Angels Waste Late Rally, Lose to Rays in Extras, 4-3

Bobby Abreu hit a bases-clearing double to tie the game in the bottom of the 8th inning, only to see Fernando Rodney walk the leadoff batter in the top of the 10th. And you know how THAT goes. A potential game-winning shot to center by Abreu in the bottom half fell just short -- a fitting metaphor for the Angels offense so far this season. In this episode, the Angels get swept by the Rays.

It should never ever get to Fraudney
In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

Holy crap, no it isn't
Who else is back there? Rodney has to pitch sometime, and with the way the Angels play (low-scoring), they are going to have more high late innings than other teams. It’s reality. Rodney is better than Jepsen, and probably equal to Bell and Takahashi. Heck, Thompson has been struggling lately.
Yes, Rodney is bad. But that’s not Scioscia’s fault. He needs to manage the pen so he doesn’t destroy Downs and Walden.

a horrible season is what this team needs, if only, to get tony reagins fired and some media pressure on scioscia’s in game decisions. Of course, calling tony reagins the worst gm in baseball is basically taking a shot at Scioscia, since he has his hand in every move, especially something in the off season.

all I can think of-- baseball isn't billboards.
lets face it.. its fuckin’ billboards.
Arte wasn’t splicing atoms or designing a cold fusion motor. Possibly not the sharpest tool in the shed, but is blessed with an ungodly amount of money. He’s positioned himself into taking some horrible baseball advice, and, quite possibly, is still making a profit from ticket sales and stadium operations so he hasn’t been too quick to react to the downward spiral the ballclub has taken.
Hopefully he will figure it out, surround himself with some smarter people (think sosh, when the ballclub was good) and do a press junket in the off-season about how he’s doing whatever it takes to win… or some other bullshit machismo quote.

If you can make billions off of billboards, you’re obviously not an idiot.
Arte has made ~$300M off of the Angels, from what he paid, to what they are currently valued.
Problem is that he is very loyal and has given Reagins too long of a leash. We’re about to wrap up 2 losing seasons in a row, I’m not sure how many more it will take. I pray not more than 3 and hope for only 2.
Relax. Being 5.5 games back is nothing and made up in a week!

Blaming it on Rodney is more fail that he is.
It’s like blaming a loss on the ump or refs (in another sport).
It should never have got to where you depend on a player you already know is The Suck.
And when he loses it for the team, being surprised is only allowed for those who just started following baseball.
The blame falls on all those before him who failed – over and over (save for Bobbeh).
fruadney
because everyone knows out offense can’t score more than 3 runs.
o_O
Why
was Downs allowed to throw only four pitches? He should have been there in the 9th, with Walden lined up for the 10th before Rodney ever should have been handed the ball.
I think I'm going to put my positive Angels talk shtick to rest.
The biggest differences between the 2 teams game-wide were obvious.
1. FAR too many runners left on base
2. 2 Errors
The last nail in the coffin was definitely Fernando Rodney’s lack of clutch ability, or for that matter any true pitching ability at all. Walking like that is just not a good sign.
Question of the day: Where is the good ol’ fundamental “it’s just” (in the words of Sosh) baseball that this team built itself around? It just seems like everybody has been asleep for the past 1 1/2 years now.
Slump buster: Break out videos of the last season of REAL Angels baseball, the ‘09 season and have the team and coaches compare with now. Find out what’s missing in the play style and strategy. I truly don’t know what can help this team, but anything’s worth a try at this point.

Kazmir's rehab assignment should be up soon
They’ll need to either activate him or DFA him within 30 days.
How about Wells leaving them loaded by swinging at a helmet-high fastball?
That had to be the fail of the game.
I think that was the pitch in the LH batter's box K
Helmet-high fastball was after Abreu’s double.
I could be wrong though, it’s getting hard to keep track of Vernon’s ugly Ks
Too High in the BMI
I not just saying that to be mean (it’s implied I hate him something righteous).
He doesn’t mean to swing at pitches that high or intentionally have slow bat speed – but his sugar levels are so high from eating bacon wrapped twinkies that it’s a physiological issue which he can’t control.
You can also notice this is in lack of hustle in the outfield, lack of speed grinding out to first, etc.
I think the only solution is for all of us to email Obama’s wife and force her to use Wells as a public posterchild for obesity and put pressure on him to lose weight. And we need to do this fast before the Obama administration and Obamacare collapse under it’s own weight (or Wells weight, whichever comes first).
And yes, medical obesity is considered being 30 pounds over your target weight (or BMI over 30).
I think he might be doubly obese.
Too High in the BMI – my new nick for him (yeah, I know – get in line)

The sting ...
the thing that really pisses me off, but doesn’t surprise me, is that Tampon Bay was struggling coming into this series. Then they sweep us. FAIL.
Glad to see Torii extend his league lead in GIDP. Feels good to have a lead in some offensive category.
Also, I had choice seats in F125 and saw Weaver throw shit and go nuts when he got back in the dugout. Did that make it on the broadvast?
I love this team.
No it didn't make it on the broadcast...
…but I didn’t catch the part where he said “CALL BORAS – I rather play for the Oaxaca Parish Convent of the Immaculate Hearts Sisters Ladies Mountains of Guadalupe farm team than this crap-ass outfit!”
The only problem is, I’m not sure we can get enough donkeys in return for Weaver to make it worth it.

So what team do you figure will make the biggest run at him in the offseason?
I don’t think even the cowabunga dude weather of SoCal will make him want to deal with another year of wasted pitching excellence on this team.
It’s a shame because when he started out finally getting support at the beginning of the season, I thought “finally!”. The poor guy never seemed to get a break with this offense last year.
And then… the hitters remembered that they suck.
He’s going to want to find a team where he can experience what an offense is and doesn’t waste his starts.
by Hoppity Hooper on Jun 8, 2011 11:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, he won't become a free agent until the end of 2012
It’s hard to predict exactly which teams will be the most motivated for first-class pitching that far into the future. But the big-budget clubs in the East are always looking for starter, and they can pretty much guarantee him offensive support. If that’s what he really wants, someone will be there to offer.
Not sure why I was thinking he could walk after the end of this season
I must have been catching his thoughts of him WISHING he were leaving after this year.

I called Mathis bunt fail before it happened and Torii’s GIDP before it happened as well as every fail at the plate for Wells, my nephew and brother in law were shaking their heads.

Not sure how you blame Rodney
If it wasn’t him giving up a run, it would have been some other reliever later.
Last I checked the offense has to score runs to win and this team can’t score. It probably would have been another 8 innings before we pushed another run across.
5 runs in a 3 game series?!?!?! 16 runs in the last 8 games… pathetic.
When was the last time we even had a lead, last Friday?
so we should be thanking rodney then

This team is on the edge.
You could see it out there tonight. One of two things is going to happen. They are either gonna use their anger, get focused and start winning..or they are about to devolve into a clubhouse wreck, pointing fingers and badmouthing each other. Weaver looked ready to kill someone. I think the yard crew had to go replace the divot from Wells slamming his bat into the ground like Bam Bam. It doesn’t look to me like they have any real clubhouse leadership. Letting 5 veterans go after 2009 was a huge mistake that left a massive leadership vacuum.
Where are those veterans now?
Darren Oliver: making awesome in Texas.
Chone Figgins: sucking in Seattle.
John Lackey: sucking in Boston.
Vladimir Guerrero: sucking in Baltimore.
Gary Matthews Jr.: sucking on his sofa.
If the Angels had kept them all, they’d be plus one solid reliever and minus 10000 for the rest. No amount of “leadership” would make up for that. The problem isn’t who they let go, it’s who they planned to replace them with.

I think you are being too generous Subop.
You said “who they planned to replace them with.” There was a plan?
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
The funny thing is, having Vlad would actually be a plus for the Angels right now
I would argue that having Abreu as the LF and Vlad as the DH, despite the massive hit in defense would still be better for the Angels because it would mean no Vernon Wells and his albatross of a contract. (And Vlad is still hitting better than Vernon for a lot less money.)
Lackey always sucked in Boston. I don’t know what made him think that by putting on their uniform he was going to suddenly pitch well in that park. Vladdy was hotter than hell last year and everywhere he goes the latino players seem to start producing better. And…I’m not totally convinced that Figgy’s performance with Seattle isn’t at least partly because of the environment he plays in…they’ve really mis-managed that guy from the moment he got there.
But, that wasn’t my point, anyway. This team for two years straight has gone thru pretty large transformations. People talk a lot about a rebuilding year….look around you. This team has basically been doing that these past two seasons.
Abreu and Hunter aren't veterans?
And at this point, guys like Weaver, Santana, Kendrick and Haren should be considered veterans too. The problem is too many old guys and role players being expected to perform like superstars (or at least everyday starters) in their prime.

I can't blame Rodney this time
He might have still been able to get out of the inning with the two runners at 1st/2nd, but that Jaso play was the backbreaker. That was on Callaspo. Not to mention that odd mound bounce on the Longoria hit.
Feels weird to defend him, but there it is. The offense had plenty of chances, and they only cashed in that one time to tie the game. Not good enough. Bobby gave it his best shot, but that’s as far as it went.

I give them to the end of June
If we can’t start to piece it together against the mediocre NL East teams we get to face, then I’ll officially give up hope.
Also, I agree that there is most likely no way Weaver stays in Anaheim unless we sign like Pujols and another huge hitter.

I'm still trying to figure out anyone not wearing red-tinted glasses can see how he ever could/would stay in LAA regardless...
I figured anyone not new to Angels baseball (under Arte) has come to understand the business protocol when it comes to upper-tier free agents, length of contract, and $$$.
It ain’t gonnas happens.
This is the fallacy of the Wells trade
It will take at least $25m per year to get Pujols; I’m guessing he gets over $28m per when it’s all said and done. To keep Weaver long-term will be at least $18m per. So, is Arte going to keep payroll above $170m?
The Angels were never going to get Pujols.
I don’t believe it for a minute. The Wells trade hasn’t affected that, because they were never going to make a serious run at Pujols to begin with. Arte won’t pony up the money and years for one guy that Pujols will demand.
I agree - my point is just that: Arte will not pony up the cash / years for a Ferrari (Pujols)
…but he will spend his cash on what has been a Yugo thus far (Wells)
Have you gone to a game this week?
Outside of a few thousand “native New Yorkers” this weekend, there have been a ton of empty seats lately.
How do you have...
A runner on second and third with zero outs, and not score?
How do you have a runner on second with zero outs, right after a momentum building bases clearing double, and not score?
I mean, at what point does Scosia have to slap the hitters silly and say, “MAKE F-ING CONTACT, AND IF YOU CAN’T, I’LL SIT YOU DOWN FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN!”
Jeebus, I mean, the offensive showing was largely pathetic, but hey, every team goes through slumps. What-evs. But the horrible inexcusable thing is failure to get runners over and runners in through productive outs.
The most depressing thing about this team
Is that despite Scioscia’s insistence on continuing to play smallball, they can’t do it. Mathis pops up a bunt with runners on first and second and no outs. Then Torii grounds into a DP one batter later. Three straight Ks with guys on second and third. They can’t hit normally and they can’t hit situationally.
It’s hard to watch.

CONGER, CONGER, CONGER !!!
I think there's some rule in baseball that if you can't hit, you have to be able to do things like bunt successfully in exchange for a roster spot.
That must be what Soth was thinking.
Oh wait, no, didn’t Soth say something a couple of weeks ago about how well Mathis was hitting the ball but things just weren’t dropping for hits. Maybe that’s the problem, he asked his power bat to do something a power guy shouldn’t be doing.
Think about it, the guy we shipped off who competed with Mathis for catching time currently has a 127 OPS+, so Mathis must be even better.
I think we have the answer to that fanpost about who should be in the cleanup spot.

Hopefully they use this day off
to rest up and kick some Kansas City butt tomorrow. Gotta think positive
So....
We still have a lot of season left to play. Seattle won’t keep up their success and Texas is a shitty state full of shitty people.
That being said, we’re not out of this yet. We’re also not the Twins for the Nats. It could be worse.
Also, we have some valuable trade chips. I’m hoping there’s a trade out there that will make both teams involved better. At this point, I don’t feel it’s a stretch to imagine Aybar, Callaspo, Kendrick, Trumbo, Wilson, or any of our pitching prospects as all viable people we can move in order to improve.
Here’s to looking forward.
