   LA Times: Angels are outmatched by lowly Astros in 7-6 defeat

   • 314 views

   Catcher Hank Conger commits three errors and C.J. Wilson gives up a three-run homer as the Angels fall to 11-21. HOUSTON — At this rate, teams will soon look at the Angels as a welcome respite on the schedule, an opponent that, like the lowly Houston Astros, they can use to fatten up their record.

   LA Times: Josh Hamilton staying calm in face of his deep slump

   The Angels outfielder is batting only .202, but he says he says it doesn't help him to get angry about it. 'I need to keep working,' he says, 'and when it clicks it will click.' HOUSTON — It's probably not what Angels fans want to hear, but Josh Hamilton is not going to beat himself up publicly or start throwing bats in frustration over his horrendous slump.

   With the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to see why the Angels find themselves off to their worst start in franchise history, but there's plenty of season left for them to find the form that made them one of the preseason favorites in the American League. View the full article

   "You've got to tip your cap to a young, hungry, gritty, talented, and championship caliber Houston team. I think baseball has really underestimated that guy who manages Houston's team, he's got his guys grinding it out there. We had to intentionally walk that guy, he's one of the most dangerous hitters in the league. The heat hurt our guys too, I actually considered taking off my jacket. The heat had an adverse effect on Hanky's PMA, which in turn hurt his CERA. It was a character building experience for Hanky. Also for anybody worried about the team's problems, I called up an exterminator and he'll be making sure we tip our cap and turn the page to those flies in o…

    Ok, Sooooo for Ghits and Siggles, lets pretend that Arte & Jedi hear the fanbases cries and they tell Scioscia to pack it up. Who comes into this mess?? Who handles the big names and even bigger contracts? Tito is in Cleveland and the chance to get him was really this winter before the Tribe got him - didn't happen. LaRussa is 100% done managing and has said so many times in no such nice terms more often than not - NOT happening. Torre has a cushy job with the MLB Front Office and did not fair very well the last time he was outside of New York - WONT happen. Erstad, frankly, is likely nowhere near ready I imagine this has already become enough of a circus fo…

    The baseball gods are doing the on-field equivalent of trolling the Angels right now. It's not just that they're 11-20, with Josh Hamilton slumping and every facet of their team -- starting pitching, relief pitching, baserunning, defense, production -- in a rut through the first five weeks of the season. It's that so many of the players they've discarded recently are, well, thriving. See for yourself ... RF Torii Hunter (offered little more than a $5 million base salary, plus incentives, this offseason before he inked a two-year, $26 million deal with the Tigers): .361/.406/.479 slash line through his first 27 games in the No. 2 spot for first-place Detroit. …

    By Gregory Bird, AngelsWin.com Staff Writer - We are all experiencing this Yogi quote here on AngelsWin and so I think it is time for a team progress report from Inside Edge. I remember when I was a good, hardworking student I didn’t mind my parents seeing my progress report but if I wasn’t doing well or had been messing around then I dreaded it being mailed home. I feel like just writing “you’re crappy, do betterâ€� as my progress report for the team but that would be a lot like the last Angels’ game I watched, depressing. So instead I will look at Angels’ player trends in measurable ways with the existing sample size and give them a grade. Yes, the grades…

    Trout's WAR 1 2 3

    • 3.1k views

    I don't know why this pleases me, but Trout's WAR is now up to 1.3 - tied with Bryce Harper. Compare their raw stats: Harper: .320/.412/.660, 9 HR, 1 SB Trout: .270/.341/.492, 4 HR, 4 SB The difference? Well its all in the defense (Fld, or Fielding Runs) and baserunning (BsR, or Baserunning runs): Harper: -1.8 Fld, -0.9 BsR Trout: 2.4 Fld, 1.9 BsR Now consider that Trout is more likely to improve his triple-slash numbers; I'm guessing he ends up with something north of .290+/.370+/.500+, around 25 HR and 40 SB. Right now he's on pace for a 7+ fWAR; I see no reason with those improvements he can't end with 8+. And Harper? Obviously he's the real deal …
