[Vegas Halo Fan]

Were you too busy, Dawg?

[Docwaukee]

they had a good feeling about weaver on the road tonight.  

 

This is a concession game btw.  

[laagamer]

Classy. 

 

Drop the ban hammer what?

worth it..

 

the decision to start weaver tonight basically cost the angels the playoffs before the first pitch was ever thrown.

we collect fly ball pitchers.  

 

Santiago and Tropeano - our other starters for this series - have similar to slightly higher FB rates.

Understood. God speed my son.

Poozy I get the frustration but until we score a single run then it doesn't matter who started. Also show me a team that has playoff aspirations that move pitchers around in the rotation to pitch them only when they are at home.

When you know your SP is going to give up 4+ runs before the game even starts on top of having to face the Astros ace.

 

They never stood a chance..

I don't agree with this line of thinking. The offense isn't exactly going to feel motivated against one of the best pitchers in the game when their own pitcher shits the bed and puts them in a huge hole early on.

 

You gotta keep it close and give your team a shot.

I think that was on purpose.

How is this relevant if we don't score any runs?

Teams that don't give up five runs in as many innings have a higher chance of winning than those which do.

Remember all that starting pitcher depth we talked about having, and Dipoto sacrificing offense for extra starters - where are they now?

Very true.

2015 ERA (before tonight):

2.87 in 10 home starts

6.21 in 13 home starts

 

Your assertion and complaint are borne out by statistics.

You always try to place the blame on Dipoto.

 

Dipoto did fine with the resources he had available. He was handicapped from the very beginning.

he's not actually criticizing dipoto in that post. he's saying the pitching was an illusion. i said the same thing all year, but the present is the only thing that matters.

To add on to this thought, it's not so much about motivation as it is about change in approach. If you're playing a game from behind, you're more likely to expand the zone and attempt to hit 5 run home runs instead of going for simple base hits, sac flies etc. that might result in a much higher probability of scoring one or two runs.

Someone needs to step up and follow the team on the road with an inflatable rock pile. I nominate LT, anyone know what he's up to?

What does the offense have to do with Weaver's poor road performance?
