You brought it back up with the Seattle comment.

We beat everybody in the regular season, not just the bad teams in our division.

Winning in the regular season is a necessary first step to winning in the post-season. I’m just happy we’ve finally mastered step one. Step two will hopefully come with time. Preferably faster than we are currently doing it of course.

1.Small sample size.

We’ve been homerless for what, 7 games now? That’s really not all that long.

2. I agree more with people later in this topic who talked about how tense some of our guys are. I would also agree that Hatcher is a crappy hitting coach. But saying that we aren’t built for power when we have 4 guys with 20 or more homers on our roster is ridiculous. We got Tex specifically FOR that purpose.

I am pretty much in agreement with that statement.

We come out tonight and give up 4 right away. We’re having to come back all game long. Like in so many efforts it’s the climbing back that can finally be attained, but getting over the mountain doesn’t happen. You can’t dig that deep a hole for yourself. And even then, with us scoring 5 ourselves, we left so, so many sitting on the table. We stranded 11 guys, and HK simply should not be in there. It’s too late to do anything about it now, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

I didn't say they won the game because of it.

I said the system favored them. And it did. We lost all the same. A good team finds a way to win, despite the difficulties.

But yeah, Torii being called safe, Aybar getting the pick call—Both game changers, both go Boston’s way. Instant replay is a wonderful thing. Not that I’d expect you to be up with the latest technology.

Aybar never got a tag on him before the runner got back and the Hunter call can go either way

Saw the replay and you care to see it differently. Bottom line is Fuck Rod shit the bed. You said it earlier on your BOTG. No matter what happened earlier inspite of you thinking the umpire was out to get the Angels and umpiring crew is related to Tim Donaghy and Red Sox fans.

Bullshit.

If he was in a setup role like Scot Shields, he would have been have been exposed then. Because he typically had the comfort a a clean start in the 9th inning, he could wiggle out of trouble. If he was used like an elite closer should be able to be used (cleaning up other people’s mess in the 8th inning from time to time), we would have dramatically failed as he did tonight. If you can’t count on him for more than 1 inning, why meet his demands to be highest paid reliever?

by snowhor on Oct 3, 2008 11:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, we put him on a one-inning limit to protect his ARM

because we played in so

many

close games this year. The same guy who posted Amen a few line up also predicted that K-Rod’s arm would explode after this season if we weren’t careful. Apparently, the Angels recognizing the danger and protecting that arm somehow makes K-Rod a crappy closer.

Meeting his “demands” is a very different thing than dumping on him as a choke-artist and loser, which is what you guys do to him practically EVERY time he comes out.

Let's not act like Frankie was overworked this year.

He pitched 68.1 innings. The reason he was rarely used for saves in excess of 1 innings is purely because he cannot handle it.

by snowhor on Oct 3, 2008 11:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

I never said when or it would explode

I clearly said I would not give him the contract he wanted based on the fact that the life of a closer is not long.

Second year in a row that FRod blew the series in game 2 with a walk off

this one was top of 9 so technically not a walk off, just a game winner that’s all.

KRod is gone. What would you rather spend 15 million a year on, FRod or another bat? It’s not even a question.

I’ve hated the way FRod has been used all year long; only in save situations, only in the 9th inning, hopefully when he’s gone from our system Sosh can use the bullpen in a true situational way.

When should you use your best reliever, when you’re up by 2 in the 8th, with the go ahead runs on base and 1 out, or starting the 9th, up by 2, no runners on base? If you explain the game of baseball to anyone without a working knowledge of how major league managers use closers it’d be a simple answer, and not the one the managers rely on that’s for sure.

But I guess FRod has proved for the second postseason in a row that he is clearly NOT our best relief pitcher. How many “saves” has he gotten by coming in with a 3 run lead, gives up a couple hits, maybe a run or two, walks guys, final score we win by 1 or 2, he gets a “save”. It’s an emptier statistic than wins and losses, it’s absurd.

Go look at the other AL closers and look at their save percentages, just as comparable as Frod, just not as many chances because most other teams score more runs and don’t have as many close ballgames. I’d much rather develop another closer and secure more power offense.

I really thought Torii and Tex meant more power offense, and we’d win it all.

I’m an idiot. A heart broken idiot.
