Gameday Rant Thread - Angels vs Mets - April 12, 2014

[Tyler]

Weave's averaging a cool 86.2 mph on his fastball. It's only April. Yikes.

[Angels]

Scioscia happened. Salas being garbage is predictable. Sosh is the one who went to him in that high leverage situation for some insane reason

Gotta be deliberate sabotage. I am convinced of it. There is no way anyone can be that stupid.

[Sherlock31]

Salas is someone you bring in when the game is out of hand, when the game is on the line bring in your best RP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Goddamn Sosa...........

[jshep]

Is De La Rosa still hurt?  Why the F isn't he pitching....if anything.....to get some work?

 

Nope, he's back and presumably healthy(since you know, they just activated him).

 

As for why he isn't pitching? Hell if anyone besides Scioscia knows

Yeah he shouldn't have been brought in, but the dude just needed to get 1 freaking out and he couldn't. I mean, how hard is it for a major league pitcher to get 1 out without allowing runs to score?

i think so too, i dont know how you can use the same bad reliever in high leverage situations and expect a good result even though he fails time and time again.

[bloodbrother]

Sosh using April to "figure out roles" for players. Maybe after this blown game he'll see that Salas should be doing mop-up duty

 

can he settle on a lineup configuration as well? Would be nice to get some continuity there but players don't know where they are batting on any given night because Mike loves playing musical chairs with the lineup card

[Hollyw00d]

Blowpen gonna blow

just an fyi, he was at around 85mph last april.

On this team? You realize how many two-out runs we've given up?

[tdawg87]

Really need to win this one. With Colon going tomorrow I don't like the team's chances.

 

If they lose their first two home series of the year to the likes of Seattle and the Mets, then this team is pretty much screwed.

[Guest]

Kohn's got this. Don't doubt the foundation of this bullpen

[QuinlansMinion]

I would have rather left Weaver in then bring in Salas.  

[Tyler]

In those two games before he went down?

[bloodbrother]

Granderson bails Kohn out

[stormngt]

I would have rather left Weaver in then bring in Salas.  

maybe we should have brought in the left hander????? oh my bad!

[Jason]

I would have rather left Weaver in then bring in Salas.

Yep except Weaver was out of gas and would have had the same outcome

[QuinlansMinion]

Lets hope we dont get anyone in scoring position this inning.  We need to rely on the solo homers or the 2 run shots with runners on 1st.

CyColon pitching tomorrow? Damn he's gonna threw a shut up!

Pretty sad that I expect us to get shut out by colons fat ass tomorrow.

[Fontana Halo]

If management knows anything about baseball, I don't know how much they can take. This is beyond ridiculous.

[Docwaukee]

In those two games before he went down?

yep

[Fontana Halo]

Cowgill's the only reason this game is this close. And he takes him out? WTF?

[jshep]

Ahahaha, DDLR warming up now.

[Blarg]

Cowgil is 2-3 so they bring in Shuck to pinch hit and the guy somehow makes Sciocia look like genious
