Judgement Day for Wilson

[martinpa25]

This has to be the last straw on C.J ....if he doesn't have a solid outing the Angels need to do something. With Skaggs hurt and the ups and downs with Santiago and Shoemaker...it's gonna be a huge problem

[Chimi]

As long as Wilson can pitch, he will pitch on this team.  Doesn't matter how good or bad he does it.

[Angels]

What exactly can do they, anyway? Not like they have anyone to call up or replace him. It's Wilson or bust.

[Stradling]

It's not like Santiago and Shoe have been bad.

Oh I know he will pitch regardless..but I'm sure it won't be as a starter if he doesn't improve

No way are the Angels giving up on him with his salary and history

[tomsred]

Nothing to see here, keep moving along.....

Judgement day?  Even if CJ gives up 8 ERs he will still be in the rotation.

this.  It is really odd how he's just completely fallen off the cliff. Hopefully he gets right, about all we can do.

Thing is, like I said before, who replaces him?

[Chase]

The man Randy Wolf.

[QuinlansMinion]

Heres a crazy idea.  Make Morin the 5th starter and CJ to the pen for long relief. 

[CaliAngel]

Why should CJ do long relief? How will that be any different than him giving up 5 runs in less than 2 innings when he starts?

 

I'm sure CJ is just as frustrated as we are, and has been working to get his stuff back, but the problem is his fastball has no movement and his offspeed stuff is either down the pipe or way off. I don't think he will leave the rotation if he blows it tommorow. But if he starts giving up runs in the first couple innings I would assume as was last outing, Skip has him on a short leash.

[Angel Oracle]

I thought the thing involving his hip that threw his pitches off was fixed. Silly me

[DMVol]

Thing is, like I said before, who replaces him?

Wolf or LeBlanc....that's about it unless Jerry put in the claim on Cole Hamels....

 

Edit: I looked at SLC stats and actually Wolf and LeBlanc have been ok, not great but ok....if CJ keeps it up, they couldn't be much worse....maybe a couple more starts and if he doesn't get it done, nothing to lose if you call Wolf or LeBlanc up.....also getting closer to Sept 1st so we could call both up and sit CJ if he's still struggling...

Morin is on the DL.

[zenmaster]

Wasn't there originally rumors that his downhill slide started because of some family problem? If true maybe this is still what's going on. Sounds like he is a headcase.

 

Back to the DL if he does poorly today?

If CJ gives up 8 ER's, I would consider that a good beginning.

 

Let's hope that CJ does not eunuch-up today.

[Angel Oracle]

Jerry, the waiver wire can be your best friend.

Because Wilson isn't going to be right until the off-season.

cant see the image, but im hoping its that metal skull face from terminator 2

I'm sure CJ is just as frustrated as we are, and has been working to get his stuff back, but the problem is his fastball has no movement and his offspeed stuff is either down the pipe or way off. I don't think he will leave the rotation if he blows it tomorrow. But if he starts giving up runs in the first couple innings I would assume as was last outing, Skip has him on a short leash.

 

I certainly hope so.

[tdawg87]

CJ will pitch a CG shutout.

It's Judgement Day for CJ as far as Angelswin is concerned.

 

In fact, many on here have been judge, jury, and executioner.

 

Meanwhile, see you Tuesday, CJ.

[Sully151]

Didn't Santiago just go toe to toe with Kershaw and didn't Shoemaker only give up two runs to the team with the best record in the NL?

CJ just needs to limit the damage for 5 or 6 innings and then hand it to the pen.

I am more worried about our offense right now.
