Shoemaker's last 5 starts

[tdawg87]

3.12 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and just 3 HR (0 in last 3 starts). This includes the start in Toronto where he gave up 7 ER.

Shoey has turned around his season quite nicely the last few weeks.  

[ELEVEN]

The ball is really coming out of his beard nicely.

but how's his catch and throw?

Fluke yr

[DMVol]

It would be nice if he could be last year's Shoe again but a solid 3.5-3.75 ERA guy, maybe a 3/4 starter, would be fine....

[Dick B Back]

Its not so amazing when he keeps the ball down in the zone. Go Shoe!

[Oz27]

Yeah, remember the thread I started awhile back about how long his leash is? Quite a bit longer, now. I can't say all my concerns about him are gone, but they're certainly easing.

Lock him up 10 years / $225 million.

[Docwaukee]

His GB rate thru his first 6 starts 25.8%

 

Thru his last 6 starts including today.  44.3%

Thanks for the thread, now his next start.. .....3ip 6er..................

Including Skaggs we will have about 9 viable MLB starters.  We need 5 or 6.  We also have about 4 viable MLB hitters. We need at least 9.  DiPoto...wake up.  

[Stradling]

I agree we need to make a move as soon as we can, but we need more than 5 or 6 starters, we need a minimum of 7 if not 8. Remember how good the Dodgers staff looked on paper before the season started? Well they need a starter.

You need more than that if you want to be successful. Depth is extremely important.

Wrong, you need at least nine.  It's a long season.  The hitting is improving too, take a look at the runs scored position in the team stats.

Our current rank after today's game.  (WAR for Offense, RP and SP.  BsR, and Def)

 

Starting Pitching - 18th 

Relief Pitching - 9th

wut... I guess Pujols' and Aybar's recent streaks has helped.

that and offense is down across the mlb.

Love seeing Shoemaker pitch like he has proven he can.

and we play in a pitcher's park.  

[tdawg87]

Aybar, Trout, Pujols, Calhoun, Freese, and Perez are all hitting well. Gia has been solid, and Iannetta has improved (although he has sucked in his last 15 at bats or so) and so has Joyce. They really just need to plug that hole in left and honestly they have a pretty solid offense. Their team BABIP is lowest in the majors so they are only going to continue to improve.

 

Get Ethier or Lind, and then maybe trade for some bench help.

[VariousCrap]

IMO, the Angels need to get someone for LF and someone for DH.  Then, they need to have Perez catch the majority of the games.  Those have been the three biggest offensive holes for this team and doing this would fix them.

 

My dream would be to get Reddick for LF, but that may cost too much.

 

Realistically, I'd like to see Either for LF.  Not sure who they should get for DH.  I think an option could be David Murphy who is having a solid offensive season.

I can't believe we are that high for base running
