Minnesota Twins @ Los Angeles Angels GameThread, Aug 23, 2008 6:05 PM PDT

i guess scoscia was thinking dp, i’m more fond of a k oriented reliever than smoke and mirrors hoping for a grounder. frankie needs a save anyway, keep it close!

oh no definitely, k's are always better

Yeah, but there are only so many K guys to go around. We tend to keep them for the later innings. >_>;

Garland suffers what many golfers call "After Birdie Syndrome", where they get bogey (or worse) on the hole after a birdie.

In Judy’s case, it’s ARS, after-run syndrome. He blows any lead given to him.

Zu on the lefty/righty issue with Oliver

you know better than anyone batting average is a lousy stat. His OPS vs lefties and righties is still well over 100 point difference.

by MH252525 on Aug 23, 2008 8:35 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

SSS. He's faced fewer lefties, while giving up two homers to them.

His OBP and WHIP aren’t actually much worse at all against them, and with as few homers as Oliver gives out, it’s probably random who hits them.

Also, I said of late. Post all-break, he’s given up exactly 1 hit to a lefty. BA was just an example of how his stats against them have been flattening out. Earlier in the year he was MUCH worse against them, but the point is that lately, not so much.

probably not a bad idea, one run would be big and it avoids the GIDP

that looked like a failed sacrifice more than a straight steal

in any case, howie’s out

by howiestheman on Aug 23, 2008 8:48 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

you wouldn't sacrifice with one out and a runner on second, would you?

by tanana40 on Aug 23, 2008 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

figgy was squared away to bunt

so either he’s sacrificing, or he’s trying to bunt for a single.
either way, he hung howie out to dry. i seriously doubt that was a straight steal

you know LL manipulates stats to make the mariners look better than angels, but the best stat of all is that frankie has more saves than they have wins

I recall just as the season was starting reading some of their “ANALYSIS” it was: We are gonna get lucky because we are awesome and deserve it and all of the Angels are going to regress and they are going to suck because we do not like them … numbers numbers numbers…
