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

Salas in .1 ip ruined the 6.2 ip weaver gave.

Go **** yourself salas

[jshep]

DDLR or Joe Smith there, really. They've been running Salas sorry ass out there nearly every damn game, but we haven't seen Smith as often. Huge moment in the game and he goes to that gascan. Predictable result

 

Yeah, Smith is certainly a solid option there too. His arm isn't gonna fall off if he's asked to get 1 more out than usual.

[Angel Oracle]

That will end up being JeDi's WORST move ever.

Freese and Salas both = FINISHED!

[Mark68]

How does this bullpen come into games and allow runners to score and once they do, proceed to get the last out after the damage has been done?

Because the barn door still has to be closed...whether the horses are still there or not...

[Richard]

LOL

[Tyler]

LOL

[tdawg87]

Is it any wonder why the Cards were going to non-tender Salas? He is terrible.

[bloodbrother]

Raul made sure to kill any attempt at a rally quickly. This team isnt' made for the comeback

[Docwaukee]

mother ****er **** cocksucker son of a bitch

[Fontana Halo]

This team is cursed. Someone in management or on the roster is killing puppies or messing with kids. I can't think of any other reason why they'd have so much bad luck.

[Marsaka]

please no more starts vs lefties for ibanez.

[bloodbrother]

Cool, swings 3-0 and hits weak grounder to 3B

[stormngt]

Then he should have pitched better and not leave two guys on base.

I guess your right.  We should always expect the pitchers to completely shut down their opponents.....especially with this bullpen.

[Docwaukee]

are you kidding me?  Iannetta gets a green on 3-0 and he hits a dribbler? 

 

oh man this team is just so ****ing annoying.  I might need to stop watching them

[jshep]

Salas rocking a 4.76 ERA and 1.94 WHIP

 

That's good, right?

[Angel Oracle]

What the {^%~# does Scioscia like Salas sooo much?

[Jason]

He gave up 1 run through 6......that is a good outing.  To be honest, the bullpen needed to get that out.....this isn't on weaver.

He did put those other 2 on base. That's on him. 4 BBs, that's on him too. Yes Salas is not very good

[bloodbrother]

And that doesn't even take into account the inherited runners he's allowed to score

 

but hey, lets keep throwing this dude out there almost every game. The MVP of the pen needs to get as many appearances as possible

[stormngt]

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

[Angels]

Why are people blaming Salas? He sucks and everyone knows it... besides Scioscia.

Scioscia's bullpen management is disgusting. Or maybe this is just deliberate sabotage on his part to get Dipoto fired. Using his acquisition during high-leverage moments to blow games.

This game was looking pretty good and then bam, Salas happened.

 

Though I'm getting a little sick of Weaver basically breaking down in the 6th and 7th innings. Would be nice if the "ace" of this pitching staff could go 7 innings once in a while.

At some point the bullpen needs to keep inherited runners from scoring. What exactly is the point of a bullpen otherwise?

[Marsaka]

did the angels bother scouting salas before trading for him?

 

does this team even have a scouting department?

[Guest]

I think Scioscia can stomach tossing salass

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