No, not Frank Stallone...

Not sure if that even includes last night.  I checked the stats for 2013 and there were three pitchers tied for the lead with 19 (De La Rosa was tied for fourth with 18).  So, Salas is already 25% of the way to eclipsing last year's leaders.

The starting pitchers need to give him fewer opportunities.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

No, it falls on the BP to do their job and gets outs. Or, MS shouldn't put Salas in that situation.

Salas had a knack for doing that in St Louis too

What the hey did JeDi even see in Salas? Ever since 2012, he wasn't very good.

[TroutAdell]

Salas needs to go along with Butcher and it could time for Scioscia too. This team lacks fiery type players. They play the game with little outward enthusiasm. That is on Scioscia.

Well I mean when you can acquire an about to be non-tendered reliever with a straight as an arrow low 90s fastball and offspeed pitches he can't throw for strikes, that's a move you have to make.

Salas had one out to get last night. ONE OUT. Is it too much to ask a fresh reliever to get one out?

If those inherited runners had been credited to Salas his ERA would be 12.70

The first we need a more motivating manager post of the new season.

So what you're saying is there's always room for Salas to get worse than we thought.

Isn't preventing runners on base from scoring the role of a relief pitcher?  If its up to the starter to give "fewer opportunities" than than cut a few relievers and expect the starter to go 9.

Aybar with another walk!!!!

[Hoops McCann]

Salas will not (and should not) be on the roster in June/July.  He will have been either released or DFA'd by that time and honestly, it's a telling fact about the state of the Angels pen when not only did Salas make the team, but also given the number of opportunities.  He's just not very good.

Weaver's reaction last night was priceless lol
