Angels' Frozen Bats Get Walked Off in KC

PrintAngels lose to the Kansas City Royals 2-1.
The game started with an early Howie Kendrick HR to center that was eerily reminiscent of Torii Hunter's shot last night. But that was it for the bats for the night. Dan Haren worked his way out a jam in the 4th--giving up his only run, made possible by a Premium gaffe behind the plate.
Haren ran into some more trouble again in the 6th, but with his nasty factor* (*mlb.com gameday patent pending) and a great catch by Vernon Wells, he worked his way out of another jam.
The game was handed off to the bullpen in the 8th. Jordan Walden held the Royals scoreless; however, Michael Kohn gave up a walk-off HR to Kila Ka'aihue in the 9th.
Dan Haren overall had a solid night, giving up no walks and only 1 run. Nevertheless, the Angels struggled against a soft-throwing left-handed pitcher...again. Mark Trumbo had 2 GIDPs. Bobby Abreu went 0 for 4. And Jeff Mathis decided to play catch with the center fielder while also going 0 for 3 with Ks. The Angels are not going to get many wins if they get shut out by teams like the Royals for 8 innings.
Is tonight a microcosm of the Angels struggles to come for the year? One can only assume so. Angels games will be low-scoring affairs, bullpen struggles, and nonexistent run support. It's hard to look at our lineup, as it is, and find 4-5 runs every night. 1-3 runs per game is just not going to get it done most nights in the AL. Our SPs need run support, or we're looking at a long season again.
Or maybe the Angels are just playing an April Fool's joke on us, and they are not going to repeat their same struggles from last year? The fan in me hopes (and is most likely deluded into believing) so.
Or has the front office's penchant for slap-hitters, spendy veteran free agents, and an organizational philosophy of small ball finally caught up with us?
The Angels are 1-1. 160 games to go, for better or worse. Hopefully the former.

When they play a real team...
…you might be put out of your misery quicker. Ha!

Do you have a deep pocket of confidence watching?
I’ll root for ‘em always, but I can’t say I feel confident.
And no way in living hell do I feel like I’m watching the 4th highest payroll in all of baseball.
It’s just one game, so nothing to worry about, right?
This one is all on the offense
You just have the feeling that Haren would continue to be screwed in terms of run support tonight.

Wasted start, slap-hitting groundout-tastic offense, premium defense, shaky bullpen

You are wrong
I think that the front office has shot itself in the foot and put the team in a very difficult long-term situation. That doesn’t mean the Angels can’t win a weak division with 85-87 wins this year. I don’t like the odds, but it is definitely possible. I have never said otherwise.
I'm going to go share my feelings about this game with my friend Mr Glenlivet
Goodnight all.
"Mike Scioscia?! Didn't you get radiation poisoning?"
"I sure did. And it gave me super managing powers!"
That is scary.
And I’m sure it has been mentioned many times already, but Napoli was two for three today with a three-run homer and a single; he also scored twice. Oh wait, he’s not on our team anymore.
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
Our first baseman made four outs in three trips to the plate
That even includes a seeing-eye grounder.
didn't they sweep us last season?

A loss is a loss no matter what...
…but man would there be some drama if that throw from Mathis in the 8th resulted in them scoring the winning run.
I really felt some bad juju there.
I still have Mathis as AL MVP filled out, but it is in pencil.
There's really no excuse for only scoring 1 run in that game, so I can't give him BOTG
But man that was a terrible pitch by Kohn.
He's young and inexperienced
but it is a little creepy that we have had three closers give up bombs to their first batter in the fisrst two games
Still though
That’s a rough start to 2011 for Kohn. He started 2010 rough as well (27.00 ERA anyone?) but at least no HRs allowed then.

psssssst
(giving up a walk off home run kind of sucks as well …..)
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Yeah, but if we had had more than oh, ONE RUN, the game might have been tied.
And if the rest of the inning goes 1-2-3, then we have a shot to go to extras and still win it.

Kohn't put it all on the pen
Offense needs to do it’s fair share in contributing to the win.
"To Halowood - Avoid the Clap." - Jimmy Dugan
Not surprising at all. Kohn completely eliminated any chance we had of winning the game
Personally, I can’t put the most blame on him though
It's ok guys
we got Kazmir going this series.
I’d put blame on the game on Bobby. But with a big assist from Soth. 0-12 against Francis and boy did it ever show. He looked just plain horrible up there.
And he's going against Bruce Chen
But it’s all good, this team rocks soft tossing lefties
The blame is our putrid offense.
It’s going to be the case all season long, except in the games that Kazmir starts. At least then we can blame him.
I've got nothing.
Why is Mathis even on here as BOG?
I feel like Trumbo, Abreu, Kohn are the only options.
"I have one word for you...Be careful."

well he swung and missed at a 58 foot curve
he threw a ball like 6 feet wide of 2B for an error. He just sucked all around.

i’m not sure what’s going on there, but, if it can affect his performance positively, I’m all for it.

Guy went 0 for 3 with 2 strikeouts

we would have one becasue he would have hit a home run

Oh, god!
Where’s Mike napoli when you need him? Wells was good yesterday but this game is having me VERY scared that this year may be WORSE than last. Bad bullpen, no hitting, overspending: Sadly, it’s the epitome of a perfect storm.
I pray to God that Wells DOES work well. He is on our team (I know Dave Smith chastises the “we” form when discussing teams, please forgive me) and him working will be all the better so don’t give me the “payback” argument.
Offense was good in ST and hopefully at can be rekindled (but unfortunately Trombomb got stiffed).

Thats the thing...
…if the team is winning and we have an offense worthy of the 4th highest payroll, it will be very easy (sort of) to start to forget about that trade.
Until then, and especially if Naps and Texas do well, it will be a horse that will never die.

That's right. We are using the sports version of the "Royal 'We'" afterall.
"To Halowood - Avoid the Clap." - Jimmy Dugan
I've gone back and forth on this in my own mind...but I agree.
It’s a metaphore, and everyone understands what is meant – except asses.
I go back and forth on it too
I only really use the “we” in reference to UCLA. I graduated from there, and there seems to be more of a connection there. I sometimes use the we with the Angels, but there’s not that same type of connection. I wouldn’t use the “we” with any other professional team though.
But yeah, everyone knows what it means. And the people who nitpick at it are kinda douchey.
I will admit though I'm a hypocrite too because...
…whenever I hear a Yankee or Sox fan say it, I’ll make fun of them in the usual manner.
Mostly because I want to think they really do think they are somehow involved with the success (or fame and lore at the very least) of their respective teams.
Otherwise, I think it’s very clear that for most casual and even hardcore fans, the “we” is simply used to associate your fandom of said team.
well
Red Sox fans are part of an actual “nation”, so I’d say they’re allowed to do it.

4th highest payroll in baseball

The other way to look at it is...

…then you won’t see Arte open his pockets like this as much.
If we just had a GM that knew how to use this opportunity while it’s here, it might be something the franchise could really build on.
Time will tell how this all works out and affects the years to come…

Tony traded talent and increased payroll to get Haren here.

If you don't mind my asking,
Were the movers really expensive? I only ask because I loathe moving, almost as much as Mathis or snuggies. Lucky for me i’m not moving far, just across town here in Temecula.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
found them on craigslist
and they do flat rates, which is why I chose them. I’ve heard stories of movers who get paid by the hour who move super slow just milking the clock, so I avoided that. I could see myself just freaking out on a couple guys if they were moving slow and I was paying them $60 an hour.
I would’ve done the uhaul/laborer route, but I waited too long and all the uhauls around my hood don’t have the size truck I need. so I’m dropping $350 flat for a couple guys who’ll show up with a truck and get it done. keep in mind though, I am in a 1 bedroom (although I have A LOT of shit), so if you’ve got a bigger place it’ll most definitely cost more.
after doing the math, I would’ve dropped around $250-$280 if I had gone the uhaul/laborer route, so I’m paying more this way, buts its way more convenient. and I’m already stressed out enough about the whole deal.

Remember
Drinks+Food+Tips+Greater Service to the self employed. Offer them something to drink while you give them the walk through on what needs to get done. Be the boss but good and fair boss. It will go along way to better service.
They set the price, you can also tip them for better service that you didn’t expect.
Good Luck on the move.
thanks for the advice
I plan on tipping them, got a fridge full of beverages and was planning on ordering a pizza for lunch, so I’m good to go. shoots

Yeah, you're probably right
Just frustrating to see the fastest guy on the team get on base with no one out and instead of getting him into scoring position with less than 2 outs, it turns into a double play.
getting our fastest player in scoring position for the meat of our order with one out.
How is this not your ideal sacrifice bunt situation?
If I were Soth I would have made Aybar get it down with 2 strikes.
Aybar 100% deserves blame for that. Needless bashing, IMO.
