Los Angeles Angels @ Cleveland Indians GameThread, Aug 17, 2008 10:05 AM PDT

First our hitting’s not good enough, then our bullpen needs a lefty, now our starters are teetering on the edge of disaster. Relax a little. Teams go through rough stretches. This too shall pass.

It means that you could literally die any time…could be far in the future, or soon. You just never know when it’ll happen, but it WILL…eventually…somehow.

Pandas are too lazy to be mean

In fact they have the digestive system of a carnivore. They are supposed to hunt small animals and eat them, but are too lazy, so they eat sticks instead. Sticks dont move, so they just prefer them.

Apparently bamboo is not very good for their digestion.

Joe looks pretty weak today

Came in late, but got home just after the third. Big pitch counts, not a lot of command, doesn’t look like he’s getting especially squeezed.

Nice to strand Sizemore. The offense is hitting balls hard but at gloves.

Witty .sig goes here.

He's got a history of second half declines

So do most pitchers.

I'm generally partial to skipping a start or two every month for younger pitchers early in the season

He just had two extra days between his starts this week.

I know, but I'm talking overall accumulated innings

I remember last year, Saunders was almost always better with an extra day of rest between starts near the end of the season, so in principle this should help, also.

You know, both Lackey and Weaver did this too.

Maybe it’s a function of the Indian’s hitting style where they foul off about a million pitches every AB, rather than a failing of our pitchers.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Aug 17, 2008 11:31 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Interesting observations...

I think that this season he has always been able to make the pitch to get out of an inning. The AB that killed him was the HBP. Batter leaned out over the plate to get hit…that was on the umps. He gave it up on the next batter. IF hits and routine grounders are finding holes…agreed he may be a little tired, but he is not pitching badly!

Am I the only one who thinks it possible he just had a poor start?

If Joe doesn’t make 6 innings today it would be the first time since June.

They were mentioning the Angels binder promotion and it reminded me of a question to ask you guys:

I don’t have season tix, but I do get to about 15 or so games per season….and a lot of times it’s tickets I get through work connects or freebies. Anyway, a lot of times I seem to go when they’re giving cool stuff to kids only. I know i’m 27, but some of the stuff is just cool stuff i’d like to have, or even give to my niece and nephew. Any tips on how to get that stuff? I’ve never asked at the gate.

Whatever dude.
