I don't follow team news like I used to
Is Vlad hurt? Why are they not starting him this series? Why is Q starting?
GMJ and Q are the two worst position players on the team….

The Soth wants to rest Vlad's legs
Vlad will probably be rested again tomorrow.

Morales got sent down for bulger
Willits didn’t get brought back up because of bulger
GMJ needs to tweak his knee and end his season early

last year, lots of wins… (i don’t think it hurt that we went to pretty much every one of escobar’s starts)
this year’s been brutal whenever it’s my turn in the rotation :(

While we are waiting for something to happen....
Does anyone know when (if ever) the league stats get combined for guys like Tex and Manny who are traded mid-season?
For ex: if a guy ends up with the most RBIs combined, is he recognized as ANY league leader end of season??
by SocalAngelFaninOC on Aug 26, 2008 7:25 PM PDT 0 recs
No, they don't combine stats.
In fact, an odd situation happened in 1990. Willie McGee was leading the NL in BA with a .335 average when he was traded to the A’s in August. He had enough ABs to qualify for the NL title, so his avg. was essentially “frozen”. Including his A’s stats, McGee hit .324 and actually trailed Dodger Eddie Murray and his .330 average. But because stats aren’t combined, McGee won the NL batting title.

This crap pitcher has an 87mph fastball
In Little League they’d tell you to crowd the zone and force him to throw inside. The Angels seem content to go the other way though.

Probably why it's best for people to not comment on games they aren't watching
Gubby talking about the Mets bullpen blowing a 7-0 lead in Philly to make it 7-6…the Mets starter gave up 5 of those runs.
Just an aside.

Yeah guess they could have lost 2-0 as easily as 1-0 yesterday
at least if Naps hits it there is a chance of a run, and he mixes in his walks……..hated the pinch hit AB Sunday also

In your defense though, Mathis is more clutch than Naps.
.998 OPS with RISP vs .951 OPS coming into tonight.

I know, I just felt like he needed some help.
At this point, I feel like Mathis has had his shot. He had sole control of the catching position for a month and didn’t do anything with it. Let’s see if Naps can do something.

I am a big Naps supporter but I still like Mathis long-term
Naps I think could hit 25-30 homers if he played 110 games a year.
Mathis has had like 3 very solid months for a catcher but 2 months where he’s hit like a pitcher. Hopefully he’ll gain consistency, I mean this is really his first full time job catching. Of course I think we can both hope that Conger makes it a moot point ;)

We'll see. He's kind of a DH right now.
I have higher hopes for Bobby Wilson though. That guy has a pretty decent swing and good plate control, though not the power of the other guys.
