No matter where the ball is hit

or how far a fielder has to go to get it, it seems like no one gets thrown out by a greater distance than Vlad on ground-outs in the field.

Or Bengie Molina

But then again, that guy was so slow you could probably throw him out at first on a home run.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Aug 18, 2008 4:19 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Although I seem to remember him running faster before, even this year

He looks pretty bad at the moment

This is going to be an interesting game...

They’ve mentioned that what, at least 10 times already ?

It would be interesting if the guys started hitting some balls.

Which is OK

if our offense would be the same offense as, say, a week ago.

Garland always gives up runs

And a lot of time, he buckles down after doing so. I’m not so much worried about Garland as I am about the state of the Angels’ offense at this moment.
