Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 85/162

I wanted it noted for the record

Earlier today, when people were running down Colon, I said this...

I'm not sure you can stick a fork in Colon yet
I1) the fork could sink deep into his body and you'll never retrieve it.

(2) He's got his control, it's just a question of getting his velocity back up. I don't the Angels would be putting him out there every 5th day if they didn't think it was going to come back.

(3) Not having his plus fastball makes him extremely hittable because the batters don't have to worry about his best pitch, but the more his fastball's velocity comes up, he'll get closer and closer the Colon of 2005.

People have to remember, throwing high 90s, you've got to be strong, and his being out has taken that away, but not necassarily forever. The next month is crucial. He doesn't have to get back to 2005 Colon immediately, but if the number on the radar gun starts ticking back up, he's on his way and may be back to his old self in the late summer and the playoffs, and it's always handy to have a CY Young type pitcher around that time of year.

btw..... check out the lifetime batter versus pitcher splits for Loiza and the Angel players. Virtually every Angel has used this guy for batting practice over the years, and that includes the years Loiza was actually a good pitcher.

re: commando

I am also a fan of this way of life. Except when you're in hot, humid climates. You become too vulnerable to "Batwing", something no man wants to experience.

by ladybug on Jul 6, 2006 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions

before it was Slide Bar...

...it was a coffeehouse called the Hub. two guys owned it, and i think they opened the 80s arcade together, as well. then one of them split and opened the Continental, while the other changed the Hub to Slide Bar.

One of the two guys is

is named Sean Frances, not sure about the other dude. I'm pretty sure that the other guy who owned the hub, which was was a really cool place, was bought out. Then, with a silent partner Sean opened Continental (my fav bar in F-Town) and then teamed up with a the band Lit (hence the the ridiculous local pop-punk themed regalia) to open Slide Bar.

I'll admit

That I never saw that one coming. It's only one game, but you were certainly right for a day, and maybe more. It's all about location & movement. 91 with movement is a lot harder to hit than 95 and straight (see, e.g., Maddux, Glavine, etc.) Bart's first shutout since he was an Expo (!) is nothing to sneeze at.

youre not. however, you have good reason to be. i think this series basically makes or breaks our season. if we sweep, we're probably looking at 1 game out of first, but if we get swept, we're back to 7 games back all of a sudden. (i think. i'm sure someone will correct me on this.)
