Wednesday @ KC Game Thread
Los Angeles Angels at Kansas City Royals, May 7, 2008 5:10 PM PDT
We have a day off tomorrow and then three games on the Tampa Bay turf. This is hopefully the final off day missing John Lackey in the rotation.
A lifetime is so short, a new one can't be bought, but what you've got means such a lot to me.

Please tell me Kotchman's just taking a day off and he's not seriously hurt?
I can’t take this **. It is seriously getting to me that we can’t keep our main guys healthy.

According to Bill Plunket @ OC Register
He had a little “tightness in his groin” from running the bases yesterday…

Crap! Plunket also says Howie is still feeling tightness and now we won't likely see him until next homestand

OK, WTF?
He 5/6 with 2 HRs in RC, has had no trouble with baserunning, and he STILL feels tightness?

Can we get a real training staf?!?
Tight muscles, strained muscles, tweaked muscles….unreal.
Plunkett also reports that HK won’t be back until the homestand at the earliest.

Take a look at the Angels’ rotation ERA+ if you don’t believe me. Weaver will comfortably be worse than Jon Garland at the end of the day. That’s three below average starters. I don’t accept “perfection”? Hell, I’d be happy with mediocrity. A 5.21 ERA is nowhere near mediocre.

Okay, great
and no doubt about it, Lackey’s return will help. And maybe Butcher can nurse Weaver back to mediocrity. But this team has to have better starting pitching if they want to get to the postseason, because the bullpen is the second worst in the league. I mean, I think it’s likely some of those bullpen guys will bounce back to being league average (Moseley especially once he gets out of the rotation), but jeez. For a team allegedly built on pitching and D, the former is looking awfully flaky.

What does VELOCITY mean?
How does one make it good instead of bad?
by Rev Halofan on May 7, 2008 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Velocity has to do with the size of the pitcher's junk.
Whatever dude.

Or at least that's what Deadspin said.

I could be wrong
but I think Velo City is a suburb of Kansas City

I don't want to talk about it.
Napoli got a good hit though way back early in the game.

nothing was up
expect the ball in the strike zone … up to about belt high with no movement…

I was wondering
If that is what it was.
And i see that the A’s won today, so we are now in a tie for first place.

Ok, what is the formula for the stat that determines how many minutes
each run scored adds to the average length of a game?

Explain how the pitchers

I think it is the vivid imagination of Mathis folks.

Here's a little reality
Doesn’t include tonight’s train wreck:
This is strictly average runs per game grouped by starting pitcher.
If you throw out the #5 gas cans then you’ve got about a 1.5 run improvement for Naps when Garland and Weaver start and about a 2.2 run improvement for Mathis when Santana and Saunders start. I’d say that you can’t conclude that Mathis calls a better game. In fact, I find it interesting that Mathis is +1.74 in Weaver starts where his ability to throw out runners is nullified by Weaver’s slow move to the plate.
Pitcher Mathis Salad Mathis-Differential Adenhart 3 8 -5 Judy 3.5 2.2 +1.3 Gas can 4 4.3 -0.3 Magic 1.4 4 -2.6 Colonel 2.5 4.3 -1.8 WTY 3.75 2 +1.74

I've seen Napoli sign throws and Weaver has missed quite a few so,
is that Napoli’s fault in your opinion?
Scioscia, "Roll the hole!"
by 44FAN on May 7, 2008 7:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No
It just seems to occur more often with Napoli. He just seems to be “lucky” that way.
by Seik1177 on May 7, 2008 7:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Or when the catcher signs down and away and Adenhart
throws the ball a foot over the batter’s head, is that the catcher’s fault?
Scioscia, "Roll the hole!"
by 44FAN on May 7, 2008 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
See above answer
I’m not saying Napoli sucks, I just think Mathis’s Game calling & defense are superior to Napoli.
