Not sure if anyone mentioned it but

Aybar was 15 day’d to make room for Figginator.

Please go away Justin Speier. Your work here is done. And take Quinlan's half-inch fielding radius with you.

Do any players ever have problems getting into Canada?

The immigration there can be really tough.

I’m thinking guys like Sidney Ponson.

I have a high tolerance for umpire screwups

as a result of the many, MANY bad calls the Angels have been on the wrong side of already this year.

The key is to be so dominate that it doesn't matter.

If you’re winning 10-2… a few screwups, even bad ones don’t matter. Like the mets game where they called the HR a foul

So far, we've been doing okay.

On top of the division, 2nd best record in the AL.

well, one's a popularity contest that counts votes

and the other is based on people who, for some reason, can ignore voters and determine who they throw their support behind

On the Radio

Terry Smith said something about Saunders not being able to make his start tomorrow. I had to get out of the car before I heard the rest of the story. Anyone know what’s up?

by jjackflash on May 21, 2008 5:48 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Feeling sick
Joe Saunders reported to Rogers Centre on Wednesday with “congestion, a headache and no energy.” The illness has his start on Thursday night against the Blue Jays in the series finale in question.

If the left-hander doesn’t improve by Thursday, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he is prepared to substitute Ervin Santana on his normal four days’ rest and hold Saunders back for a start this weekend in Chicago against the White Sox.

why can you qualify for a loss after throwing one pitch?

but only qualify for a win after five?

If a starter leaves the game in the 4th leading 1-0

and the game ends at 1-0, who gets the win?

wikipedia

A win is a statistic in Major League Baseball credited to the pitcher for the winning team who was in the game when his team last took the lead. The main exception is that a starting pitcher must complete five innings to earn a win; if this does not happen, the official scorer awards the win based on guidelines set forth in the official rules.

http://www.baseball1.com/faqs/scoring_and_awards.html#Q6

Q: How do you determine winning and losing pitchers?
A: The starting pitcher is credited with a “win” when he has pitched at least five complete innings, his team is in the lead when he leaves the game, and they remain in the lead for the rest of the game. (Rule 10.19). In a 5-inning game, the requirement is shortened to “must pitch at least four complete innings”.

When the starter does not meet these conditions and more that one relief pitcher is used,

  • if the team assumes the lead while the starting pitcher is in and never relinquishes it, credit the victory to the reliver who was most effective (in the judgement of the scorer).
  • whenever the score becomes tied the game becomes a new contest insofar as determining winning and losing pitchers.
  • the relief pitcher of record when his team assumes the lead and maintains it until the end of the game shall be the winning pitcher EXCEPT when he pitches ineffectively in a brief appearance and a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively; in that case, credit the win to the following pitcher.

Hi folks, late to the game.

Looks like Garland is being Garland today, and how about Vlad going yard twice – got to love it.
