#Angels LHP Tyler Skaggs scratched from Tuesday start vs. OAK because of hamstring strain. Hector Santiago will start.

Skaggs will go on DL. #Angels

 

 

DAMMIT.

[Ochocinco!]

Here we go.....

[nate]

Crap

[jshep]

Yikes.

[tdawg87]

So it begins.

[rafibomb]

Well I had us penciled with a loss that day anyways. Cahill sounding more and more tempting.

O/U 5 walks by Santiago in that game?

[tdawg87]

Also lol @ Santiago facing Oakland's patient hitters.

I don't like Skaggs to DL, but I actually like Santiago getting a start. 1.) Dogs in that one already and 2.) I want to see how he responds after his demotion. 

 

He seems like a pretty intense competitor. I'll call it. 7 IP, 2 ER or Less and a W

Didn't his best start of the season come against Oakland? Lol. But yeah, we can chalk that one up as an L. No way in hell he repeats that kind of performance

[tdawg87]

He had 1 BB in his start earlier in the year against Oakland. He was in line for the win until Frieri did that thing we all hate.

 

Hmmm.

[Stradling]

It would be nice that just once our offense takes care of a pitcher. Maybe see us score 7 or 8 runs in the first few innings that way even if Santiago doesn't deserve a win, he still gets one.

The skaggs news skus

[AngelsFaninGA]

3.1 IP, 1 H, 7 ER, 9 BB, 6 K

No doubt. I'd take guys like him in his position every time.

Skaggs was like.......Frieri guaranteed what?

[nando714]

Trevor Cahill was DFA'd by AZ.

[Troll Daddy]

Santiago or Skaggs ... you have the same chances of winning the game.

[moccasin]

I have a feeling that Santiago will be a better option than Skaggs. Oakland always destroys ground ball pitchers, and Santiago is a fly ball pitcher.

[xboom28x]

After he gives up 5ER on 4BB and 8H and he throws a tantrum on the mound or in the dugout, people will say at least he cares.

according to this logic Ernesto Frieri should look like Dennis Eckersly against them

[arch stanton]

Pass or fail I like the idea of challenging Santiago to step up. The postion players have all responded to their callups. And it looks like Skaggs could use a little mid-season break anyway.

[NrM]

Well at least it's not something very serious(i hope)

[bloodbrother]

Well, here's Santiago's chance to show something
