

Minor league ump
up for this game ... I've been underwhelmed thus far.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
Figgins' catch
almost made up for a lot of the suckage he's had at CF lately.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Can we trade AK yet?
Howie seems ready, he's got 400 reasons why.
I've got a bunch in the attic
Drop a line with a mailing address.

I was almost excited there for a moment
but he hooked it too much.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Waiting for the third true outcome
Still no homer from Napoli. Close, though.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
All of a sudden
Kendry Morales sucks at the plate, but he's pretty good with the glove.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Jeremy Reed's
crappy year has really come out of nowhere. Yikes.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
Nice bang-bang play!
And a 1-2-3 inning for Kescy.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Nate Bland
sux. 5-4 Tacoma, and they're anything but a good-hitting team.
Or maybe I should say SS Juan Brito sucks. Man, with as many quality SS prospects as the Angels have, you'd think they'd have a decent one fielding at Salt Lake.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
where's
macier..but i guess aybar should be the one thats there right now
Interestinly
Nate Sux is rather bland.

Jebus
Lame hustle, Kennedy. Do you feel HK-47's hot breath?
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Two outs into the bottom of the 7th
and we're just hearing that Ztu was activated today. Jeez, nice coverage, superclowns.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
jeez
erstads numbers are so pathetic in triple a..i feel bad for him
He needs surgery
and to admit his season is effectively over.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
my guess
is he would definately do that now if he weren't a FA after this season
So what do you do?
If he doesn't have the surgery, he has to explain hitting .100 in a hitter's park and a hitter's league. No way the Angels put him back into a struggling lineup.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
id give him a two weeks or so
to start hitting in triple a if not he needs to just have surgery or whatever else he needs to do and get healthy...or maybe..hes just done..sadly
Right down the middle belt high
This ain't Dodger Stadium.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Assuming
Escy's night is done and we don't come back, in his last five games he'll be 0-5 with a 4.05 ERA.
That's some bad luck ... and his defensive support has been about as good as his offensive support.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. -Gene Mauch
our defense
really sucks for him consistently..i think theres something to that..i havent checked but id guess he leads the league in unearned runs..any thoughts?
I have a theory
Though the M's suck, they yet have the Angels' number.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
at some point
we're gonna have to start sweeping shitty teams if we wanna win the division
Q makes two good plays
None of this makes up for Vlad's Bill Buckner imitation, though.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
what a bad game
we continue to play terrible against shitty teams. WTF is up with that?
Ouch! @#$%
M's have won 5 of 7 vs the Halos this year
