Dan Haren 2 Hits Tigers, Angels Beat Ejected Justin Verlander

PrintFinal Score in Anaheim: Angels 1 Tigers 0
Dan Haren pitched a complete game 2-hit shutout against the Detroit Tigers and benefited from Howie Kendrick scoring on an Erick Aybar double in the 2nd inning for the game's only run.
All-Star Justin Verlander hit triple digits a few times and pitched his way out of a bases-loaded, no outs situation late in the game, but Haren had little trouble dispatching the usually fearsome Tigers lineup. A great defense behind him saw what might have been four hits turned into outs with a Maicer Izturis barehanded infield grab, a dive and recover at the line by 1B Mark Trumbo to save what easily would have been a double, a catch in the RF alley by CF Peter Bourjos and the catch of the game, on the run at the wall of the LF alley by the casually extended, hip-high glove of Vernon Wells.
Aybar was the only Angel with two hits. Torii Hunter was 0 for 4 including yet another GIDP and a flyout with the bases loaded to end the 6th inning. Jeff Mathis struck out in a choking, pathetic manner earlier that inning with the bases loaded and nobody out and Verlander looking all too human. What was Mathis doing starting the game? Oh ask Lyle Spencer at mlb.com the world's All-Star Mathis apologists.
The Detroit All-Star pitcher, his manager Jim Leyland and Angels starting DH Bobby Abreu were not around having each been ejected by the three worst umpires in baseball not named Doug Eddings: Angel Campos tossed Bobby at Home Plate for arguing balls and strikes in the first inning, Angel Hernandez tossed an already departing Verlander, taken out of the game with two outs in the 8th inning by Lloyd McClendon who had taken over for Tigers manager Jim Leyland, ejected by the butternut-squash-neckjowl himself, Joe West.

Haren is the panther but the Defense behind him deserves commendation
the defense in front of Haren is another story, but we won’t think about that too much since this was such a great performance from the Halos. Also the umpires sucked, but in retrospect it was kind of entertaining.
Joe West giveth
Joe West taketh away (tomorrow)

Yep

He's approaching 31 right now
With declining strikeout rate and velocity. I think it is a mistake to give lots of years to a pitcher over 30 because they generally aren’t worth it, unless you front-load the contract, then it might be defensible.
We still have him for 2012 and a club option for 2013, so I wouldn’t talk about extensions just yet.

OT: I'm in the middle of reading "Sixty Feet, Six Inches"
The book is really good and Reggie Jackson seems like a very humble, intelligent guy.
On the other hand, Bob Gibson seems really cocky.
"Just another Halo victory" - Rory Markas
Reggie on the other hand wants everyones attention
and a 60+ year old asshole is not going to create a following, while Gibby has all of them Red Bird fans to be proud of.
Yeah Bob Gibson, despite having a very "I'm the man" persona
He understands his own weaknesses and strengths.
"Just another Halo victory" - Rory Markas
really?
I had to force myself thru 50 pages of that book just to see if would get any better before giving it away. Reading conversation between those 2 stroking each others egos was nauseating. You’re right though, Reggie is a bit more humble but not by much.

Haren deserves going to the all-star game but he pitches Sunday anyways so he wouldn't play
I like the way our pitching is lining up this week. Haren is up against Felix on Sunday. Ought be another good one.
Love it.
and it’s definitely true. Verlander may have the fastball but Weaver imo is the better pitcher.
Baseball is a funny game...
It was pretty cool before the Twins game
when they put up all of the various stats, and seeing one of our pitchers in every top 5 list. Weav was #1 in ERA, Downs and Waldo were top 5 in their specific areas.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Haren and Weav seem to have become good friends.
At the games, when both have the night off, the two of them are always standing at the dugout railing together gabbing and laughing. Sometimes some other random player joins them, but the two of them are always there together. The shared experiences of SoCal kids?

meant to reply to the post about the poll voting above this one
and no his punishment was having to hang with Sosh in the clubhouse
Tomorrow...
get away game for Detroit after getting shut down in the first two facing a pitcher who throws to contact. Add the daytime baseball jet stream along with Jaba Joe West behind the dish and it should be interesting. Hope we get to Penny early.
why are you peeps voting for Mathis?
And why is the score 1-1?
And were there any SB’s?
that’s it.

Pirates fan on SBN Bucs Dugout, defending Wood and his .220 BA:
“Guessing you are watching a different guy than I am in the field
He is a pretty damn good fielding 3B and is more than serviceable at SS. Not to the level of Ronny or Chase, but still pretty decent.”
wood's glove is pretty damn good.
if he keeps this up, should be finishing the year around 240-250.
we’d be pretty happy if a certain left fielder finishes with that average. but hey, what do you expect for 20-some million.

I'm for Wood and the Pirates.
Something about Anaheim just wasn’t working for him. Glad to see Pittsburgh is treating him well. Every year I pick an underdog to root for in the NL, and this year it’s the Pirates. I doubt they’ll be able to keep the good play up, but it’s still fun to watch.

WHIP it good
Haren at .96, WTY at .92.
Only 2 times since 1918 has a pitching staff finished with 2 pitchers over 162 innings with WHIP under 1.
Combined WAR to date of your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fantastic Five (VW, Torii, Kazmir, GMJ, Premium) -1. WAR leader: GMJ:0. Combined 2011 salary: $66,600,000.
When a problem comes along
You must WHIP it

Trumbo's stop and VW's catch were two of the Capital One plays of the day last nit
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Play of the game - Bourjos' great leap (but fail) at the ball that hit the right-center field wall.
I was sitting on the third-base side of the stadium. You could hear the boom very clearly as he crashed into the wall. I was glad to see him bounce off it and immediately make the throw to the infield. Had that been Torii, I think the result would have been different (think stretcher/medical aid).
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
Nice
So cool to be right there and see these plays made.
(I wonder if Torii might have caught it, btw??? :-)
No way Torii would have caught up to it. Bourjos would have made a true circus catch (Vin Skully lingo) if he had hauled it in.
Bourjos missed it by about four inches while three feet in the air. It was a great “almost” catch.
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
You happen to be absolutely right about the Borjous effort...it was amazing effort. He just missed it.
The rest of your post is spin. And it’s wrong. I loved the play. But he actually did not catch it. His future isn’t tied to Torii. He’s a better CF today than Torri, but the school of baseball I come from says the kid has a long way to go to constantly be in the same sentence. For the record, they’re on the same team. But truth is, it was my favorite play. If you repeated it again he would catch it, of you rewinded it 6 years Torii would catch it.

And Dan Haren is a stud. Per the post game interview (in case you missed it): “It was great, I beat the second best pitcher in the league tonight.” (A nod to Weaver). Classy quote.

So. I'm not trying to say I'm good luck or anything....
But. My games attended resume for this season are:
Haren’s one-hitter against Cleveland
Weaver’s 15 K game against Toronto
Haren’s two-hitter in 7.2 against Washington (President’s Race)
Haren’s two-hit shutout against Detroit
Can anyone top that?
Haren might win the Cy Young if I go to all his starts.

you go to a game and your stats get thrown out the window.
