ANAHEIM—Chris Waters wasn’t expected to do too much in his Major League debut.
After all, the decision to start him Tuesday against the Angels wasn’t even made until Sunday as he was just an emergency starter for the injured Hayden Penn. And Waters was far from spectacular with Baltimore’s Triple-A affiliate, as he carried a 3-6 record with a 5.70 ERA in 16 starts.
But the Angels made Waters look spectacular on Tuesday when the left-hander allowed just one hit over eight innings, as the Halos were shut out at home for the first time all season in their 3-0 loss to the Orioles at Angel Stadium.
It is part of a strange trend for the Angels against pitchers making their Major League debuts as they fell to 0-3 in just the past two months against pitchers making their first start. Atlanta’s Charlie Morton held the Angels to three runs in six innings on June 14 and Texas’ Matt Harrison allowed just two earned runs in seven innings against the Angels on July 8.
“It’s kind of weird,” said Torii Hunter, who went 0-for-4 to snap his 15-game hit streak. “I guess most of the guys who come up are the best in their organization and they show it against us every time.”
At least this time the Angels actually had video on Waters, but it didn’t help much as the Angels managed to get just five runners on base against Waters despite the fact he never even reached 90 mph on the radar gun.
“We knew a little bit,” Hunter said. “It’s totally different when you step in the box. I don’t care how much you know about a guy, when you step in the box the arm angles are different and the ball is moving different than words [on a scouting report].”
Waters’ outing impressed Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who was expecting his team to make adjustments after Waters’ first go-round through the lineup.
“He’s a lefty that looked like he knew what he was doing out there,” Scioscia said. “He had the ball sinking away and he changed speeds. I thought we’d get better looks as we went along but we really didn’t.”
YA THINK????

Outfielders For Sale! This weeks special...GMJ - see Tony for details!
Starting catcher
Haven’t seen the lineup, and I have to leave for the game before it gets posted, but I’m going with Mathis/Budde, whoever starts.
Figgins.
Day games are awesome. Especially middle of the week day games. First time I’m going to an Angels game in like three or four years.
Hooray for section F133.

most of 134 and ALL OF 135 are screened out.
133 is fine, unobstructed.

Yeah, 133 was great
I saw everything without a problem. And I still hate Jay Payton. I wanted my damn free Sliders.
