Best pitching and Worst offense in AL

[GalericX]

Looks like the worst pitching to me, well i should say, for this game anyway.  Morin has been sucking for a few days, and once again, the CJ effect is in full swing, 2 outs and cant complete an inning.

Sounds like a recipe for a .500 team!

I can't get enough of the media referring to time of games and storylines.

I get it. I'd feel the same way if it was my job, but as a fan I'm tired of hearing about it.

This. Pujols is killing us big time, as is LF and DH. 

 

We got away with getting little to no production from LF and DH last season and scored the most runs in the league, but that's because Pujols was actually doing well after a slow April and despite little production from LF/DH we did get some timely hits to win ball games. 

 

Dipoto needs to work the phones ASAP and get us some help. Problem is, it's too early for teams to scrap their season and rebuild. 

 

I really not worried about Pujols.  The two glaring priorities are DH and left field.  And the last sentence just outlines the problem for now anyway.  Let's just hope we can at least stay around .500 until Dipoto can find some answers.  By the way, I'm now starting to miss Rasmus, get well soon Cory!

Bullpen is looking almost as bad as the offense.  We have two reliable relievers and a bunch of question marks. 

[Docwaukee]

my ultimate pet peeve.  Turning small leads, ties and small deficits into insurmountable deficits with 1-2 frames to go.  Street and Smith have been solid as usual.  

 

the rest of our pen is a dreamsicle

 

it's 50/50 whether they are going to hold down the fort.

I like that you said "get us a bat Jerry", but honestly, one bat is only going to get the Angels to a respectable level of offense. They'll need a couple bats to regain their place among the top.

So if the Angels do pursue a trade who do they go after and what would it cost?

There is no question that Pestano is terrible.

Salas may have been solid recently, but I'm pretty sure that all of us still hold that breath when he comes into the game.

We need a true 3rd option.

Ramos is solid in his role. But could he handle the 3rd spot?

Pestano looks like a fork was stuck on him. Morin needs more seasoning.

Alvarez is fine as a utility guy.

I agree it's going to take a couple of bats most likely. Whether Dipoto has the savvy or the resources is another story.

Pestano was really solid for quite a while. What happened to him??

Not all relievers have a long usage life.

Offense about to heat up but the pitching will now take a steaming hot crap

Meanwhile teams like the Royals are getting great performance on both frontiers by acquiring former angels like Kendrys Morales and Joe Blanton dirt cheap

[19HALO71]

So were good then, right?

 

Because, Pitching wins Championships!!!

 

Go Halos!!!

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

This is very similar to the team's of the 70s.

Tanana and Ryan would dominate and we could hit for shit.

Ryan could have been a 30 game winner a couple of times with some good offense.

[Jay]

If the team continues to pitch as they have in May the Angels will win the division.

 

If the pitching reverts to what we saw in April then see you next season.
