Angels Bullpen Meltdown Gifts Twins a Win

PrintIn a game that saw the Angels worst reliever, Justin Speier, put in the best pitching performance of the night, it figures blowing a 6 run lead would happen after Speier’s first hint of success on the mound in almost a year. Rafael Rodriguez (wearing Esteban Yan's jersey #59 and pitching like him), Jose Arredondo, Scot Shields and the Queen of Pain Jason Bulger, combined to give up 9 runs in 3 innings after Speier had shut down the Twins over two innings for an injured Dustin Moseley.
Let’s look at the bright side, though. My girlfriend made me a great dinner. It was awesome eating a delicious filet of sole with butter and lemon, cooked carrots and brown rice.
Nice when the team made me puke it all up that it pretty much landed in one spot on the carpet with very little splatter.

God this year keeps getting worse and worse
Terrible training staff, terrible bullpen so far, and the rotation is in abolute tatters. We deserve a medal if we can pull this out.

that would get my vote
horrific meltdown

Just wondering...
Jose Mota was saying that Oliver’s lack of avaiability might have affected the outcome of this game.
Uh, isn’t Brian Fuentes left-handed? Why couldn’t he have been warmed up to face Korbel?

Because at this rate, we're going to need him every game.
Start bringing him in for 4 out saves, and he’ll disintegrate.

Hasn't he already disintegrated? ;)

I don't agree with that argument
Win today, worry about the next game tomorrow.
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game, the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us."
Yep
Bad team. Bad pitching, bad offense*, bad bullpen. It’s going to be a long time until they’re back in the playoffs. Years.
*Nine runs is nice, but you can’t rely on a million singles. One extra base hit? Recipe for losing.
My early prediction? 2013 before they’re back in the playoffs.
Are you even an Angel fan?
why the hell would you say that.

I didn't expect that team to be any good
And that team had a bullpen, and guys who could actually get extra base hits.
And they were Healthy.

Exactly.
And even as recently as 2007 the Angels started the season with a less than stellar record of 6-9.
I’m going to cut this team some slack. They’ve been through hell with the off-field tragedy. The injuries to John, Kelvim and Ervin has strained the pitching staff. And losing Vlad isn’t helping.
Give them some time.

Is the ghost of Chris Bootcheck possessing the body of Jason Bulger?
With all of the misfortune, this is gonna be a tough year. Scot Shields needs to see a shrink.
all of the above
would be my vote too.
This is not good. I really hope this is the slump that every team has and we’re just having ours at the beginning of the season.
this will be a lost season
there is no where to fall back on. pitching? the bullpen is a joke. there is literally no one mike can put out there that is a sure thing. the offense blows and apparently are planning to make their living on singles and the defense leads the league in errors and have made come plays this year that are hilariously pathetic.
i mean dustin better have his arm hanging on by a thread to leave when they are this depleted. what the hell is mikes deal. he babies the shit out of these players every spring so that they wont get injured and then literally everyone gets injured anyways. its been that way for years now. maybe a change needs to take place. the angels injury situations is a joke. what the hell is going on here.

Because I'm a realist
Three of the top four starters on the DL, with only the HOPE that two will be back soon. And a team with no ability to hit for extra bases just lost it’s only power hitter for over a month.
That, in conjunction with crippling contracts, and very little major league ready talent outside of two middle infielders, plus the improvement shown by the rest of the division tells me that they aren’t going to be in the playoffs for a LONNNNNNGGGG time.
After this analysis, I think I will turn off the TV for the rest of the year...
fortunately, I have no short-term memory.

Right, and who's this year's Santana?
Who’s the guy this year that we expect nothing from who throws a Cy caliber season.
Last year we lost two, got one back, and got a great performance out of nowhere, and we had a bullpen.
This year we’ve lost three, we can’t expect anyone to fill that void, and we have no bullpen. But other than that, the situation is exactly the same.

Thats what I'm saying.......Arredondo should have stayed in the game.....
the only reason he has an ERA is because they take him out with runners on and fucken shields brings them right into home with a grin on his horse ass face.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats not good enough......we blew a HUGE lead.
Even a beer league softball team can hold onto a 5 run lead in the 8th inning
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCIOSCIA deserves this one.......
That is TWICE that he takes out Arredondo who has been good the inning before then gives up a hit and a walk and out comes Scioscia to put in piece of shit Sheilds to blow the game wide open. Arredondo would have gotten out of that inning with at least a 3 run lead, and maybe would not have given up a run.
Scioscia is really pissing me off this season.

Scioscia is letting us down.

isn’t Fuentes left-handed?

Scioscia is to blame
Sciosica isn’t an option? leaving Rodriquez in. not going to the farm system to bring in a starter, thus not having a lefty like oliver available? Pitching to a hot bat in Kubel, putting the winning run on base with Bulger pitching thus adding pressure on his delivery?
This whole season has been a meltdown much like the playoffs and the over managing from Scioscia.
Putting Izzy as DH? WTH? Why not Nap as DH and Mathis catching. WTH is going on???!

Me either Morales is going to carry the team when his bat heats up and our bullpen will figure it out.

Scoscia
Fuentes is a lefty, so is Morneau. We pay Fuentes a lot of money. He should ahve been brought in in that spot. Where does it say that a closer can only pitch 1 inning??
Izzy in the 3 spot as the DH? Really?
Scoscia is doing a terrible job so far this year IMO
RIP Nick. We will miss you!
Completely Agree
I have no idea why Fuesntes wasn’t brought in after 2 outs in the 8th. Fuentes dominates lefties and Bulger dominates nothing. Made no sense to me why Bulger was in the game.

I agree
They have not looked good so far – but that doesn’t excuse Scox from putting his lefty closer in vs an major league unproven, consistently shelled Bulger.
If Fuentes is your closer – then roll him out there till he pitches himself out of the job. I’d rather lose lefty lefty with Fuentes and get the match up I want vs blindfolding myself spinning 20 times then throwing a dart at a moving target with Bulger.

Has anyone been watching the sames games i have? Have you seen our bullpen and it isn’t going to change unless we dump Matthews for pitching? We will be lucky to come out of april 8-15. Far too late for our starting pitching staff to help us. Vlad may be back but he is a washed up 37 year old; that is how i really think he is. The M’s smell blood and they are going to take advantage. We’ll see what happens when they play east coast teams. but this is going down to the wire like 06, at least I hope at this point

We had Izzy as DH today.. Did you see Matthews in the lineup today?
how is that mentality any different than having willits available. also so long as scioscia is tinkering with the management of the team and bullpen like my dad does with his golf swing and clubs on a casual tuesday afternoon, why not bring up Terry Evans?
Evans
Wouldn’t necessarily be bad, and I’m all for giving the young guys playing time and experience, but so long as the opportunity has presented itself, this should be GMJ’s spot to lose—after all, he needs to create/build up his own value if the Halos are going to GET something for him…!

This season is by far the worst in recent memory
although we have had our fair amount every year. usually beginning the season, then we have our fair share drop in the middle to end.
Not quite the worst.
I’d still say August 2003 was the worst. Most of our hitters and pitching staff went down all at the same time.

If you were following along with Physioc on TV ...
Did anyone else think that Stevis Phyzz should have used that “The nightmare inning is finally over!” line after Kubel’s GS and the subsequent out that ended the inning? I instantly thought “that is where that line fits, Phyz”
RIP Nick Adenhart - Angel fans will never forget you!
you know I heard that line in that game the other day
and at first I didnt think twice, but but when it was brought up, it was an epically terrible thing to say lol. That would of been even more hilarious for him to say that today haha

He was bugging me with his incessant "Ketchup doesn't belong on hot dogs" riff
by Fan Since 1981 on Apr 17, 2009 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, he's right about that
Only douchebags put ketchup on hot dogs.
Real hot dogs have mustard, relish, pickles, sport peppers, grilled onions, tomatoes, and celery salt. That’s the Chicago way.
Yeah, it's true. Only douchebags put ketchup on hot dogs.
In fact I hear they feel so strongly about it in the eastern European country of Leutonia that they chop of people’s heads if they’re caught putting ketchup on hot dogs. And they go to jail for 20 years if they spell it “catsup”.

I don't dispute is correctness on the ketchup issue
BUT I DO CHALLENGE HIM ON ONE THING:
He can’t say WHY – he will always whip out the old aphorism and accepted wisdom, but like the third grade school teacher PHYSIOC just yammers the adage, NEVER gives out the reason.
I hate listening to this announcing crew
give me Rory and Guby everyday over those two
Outfielders For Sale! This weeks special...GMJ - see Tony for details!

i for one support hudler’s enthusiasm and physiocs yammering, the two of them make for a funny team.

Bullpen ERA is currently over 10.
Is it going to stay that high all year? Is that what we can truly expect? Is this reflective of the career track records/reasonable projections of:
Fuentes?
Shields?
Dondo?
Ollie?
Speier?
Wait.
It's going to UPGRESS to the mean.

Personally, I would be happy if opposing players like Ichiro and Kubel would stop
using their games against us to make their own little career baseball history.
Dude ... when Kubel was a homer away...
I was thinking … “oh crap, this might bite us at the end of this game…” Doggone, why do those evil thoughts enter my mind?

I thought that to, and after Physioc mentioned it on the air, I felt it was certain just because he said it.
But I was’nt about to post a comment in the game thread.
I kept thinking....
Kubel is on everything and Scioscia puts the winning run on base.
Physioc is a douchebag

Calm Down
Everyone it has been pointed out earlier that we started 6-14 in 02. 6-14! we need to calm down. weve just gone through the best stretch in angels baseball history in the past few years, and with one little bad start, everybody panics. we’ll get it together. I believe that jepsen is going to emerge and someguy (i dont know who) will come up from AAA and be a solid 5th starter.

I really don’t pay much attention to slow starts but this one scares me. Without any depth in our starting pitching due to injuries and our pen looking just god awful, we may have a huge hole to climb out of by the time our horses come back.

guess im glad I missed this one.......

To much freaking out.
This team has been really good for quite some time now. I expect Wood to get called up soon enough and tear it up. You should have Lackey, Escobar, and Santana back by the break and then forget about it. Do you really think the M’s are going to keep it up? A’s? Rangers? No, of course not. Once the pitching is back all the Angels have to do is win 88+ and they should lock it up no problem. Just think of what the AL west is going to look like in July. No matter how bad it gets IN APRIL just remember who the Angels have to worry about. Keep your heads up. This is a proud organization. And if they can get Peavy or Halladay…
P.S. I know I’m a cholo doyers fan, but I have always liked the Angels as well. Still do. (MidwayCityLivestock is my best friend too)

Actually I freaking despise cholos
They have done nothing but do everything they can to ruin Dodger Stadium for the last, oh I don’t know, 10 years? I grew up in echo park just walking distance from Dodger Stadium and from what I can remember, the cholos never even cared about the Dodgers until some strange sea change occured. My Mom married a rich guy in 1992 and we moved to Newport Beach so I started going to Angel games. I have never bought into the “rivalry” between the two teams, and I will never forget the humiliation the Angels poured onto the Giants in 2002. Seriously though, this team is far from done. So many trades to be done, so many suprising callups, the Angels have been here before. I kinda like the manager too.
There is no rivalry
We have a mostly Dodger coaching staff. We have a lot of blue underneath that red.

I totally agree
I was living in Virginia in 2002 (in the Navy) and was thrilled when the Angels won it, and not just because it was the Giants. I was just glad they finally did it. When I got back home it’s some nasty rivalry and I just never understood it. I got an Angels mini plan in 2006 because I was living in Costa Mesa and had a blast until game 3 of the ALDS (god I hated Manny, how things change). I do wish they would change the name back to Anaheim or California or Orange County. Not because “we’re the real LA team”, but more as a tribute to the OC/IE fans that rooted for the Halos thorugh years of mediocrity until the glory. I live close enough now to have Dodger season tickets which is a dream come true. BTW if you want safe haven during the Dodgers/Halos series at the Ravine, pick section 14RS near row EE. Me and midway city livestock will be there at 14RS, row EE, seats 1 and 2.
The Times (I think)
Once ran an article noting that the “Dodger Way” is still alive and well…. in Anaheim.

i haven't felt this way since 2002
after that walk-off Percy gave up to oakland, i almost completely gave up on the Angels forever.
i gotta stop listening to am830
every time i do the opposition scores….i was driving during that 7-run debacle of an inning.
When I went to bed here it was 9-4...
…I thought we were in pretty good shape. Obviously I’m still stuck in the past.
What worries me is not Bulger (who has always been incompetent and I presume always will be) or Rodriguez, since they’ll get sent down as soon as a starter pulls through.
My worry is Shields (and to a lesser extent eT)
I see red people
Anyone else see the Dodger game tonight?
Top of the 8th. Dodgers up 4-3. One out and based loaded. So what does Torre do? Brings in Broxton. It’s that simple. When the game is on the line, you bring in the guy you pay to save the game.
