Players made sure to console Frieri after today's tough one. "I’m fighting," he said. "I don’t know ... It seems like nothing goes my way."

I'm almost not even gonna blame Frieri anymore, this is allllllll Mike.

[nando714]

Nothing like a closer pitching with zero confidence

What's good for this team is that there's a game tomorrow. It can go either way. Interesting to see how they respond against a AL WEST foe

[Jason]

So this means he'll be in there closing the game tomorrow so Scioscia can build his confidence

[Palomar]

It is scary enough to see Frieri start the 9th inning in a save situation. With the bases loaded??  I'm sure everyone in that ballpark was thinking the exact same thing.

"Just lucky"

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@Alden_Gonzalez: Asked if he was surprised Cam Bedrosian started the 10th instead of him, Frieri paused & said: "Next. I don't wanna say anything." #Angels

I can't believe this jerkoff still thinks he deserves to be "closing" games.

[Butcher'd]

He has a very poor mentality for a relief pitcher.

 

"Nothing ever goes my way"...lol, then figure your shit out. No one feels sorry for you

[tdawg87]

I'd rather he react this way than the same old "I'm still confident" BS. It shows actual emotion.

true. it's not like frieri is a bad dude, he's a standup guy and a good reliever. he's just being used improperly.

[Angel Oracle]

Good reliever? A guy with an ERA fast approaching 6.00 and 8 HRs allowed in 30 innings?

Cue Jim Healy: "The flag is up!"

[UndertheHalo]

gotta say, Frieri has shown next to nothing for some time now.  He cant be in any kind of high leverage situation.  Dude just does not have it right now and he may never be right for that role again.

Have to agree with this sentiment...you make your own luck.  Execute pitches, hit your spots amd good things happen.  I can see if guys were committing errors around him but he gave up a Grannie for F sake.

Ready for this one?  It was officially Frieri's 3rd blown save.  Cotts and Gregerson are the leaders with 5 each.  Joe Smith and Nathan have 4.  I know there are plenty of other ways to measure his ineffectiveness, but it's still interesting to me that those four pitchers have more than him.  He's tied with Peralta, Lindstrom, O'Day, Hunter, and Thornton as well.  Kind of a sucky year if you are a late inning reliever.

i cant believe its only been 3.  Kind of deceptive because he's been really terrible.

I have to admit ... that pitch was a meatball right down the heart of the plate. Looks like the Angels need to trade for either a closer or a set up man quickly. Looks like Bedrosian was brought up pre-mature .... maybe his Dad needs to not attend his games until he develops some confidence at the big league level.

He's given up leads in non save situations too, though...right?

Again, you can come into a bases loaded game with a 5-4 lead and 0 outs in the 6th inning.

 

If you allow ONE of those runs to score..it's a blown save.

 

You come into a 5-2 lead in the 8th...allow 5 base runners and 2 score in the inning and guess what you get..a hold.

 

Baseball has a lot of weird stats/measures and those are just a couple more.

 

Frieri is just like Octavio Dotel, Billy Koch. etc..

 

If you throw the same pitch over and over what do you really expect?

He didn't get a blown save in Atlanta because it wasn't a save situation.

[DoubleOffTheWall]

I miss the crooked hat

[Make Angels Great Again]

Saves and save percentage is a pretty pointless stat without a very large sample size.

 

There are a LOT of bad relievers out there that could get a high save percentage in a relatively short time period. 

[The God of Runs]

You think we can trade for Rodney or Fuentes

[RePLAY]

I really don't Remember those 2 being this bad.

[Hollyw00d]

Right. And smith has 4, so that 7 blown saves, not including the other appearances that have sucked.

Gregerson has lost his job, by the way. And Nathan should too, if he hasn't already

Correct
