Did Scioscia yank CJ Wilson too early?

[JoJo26]

Yes - It was only 3-1. Wilson would have gotten better

No-Wilson is terrible...I love me some Hector Santiago

Maybe- Why didn't he start him in Anaheim? He's a better home pitcher, since he was racked last time in KC

 

I'll hang up and listen off the air...

[tennischmp]

No

[OregonLAA]

Wilson shouldn't have made the postseason roster

[ukyah]

puhlease.

[SoCALkid]

Not sure if serious

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

No way. He should have never started the game on the road. CJ should have pitched game 2, Shoemaker game 3. Whatever though, its all over.

[bloodbrother]

He didn't yank him early enough as far as I'm concerned

 

the 4 pitch walk to Billy Butler of all people should have been the signal that CJ was gonna be crap. Yank him before he puts the team into a big hole

I'm tired of his Nibs act.

He is a candidate for the GMJHGH treatment in the off-season. Only $31 million remaining.

Too bad Roger Dorn Hackilton has three times that much still coming.

Arte, Arte, Arte (ultimate smh)

[CaliAngel]

Wilson should not have started this game.

 

That being said, pick a starter and stick with him.

 

If you're gonna b***h out on a guy after the first inning, why even bother putting him out there in the first place.

I wonder if someone would be stupid enough to take him on the equivalent of a two-year, $16 mil deal (as in we eat the other $15mil). There have been much stupider contracts signed across baseball in recent years, to the point where I'd say there's some possibility of it.

Nope....Shoemaker gave us a chance to win 2....chances of CJ doing that, considering how well KC was playing, were slim....even if it was a home game...

Exactly. Four-pitch walk and then a 3-run double. A dagger to the heart. But he's not going to pull him before he allows a run.

 

Rasmus should have started the game. But that's hindsight. I was one of those who was hoping Wilson would step it up and give us a quality start. What a disappointment. Going forward, I'm not sure he has much of a role with this team anymore.

[Troll Daddy]

Shoemaker pitching game 2 sets him up to pitch game 5 ... Oh well

[JoJo26]

I would have taken WADE LeBLANC over CJ zoom zoom

[Angel Oracle]

Exactly on LeBlanc, we knew what we weren't going to get from Nibs. 

LeBlanc was pitching really well in September. 

[Schildog]

if he was on that short of a leash he shouldn't have started.

 

but since he did start, he should have been able to pitch the rest of the first and gone from there.

He could have given up six runs if allowed to stay in there. He should have been pulled after the 4-pitch walk to Butler to load the bases.

[vlad27]

if we had a healthy Richards and or Skaggs we wouldn't have - not a lot of options

[19HALO71]

That is the one question I had once the match ups were announced as well. Why not start CJ at home and Shoe in KC?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, etc.

Because then you're stuck with CJ if there's a Game 5.

 

One decent start at home is a lot to ask for, but two? Forget it!

[eligrba]

The problem is that Scioscia put CJ in too early.

[Lhalo]

The good thing about starting CJ was that Rasmus was nice and rested to come into the game with a 2-8 deficit.

[WallyWorld]

CJ Wilson is either 

 

a) hurt

b )going through some serious personal shit off the field

or c) his career is over.
