Ervin Santana Magic Spellbinds A's in Angels Win

Final Score in Anaheim: LA of Anaheim: 4 ... KC of Oakland: 1
Ervin Santana on occasion has it working. When he does he is a great pitcher. Tonight he had it working. He pitched a great game. The force was with him on the 34th Anniversary of Star Wars premiering in theaters. If Ervin pitched like this every game he would probably still lose the Cy Young to Annie Hall but he'd do great box office.
When Alberto Callaspo hits a homerun, when Reggie Willits drives in a run, when Peter Bourjos drives in a run and you are on the mound, the force is strong with you that night. And that night was tonight. Instead of always thinking about the future, Ervin closed his eyes and trusted his feelings. Plus he had some stellar defense behind him.
Highlight of the game was probably Alexi Amarista headfirst slide somersault safe at first. Drink up in celebration, Angels fans, the Magic was on tonight, the halo shines alight and I'm driving... May the force be with us all...

Cautious yet very optimistic about the 2011 Season. Go Angels.

Did you catch what Victor said when Torii hit his HR?
Something about the long wait since his last HR two games ago.

Question
Who pitched the 7th?
I only caught the 9th inning (school) and I’m assuming Downs pitched the 8th

He also had a sac bunt...but we knew he could do that...
And of course we wasted the 2 RISP with 1 out.
Weird Beard!
And we still won.

Another (more general) question
What does this blog thing of Mike Butcher?
I know we hate Hatcher but I don’t quite remember seeing much [site decorum] hailed at Butcher. (except when Kazmir first started falling apart)

Can we attribute ol Joe Saunder’s success to Butcher?
Cause he really sucks now…
And I wonder why Piniero has suddenly become so good (he wasn’t THAT great when we signed him…)

He's had back issues
He’s probably just going to be a backup and bat off the bench, so hopefully that won’t be an issue
I'll take it if it's on the cheap

No expensive unnecessary signings, please.
Especially for someone with injury issues. (as detailed above)
I don’t even really think this is necessary, but it might add an extra hedge of protection. Aside from that, I think we could do without.

When IS he supposed to be back?
I think they’ll keep him in left, or spell a struggling Trombombless
The last I heard is that they are going to have him do some light running drills tomorrow
and then decide whether to place him on the 15 DL or not.

That desition took awhile
But Kaz is hurt, so who knows when it come to the DL with this team.
Little OT: I didn’t know they have a 7 day DL now. So what is it: 7; 15; 30; and 90. Or are there more?
There's a 60 day DL
Never heard of the 90 day one

7 day DL is reserved for concussions I think

by ryanfea on May 25, 2011 11:20 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
It's more of a "maternity leave" DL
Concussions usually lead to a spot on the 15 day DL

Concussion DL
It’s a new thing this year. Seven days. It has been used once or twice already this year (by other teams).
There is also a family leave-type DL as well. But that’s entirely different.
PH and spot OF/DH
It’s better than Willits coming off the bench late in the game.

Fun one to go too. Ervin was worrying me with the pitch count, and handing off any game to Rodney scares me; however, it’s nice to be surprised sometimes.
Amarista should become an acrobat if this baseball thing doesn’t work out for him.

Torii with yet another game-winning hit
He’s close to leading the league in that category I believe
(along, of course, with leading the league in GIDP’s)
The magic was only needing the usual four runs to win the game. True Voodoo.

Ervin has actually pitched really well this year
I don’t think it’s an accident that his ERA has been trending downward.

Went to the game tonight,
And Voodoo looked good. And Willits was a beast tonight, by Willits standards, good game all in all. Nice to go to back-to-back games that we won. ( I was there Sunday too) I’ve been to six games this year, and we’ve lost 4. Guess I shouldn’t go to games.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Good Job Rodney! ***pats head***
I just have a feeling he needs positive reinforcement.
