Hisanori Takahashi Ruins Angels Afternoon

The Angels lost to the Tigers 5-4 in Anaheim after Hisanori Takahashi walked the leadoff batter of the 7th inning. After a nice 15-5 stretch, the Angels weak middle relief again destroyed their chances of thriving in close games yet again. The big offseason signing by Tony Reagins blew a 3-2 Tyler Chatwood lead by walking the leadoff batter, the one thing he is not supposed to do.
In case Takahashi's mom is on google: 尚高橋は7回の先頭打者のバッターを歩いた後に天使はアナハイム図5-4タイガースに敗れた。すてきな15から5ストレッチの後、天使弱い真ん中の救済は、またして再び接戦に繁栄のチャンスを破壊した。トニーReaginsによって署名ビッグオフシーズンはリードオフ打者を歩いて3月2日タイラーチャットウッドリードを吹いた、一つのことは彼が行うことになっていません。
After scoring three runs in the first inning, the Angels early effort fizzled and they went quietly against Brad Penny. Alberto Callaspo made a costly error to ruin a nice effort by rookie Tyler Chatwood. Takahashi came into the 6th inning with one out and nobody on and got two done with. But he came back out for the seventh and walked a guy batting under .250 who scored on a hit after being bunted over. Michael Kohn came in and served up a plate of meatball to All-Star Miguel Cabrera who planted a homerun into the visitor's bullpen. Mark Trumbo hit a solo shot in the bottom of the inning to get the Angels back to within one but it was not to be.
The Angels did take the series from the Tigers, their 7th in a row. They open a four-game homestand against the Mariners at home tomorrow night.

Is the blame
Are you sure he was safe? It looked like an out to the entire statium. Well bad call Blue.

Put that poor thing out of its misery.
I love this team.

Bummer ...
Not blaming the umps, but Joe West should be fired.
Along with:
Angel Hernandez
Jim Joyce
Doug Eddings
and any other ump who has become a household name; their job is to be invisible to the fans.
I love this team.
Disagree with Joyce
Heard he’s a good umpire allaround, the thing with Galarraga last year a fluke. Plus he showed class+remorse afterwards, where West would take it as an opportunity to promote his new album or something.

If I know you by name, you are bigger than the game.
OUT. Sorry.

I would definitely disagree with this
Joyce is known for one bad incident that he handled very well.

Jim Joyce is a good umpire in my opinion. One bad call robbing Gallaraga of a perfect game.
However Gallaraga is a douche. Working for the Las Vegas triple A team. He was an incessant douche for four straight games.

I blame the offense
Outside of the first inning they disappeared. Izturis, Callaspo, Conger, and Bourjos did absolutely nothing.

that's pretty bad
basically if I’m reading it right, not giving Chatwood the low strikes nor the outside corner off the plate strikes, while giving them to Detroit…….
Vernon Well's Current Average = .211 Current # of outs = Don't ask him
TY Tony!
That's awful
The Angels got exactly one ball called a strike (possibly two – it looks like one is hidden up there). The Tigers got at least six.
The Angels had at least seven strikes called a ball. The Tigers had two (or three if you include the one at the bottom).
Screw you, Joe West.

One of the most infuriating games of the season
The Angels have pissed me off plenty this year, but nothing is worse than horrible officiating. “An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous.”

i was waiting for an opportunity to post this
first time I saw him I knew he looked like piston honda
That Sucked.
Hard to keep the Tiger offense down, so I’m not super angry about the home run.
Takeashitti should not walk that dude.
But we still win if we don’t give up 2 unearned runs.
I saw most of the game but not the Collapso error – so I don’t the severity, but still.
Mathis is a sign of The Apocalypse.
"And God looked upon The Angels lineup, and, behold, it was corrupt."
If you put the Japanese excerpt above back into a translator and ask it to convert it back to English, this is the result:
“After also Takahashi walked the batters of 7 times of head batters an/the angel was defeated in Anaheim Figure 5-4 Tigers. Fine 15 to 5 stretches after, angel weak middle of help wa, and also does once again close battle to prosperity of chance obj destroyed. the the a/the the One case that a signature big off season walks a/the lead off batter by トニー Reagins and blew a/the タイラー chat wood lead on March 2 is not assumed that he does it.”
"Mike Scioscia?! Didn't you get radiation poisoning?"
"I sure did. And it gave me super managing powers!"
was your translator DOV?

I did the same earlier.
It said the Angels defeated the Tigers 5-4.
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
I'll defend Scioscia's bullpen usage
Takahashi only got two outs in the sixth, so he comes back out for the 7th. Yeah, the walk to Austin Jackson wasn’t ideal, but it’s still only a runner on first, and you’d like to keep him in to face Dirks, the lefty. Plus Ramon Santiago doesn’t scare anyone. Unfortunately, he can’t do his job and Dirks ties it up.
So now you’ve got Cabrera coming up. Obviously you need to go to a right-hander. You’ve got Kohn or Thompson. Thompson’s been struggling. Kohn hasn’t been great, but he’s got the better pure stuff and has been better than Chopper recently.
I just think that given Thompson’s struggles, Scioscia didn’t want to put him in the game in the middle of an inning with the winning run on base against one of the best hitters in the game. I don’t blame him.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I rather have the struggling reliever who has otherwise been pretty darn good this season in that situation
Than the inexperienced reliever with terrible command.
It's not like Thompson has a ton more experience
79 IP vs. 30 for Kohn. And most of the reason Thompson has struggled recently is that his command has been way off. After not walking practically anyone at the beginning of the year, he’d walked 5 in 7.2 IP the last month or so.
Even so, I still think you want the guy with the better stuff facing Cabrera there. But my point is mainly that I don’t think the difference was so great that Scioscia’s an idiot for choosing Kohn. You want a right-hander who can strike the guy out. If he walks…eh, no big deal. You go after Martinez then. The choice between Kohn and Thompson in that situation is practically a toss-up. I could also see, all else equal, wanting to save Thompson for possible extra innings once the game was tied, since he can go longer.

What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
for real tho.

Yes..
Haren is an ace. Chatwood is a number 5 starter. Apples are not oranges.
Seems like Weaver also used to have short outings with way to many baserunners
Weaver’s stuff is better than Chatwood’s but hopefully he can improve his efficiency
Sosh must have once said something really bad to Joe West
Because it sure seems that whenever he calls an Angel game, West is determined to stick it to the Angels.
Or maybe I’m only aware of how awful his strike zone is with the Angels because I’m an Angel fan and in reality he just sucks overall.
Joe West did supply the winning run for the Angels yesterday
He probably felt like he needed to even the score.
Yes. And reading the paper this morning, apparently Joe West is already well known
around the league for his “inconsistent strike zone” and “unbending treatment of rookies”.
In other words, a total douchebag.

We weren't going to win this one
with Cowpie Joe behind the plate.
My daughter, ashamed of my suspenders?
Scioscia deserves his fair share of the blame.
Thompson should have started the 7th, no question about it.
I had to leave the game early, so i'm not sure who really deserves the BOTG,
So i’ll just blame the umpires. Joe West is a douche.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....

No question about it.

Sad to say it, but I'm going to miss the Detroit announcers
They know WAY more about our own team than our own announcers do. It’s nice listening to some professionals every now and then. Comparatively, it’s like our announcers just roll out of bed and go do the game with no prep work. The mediocrity is amazing relative to the size of the audience we have. I don’t know how, we as fans, put up with it.
BOTG = Jose Offerman at third base
First game I went to of the season and first career Angels loss I attended.
It was a shame to see Callaspo half ass routine grounders. He bobbled two of them. First one he got lucky and still threw the runner out. Second one ended up leading to Chatwood’s 2 unearned runs.
It was just that he errorer ( “to err is human”), its the fact that he didn’t attack the grounder with the same professionalism and attitude that Kendrick and IZturis did.
You must suffer from a small sample size ... or are EXTREMEMLY LUCKY!
I have seen 64 losses just over the last 4.5 seasons!!!!!!!!!!
(i’ve also seen 78 wins, btw)…
I love this team.

Angels' 2011 W-L record with the alternate red jersey: 13-7
I have a small sample size
8 total games including yesterday:
2 at Dodger Stadium
1 at Oakland
5 in Anaheim
THanks to Collapso, first Angels loss I attended.
7-1 is a darn good record.
My best win % is 2009, when I went 20-9 for the season inclusive of my stellar 3-0 playoff record.
I love this team.

I'm one of the "evil" people ... a ticket seller; so I kept track of my costs...
I sell in order to fuel my desire to see games. In 2007 (the only year I came out with POSITIVE CASH), I walked away with $500 and saw 25 games. Not a bad deal, eh? The lack of cash for “average joe” since then has not made it a good proposition to buy and re-sell any longer. But what I do sell nowadays puts a dent into my initial outlay, bringing my “cost-basis per ticket” down to sub-$10 range for much more decent seats than could be bought from the Angels as a SSH.
As documented here at HH a few times, I also bought and re-sold maybe 5 sets of NFL playoff tickets in 2004 … made enough to cover my economy-class flight, compact rental car, cheesy hotel room and ONE SECOND ROW 40-YARD LINE TICKET to see the Rams beat the Seahawks in a Wild Card game at Qwest Field in Seattle. To top it off, I was spotted clear as day on the national TV broadcast during the game wearing my Eric Dickerson jersey. I have a DVD copy of that game to prove it. Life is good.
I love this team.
