now.... maybe GMJ is hurt...

but like I said earlier, the lineup should have been as many lefties as possible.

Lefties hit Vasquez to the tune of .250 some OPS points higher than righties.

So far our lefties are 5-9 with a hbp and our righties are 1-6.

Nice night to give GMJ the night off Soth.

I know he got an insane suspension and the Royals sent him back to the minors.

11 players suspended from that brawl, it was a real beanball fest

I remember Phil Nevin getting drilled twice in that game

and when Mike Holtz beaned Offerman late in the game it was gloves and caps all over the field. The umps were thinking twice about letting them finish the game.

That was the most full-on brawl I’ve ever seen the Angels have.

I vaguely remember a brawl almost as bad at Anaheim Stadium against the Tigers

I remember them fighting in the OF and it was a promotional night…. ball night I think and some fans starting throwing balls at the Tigers… then MLB made a rule that giveaways like that had to be given away on the way out of the stadium.

Guys like Erstad and Nevin

were good for sparking up a good old fashioned brawl. We don’t seem to have the same type of personalities anymore for a good punch-up.

I think a lot of it is on Scioscia

I could totally see some of the Angels wanting to back their players up, but I know Scioscia has said he doesn’t tolerate any of that.

He got sand up in his you know where….

The only guy on our current team ...

that I can see even marginally losing it and charging the mound or something is Aybar … or maybe Mathis.

at least if Soth is open to the idea of izturis batting second

then he might be open to having HK bat there once he comes back

Ideal Angels lineup in my mind

Figgins 3B
HK 2B
Vlad RF
Kotch 1B
Hunter CF
GA DH
Napoli C
Aybar SS
Willits LF

Zu said everyone would complain with Q or Wood

And I said I didn’t think so

Brown is huge step down from either of them.

Wood may not put up numbers right now, but he’s a legit prospect. Brown is not that young, and he’s certainly not good.

by MH252525 on May 15, 2008 9:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

go for it

What I’ve consistently said about Wood is…

play him in the majors everyday

or play him in the minors everyday

but they play him sporadically, he does well in a game and then he sits on the bench so that Matt Brown can showcase his complete lack of talent.

wouldn't suprise me in the least

to see the Angels mess with Wood some more, and bring him back up for a few games after he just got sent down so that he could get sent back down once Figgy or HK is ready to come off the DL.

The Angels treatment of Wood the past 2 years has been pathetically bad.

depends on the pitcher

if it’s a left-handed vs of O’Day I’d want Q in there over Kotch.

But the difference between Kotch and Q is a bit bigger than Torii and GMJ

I’m just attributing that to sample size.

GMJ is a better hitter from the left side than the right. His numbers will revert to the mean.
