I always wondered

What would have happened if Q hadn’t strained the muscle in Tampa Bay when he was playing 3rd and basically carrying the Angels for that stretch.
Just a random thought

I'm a big Q fan, but ...

I think he is just not going to fit on this team this year. Too many other options.

Robertson

Lefties have hit Robertson to an OPS over almost 1100 while righties are merely hitting with an OPS over .800. A Lefty takes away Robertson’s only ML caliber pitch, his change.

Northeastern University Huskies: Mediocre hockey, guaranteed.

by Carl Johnson on Apr 25, 2008 6:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

Maybe.

Or maybe they get lit up. Fact is, Ervin was pitching well, and mike thought he could get another out or two out of him, maybe even a quick inning. And our bullpen needs a rest. It’s not just tomorrow Mike has to think about. What about Sunday, or Monday?

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Apr 25, 2008 6:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

Bullpen

Shields is the only one that has to have today off, and the ONLY reason the bullpen is overworked is because of the way Scioscia uses it.

For example, say Speier is lights out in the 7th and throws 8 pitches. Even though he only threw 8 pitches he’ll be removed in the 8th for Shields. If a pitcher is pitching well then he should be left in the game, but Scioscia is way way way too entrenched in the Speier 7th, Shields 8th, Frankie 9th.

by MH252525 on Apr 25, 2008 6:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

Or

He tries to conserve their arms for the long hall. And given his record of success, I’m gonna trust him over you every time.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Apr 25, 2008 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

lol that's conserving their arm?

That’s not conserving their arms. It is much smarter to have a reliever throw 20-25 pitches and make less appearances than having him get warmed up, throw 8 pitches and make more appearances. Scioscia gets WAY too much credit for the Angels success. Like tonight they are praising him for leaving Kotchman in against lefties, I think 9/10 of this board has said to let Kotch hit everyday for like the past 3 years. But he finally does it and gets credit for it? BS.

by MH252525 on Apr 25, 2008 6:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

First off

No one said anything about letting Casey get more ABs against ANYBODY in 2006. If you were watching him then, you’d know why. Last year some people demanded it, and some people thought Mike had the right idea, but it wasn’t until late that people started really bringing up Casey’s .300 average.

Second, it’s not better to let pitchers throw 25 pitches than it is to throw 9. Our guys tend to start breaking down after more than one inning, however many pitches it was. In case you missed it, Mike DID leave Shields in yesterday, because he was cruising. And it backfired. That happens sometimes as a manager. Like tonight, leaving in Santana could have been a good move. It’s not a huge risk to his arm as long as you don’t do it night after night.

Mike gets credit because he’s had more success in the last 8 years than in the Angels previous 41 years COMBINED. That’s not an accident. He occasionally makes moves I disagree with, but there’s always a solid reason he makes them. Pretending otherwise is just deluding yourself.

Admiral Aybar can't handle pitches of that magnitude!

Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!

Casey... WTF

If he throws a meatball 1st pitch you swing at it, you need to knock that ** out of the park. Otherwise, don’t bother.

Filth credit here

Just another Halo Victory, and a 1-2-3 ninth. Great game for Vladdy, too. I’ll even nominate Santana for partial-credit Panther for yet another nice road victory.

Like I said, you may be right.

I’m sticking with K-Rod though. Save number 10’s gotta count for something. ;-)
