Greg Mahle is here to stay

[Lou]

He's no Gott

[Docwaukee]

Holy hyperbole this thread is crazy. He looks good but moving the hype a million or so notches down wouldn't be a bad idea given he's a 23-year-old pitching above AA for the first time.

desperation of need facilitates desperation of optimism.  

[Angel Oracle]

Well Mahle has qualified for lifetime healthcare coverage, and he needs only 41 more days to vest in the pension plan.

What's amazing is that he was drafted only two years ago.

[Blarg]

Mahle looks like a guy that drives a 70's firebird and wears A SILVER MEMBERS ONLY jacket over his ripped REO speedwagon t-shirt.

Yeah, I new that guy in high school.

[Jason]

He looked good yesterday but we often see these pitchers struggle with consistency in their delivery. Hopefully he develops well.

[eaterfan]

I think the reason he is so good is that he got a quality education.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Amen regarding Salas!

Played on the same team with Mahle's dad, also Greg in high school. He was an outstanding LH pitcher himself. Greg Sr. has another, younger son in the Reds org that's doing well. Greg Jr. will do well with the halo's.

 

My kid hit very well off both Greg and Tyler (rival high school in the Golden West League)... And Tyler was one of the Top Pitchers in CIF the year they graduated. Greg did pretty much what he does now different arm slots to throw off balance and change eye level... Tyler threw hard and his tendencies were to tip his breaking ball. 

[Angel Oracle]

He's got some Mad Hungarian in him?

[Troll Daddy]

Too early to buy into the hype but I like what I see so far. His delivery is a little awkward but some of the best are very successful with that type of movement. Still, I wouldn't be to quick to send Salas packing.

[Stradling]

We wouldn't be quick to send Salas packing, he's been here 3 years. At this point we know what he is, a very frustrating pitcher that seems to give up the big hit.

Cant believe how overboard many are going, after ONE FRICKIN' APPEARANCE in an Angel uni.

 

His delivery reminds me of Jim Kaat.

I don't give a crap if he's been here ten years ... FYI most relievers are frustrating. Still too early into the season to make a decision on him IMO.

Good day sir

[Stradling]

Ok TD, enjoy your day of doing what you do, it is usually adorable.

It's cool, this is our balance, because half the board will hate him, Scioscia, Arte and Eppler when he gives up his first run or allows an inherited runner to score.

good call on this one.

The OP said he looked "nasty". Everyone else said they like what they saw. Not sure that constitutes as being "overboard"...but ok.

[yk9001]

God forbid we like one of our players.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Yeah I wouldn't mind substituting Salas for Guerra at this point. Truth is I think guerra might still be a good late inning reliever. Mahle didn't looked fazed at all and Morin looks ready to make a run for the late innings as well. This team is better than most non-Angel fans realize.

Just wait until the offense starts firing on all cylinders.

[Erstad Grit]

I stated he looked nasty and will stick on our roster. No one compared him to Mo Rivera or Krod circa 2002.

Now saying this is going overboard.

[Angel Oracle]

Goldust is joining the Halos?

[totdprods]

Holy shram that's amazing

[Billy_Ball]

Darth Mahle does look a little like Goldust with red paint!

[LAAFANofLA]

another good outing
