SUNDAY ANGELS ROUNDUP: Hunter Hits, Peavy Hurts

Up next for Angels: Sunday vs. San Diego - Los Angeles Times
Angels, Padres conclude their series at Anaheim.

Hunter belts three HRs in Angels' romp - OCRegister.com
"It was kind of like you were in a zone," Hunter said of his career night. "When you're in a zone, a lot of good things can happen and that's what I felt like."

San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Angels - June 13, 2009 - ESPN
Video of Hunter's big night.

Peavy hurt, could miss two to three months - CBSSports.com
The Padres will place their ace right-hander on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with an ankle injury that could sideline him for as long as three months, well past the July 31 trade deadline. At the very least, he's not expected to return until after the July 15 All-Star Game.

Sometimes the best deals are the one's you don't make.

Now is the Angels' time to make a move - Los Angeles Times
"We are at a point now," Scioscia said, "where, while I'm not going to say there needs to be a sense of urgency, we need to start doing things we have the potential to do."

'member him?

It Might Be Dangerous... You Go First
In case you've missed it, this is the Padres front office guy Paul DePodesta's blog. He's the only baseball exec that I know of who regularly posts articles about things that are going on with his team. This is really cool...and something I wish every team, especially the Angels.

Thank god they didn’t pull the trigger on this one.

Peavy was injured running the bases so they say....

If he were an Angel pitcher, he would not have been running any bases except in inter-league play, so the chances are he would be perfectly healthy right now had we signed him up.

He has had a balky arm all year

Scouts say his stuff is not as crisp

Play Wood already. Willits sucks.

RE: Babe Ruth clip

I never realized how much Ruth’s swing was like Ichiro’s.

And, why are all the umps dashing off the field in such a hurry at 1:30??

We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.

At around 0:30 when he runs up on the pitch

looks like he’s playing slo-pitch softball.

About 1 1/2 minutes in when he walks...

…now THAT’S a bat flip (or throw or whatever)!

Definitely Napoli

When he is on a hot-streak I love watching him hit. He has some “old school” qualities to him that I love.

Unshaven, jersey only half way buttoned and every swing is as hard as he can. Ever see Napoli get a “soft” basehit?? No way. Even his singles are crushed.

When I saw the poll, I immediately thought of Naps.

Thank you.

We haven’t had much 1866 luminosity around here for a while.

I've been reading DePodesta's blog

For a while, it’s pretty cool to see a FO guy explain the moves a team makes

I like Hula’s swing and the bat flip when he knows he crushed one
