Sean Burnett: 'Still not able to get over the hump' #Angels http://www.ocregister.com/angels/burnett-606940-bullpen-hump.html â€¦

Burnett threw 'pen today. Didn't have setback, but is still not where he needs to be. Sosh: "Not the breakthrough 'pen we were looking for."

#Angels LHP Sean Burnett completed pen but "wasn't able to turn the ball loose like needs to," MGR Mike Scioscia said.

 

 

jebus, this is getting ridiculous.

[ukyah]

i mean this with all seriousness, even absolving dipoto of the blame, but has there ever been a worse crop of free agent acquisitions? i know there's been more expensive and, individually, others have performed worse, but the angels signed four pitchers and none of them helped the angels.

[Angel Oracle]

I'm moving on from Burnett. Just give the lefty role in the pen to Alvarez. If they need Alvarez for occasional starts, give it to Boshers.

Prediction for Burnett = Madson in 2013.

as recently as last week i thought all of the "whatever we get out of Burnett this year is a bonus" were overreacting and being silly.  I'm starting to think they were right.

Lmao, it really was remarkable. 0 for 4 with 4 K's. The Golden Sombrero for Dipoto

 

[bloodbrother]

I wonder how much that worn Angels uni of Madson is selling for? That's gotta be as rare as a unicorn

[Guest]

Is he out of the wheelchair yet? This dude needs Benny Hinn to slap the injury out of him.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse that was the 2013.  A couple of them are hanging around seeing what they can scrap out of 2014.  

[Second Base]

If the bullpen isn't getting the job done, I wonder how long it'll be until we promote the three-headed monster that is Bedrosian, R.J. Alvarez and Mike Morin. 

[Sherlock31]

Sean Burnett? Who is that? Is he an outfielder?

I love Dipoto, but this made me laugh. I'm sure he'd be the first to tell you that THAT crop of signings just did not pan out.

Dipoto spoke very highly of all three of those guys at our fanfest.

I think I saw Chum pay $40 for it on Pawn Stars.

The old man will kill him.

[NJHalo]

That picture of the four schmohawks may be the greatest picture ever taken of Angels futility.

 

There are no words than can do it justice. Just the clueless look on all their faces.

 

Even Scioscia looks like he is saying, "Ehhhhhhhhh, I got nothing"

I love this picture.

[bloodbrother]

Whenever I see that pic, it perfectly sums up the 2013 season

Dipoto has slowly been winning me back over with his latest string of moves. Pitching depth still could use more juice to it, but he's worked at fixing it and has added 2 young arms to the team as well as another in Alvarez. They finally will have a 1st rd pick in the June draft...and that ESPN article a few weeks ago about the changes they have made in their minor leagues has given me hope.

LoL. Glad to see Burnett is finally knocking some sense into you

"He's done, Jim."
