Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Cry, Slur SATURDAY GAME THREAD

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers, Apr 26, 2008 12:55 PM PDT


Nothing like a 55-minute pre-game show with 45 minutes of Fox commercials for lousy sitcoms and corn-syrup soda pop that subsidizes ethanol for Detroit automobiles.

He knows the meaning of success.

First at-bat in the 6 spot is right back in the pressure cooker. Part of me is feeling sorry for him and the other part is thinking it is best to just get this all over with as quickly into the season as possible…

Extra Innings is not helping me out today however and this sucks! :((

Bet his numbers would be better than Moseley’s thus far however!

Moseley could be an effective seventh inning guy.

Notice that he always seems on for one or two innings, but seems to lose it in the later innings of his start. Either he lacks the stamina, or more likely, the repertoire to be a solid major league starter.

oops forgot to finish my point

I have been saying that 6 IP, 3-4 Runs per a Moseley start is the best we can expect from him….we should not be complaining about our pitching…Mose is what he is….now get our bats off our shoulders and hit the damn ball….HARD somewhere! Damnit anyway!

OF

Is anyone else wishing HGH was in this spacious outfield? Vlad made a horrible play on that overthrow and GA has had a couple of plays where I’d much rather have GMJ out there.

Like the bloop double by Granderson, GA plays so deep and looked in the corner of the tv like he was dogging it hoping either it would go foul or Figgins would get it and then only turned it on once it was fair. And then that double just now, I’m not saying GMJ catches it but he sure as heck has a better chance that GA.

no argument here

GA should only be playing the field if one of Hunter or Mathews is hurt of Vlad is DHing. Having Vlad and GA out in the OF is a pathetic OF. I’m more upset at GA for that bloop double on Granderson. Looked like he didn’t go after it hard until it landed fair and even with him dogging it he almost got I-Rod out at 3rd.

Positives for the Day

Moseley did fine for a 5th starter. 3 runs against Detroit is not the problem. GA playing a lousy LF with his typcial 1-4 with a meaningless single is not a positive. Scioscia making a lineup change without it being after the All-Star break is a positive. Mathis looking overmatched in a few abs not a positive.
