Think of it this way...

If they can put this type of offense together, imagine having actual starting pitching. Imagine NOT having people that should be in AAA. We should be fine…

For more recent fans

this is a little taste of what it was like to be a fan throughout most of the ’70s, only back then there was no light at the end of the tunnel.

Sure, in retrospect

That’s why I said most of the ‘70s. But that light wasn’t apparent in the early- to mid-‘70s, for it was years away. Our light is a month or so away (God willing and the water don’t rise).

3/4 on the picks...

But the only one that I missed was the one that counted most. Damnit!

I blame Bulger 100%. i Know he had a couple good nights, but in this game he just gave it up. If we hold down the Mariners in the middle innings even a little bit more, we still would have had our great comeback, and it would have been good for a win. The Angels were hungry tonight, you could sense it at the game. Even Bobby was getting impatient trying to produce, but the offensed performed well with the pressure they had on themselves.

Great defense probably wins us this game… but slightly better pitching definitely wins us this game. And at least Howie had some good ABs, which is more than we can pretend to say about Bulger, who basically did nothing right.

by AlanFalcon on Apr 26, 2009 1:29 AM PDT up reply actions

one thing is for sure

kendry is a serious downgrade at first in terms of defense. there are numerous plays I have seen that both kotch and tex would have made every time. i truly believed that one of the reasons the angels outplayed “expectations” last year was specifically defense at first. remember discussions about hwo many games koth (and tex) had one simply by makeing the most clutch play at first ever.

i remember when i played third and there would be sharp line drives. i am a pretty big guy (i eventually switched to left offensive tackle) so when i would dive for sharp ground balls i knew i wouldnt get it but wanted to make the effort for my team. it seems like kendry is the same way. he dives because he knows he should but he also knows he doesnt think he can get it. the difference between me and him is i was 12 years old.

he really is a serious downgrade at defense and i think it is hurting us more than some realize.

definitely agree

but i think the rest are playing way down compared to their abilities. except maybe for napoli. but what im trying to say is i dont think kendry has the abilities. the rest can turn it around and it may just be a product of losing and being in a slump so when they get tehir rotation in order and improve, so will the d, but kendry will not and it will hurt us.
