L.A. Angels of Anaheim GAME 58/162 THREAD

SUNDAY AFTERNOON Game Thread - Maryland Ornithology @ Angels - 12:30 PM
Jeremy GUTHRIE versus Ervin SANTANA

Star-divide

You may also post your O.P.D. Guesses in this thread.

Guthrie is  a bright spot for the Orioles pitching staff that we can hopefully stain.
Ervin is the most popular topic on this website, a veritable Halosphere Paris Hilton if you will, minus the DUI...

Random Song Lyrics
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realize you're not comin' back anymore.

Garret Anderson is back to play LF and DH. Counting today, there are four games left with a DH prior to nine straight interleague road games.

They seem to be seeing the ball better.
Second time through the order I suspect we'll see more offense.

He's already used more pitches this inning vs. first 2 innings combined.

by melvintoast on Jun 3, 2007 1:14 PM PDT reply actions  

SIT KATRINA
The dude just looks absolutely lost at the plate.  His swing is terrible, and it's a wonder that he actually has managed 3 homeruns.

it means they are smart and when the batter following the long AB gets a hit it means that guys is smart too.

Yeah
But at any point in that at bat, did you expect anything more than a popup, groundout to the pitcher, strikeout, or bloop single?  He is showing no ability to drive the ball.

Maybe a trip to AAA would give him a kick in the rear? Aybar has shown that he can hold his own at this level...

by Rev Halofan on Jun 3, 2007 2:08 PM PDT reply actions  

Howie to sl
its nice that the Angels have that luxury.  Hatcher can only massage his ego so much.  I agree, a little tough love may be in order.  Competition is good and Kendrick's performance could improve if he knows he doesn't have season seats between 1st and 2nd base

that was homerun number 350 and 1100 rbi for his career. bootcheck gets the win, whos rising as one of my favorite pitchers to watch.

Bootcheck
His best was that curveball to strike out Sammy Sosa looking.  Ever since then I've enjoyed watching him.  I think it raised his confidence also.

Oh man. Still smiling about this game
So awesome.  Thank you Scoscia for putting Kotchman in to allow that to be a walk-off instead of just tying it up.
