Gameday Thread: 6/10 - Angels vs. Indians

[Glen]

I can't wait to see how our bats "respond."

[fan_since79]

So basically our rotation is Weaver and Shoemaker, a wild card in Lincecum, and whoever we can find in the minors for spot starts.

You can't keep running Santiago out there like this.

Now watch this Cleveland nobody pitch like he's Cy or something. Oh, wait. He IS a Cy. Nevermind.

I tune ina little late and this is what I get?

Hector Santiago absolutely sucks. Dipoto got fleeced in the Trumbo trade

Give me a break. Trumbo did much of nothing with the team who acquired him(Arizona) and he didn't do much with Seattle, either. HE's finally having a big season a few years after the trade playing in a great hitters park/division. Santiago has had success with the Angels and he wasn't even the main piece in the deal anyway. Skaggs was always the big catch in that deal considering his upside. His production has obviously been delayed due to TJS.

If you can't keep running Santiago out there, how can you run out Jered Weaver and his 5.56 ERA(and even worse peripherals than Santiago). Both guys shouldn't be in a rotation

They are two of the worst starters in baseball by any metric you can use. Better options than both of them exist all over baseball and can be acquired for very little, as they are both now worse than the hypothetical replacement player.

[fan_since79]

Shoemaker, Lincecum, and run for your life!

I wonder if those guys can go on one day's rest. You pitch them three innings, then circulate through the blowpen, and hope you can win a few 8-7 games.

Hey Sosh, get him out of there.

[jsnpritchett]

Man, he's just throwing batting practice out there.

[eligrba4ever]

Them Cleveland fellas really brought their hittin' shoes tonight.

[bloodbrother]

Welp

[eligrba4ever]

Vic could do a Kasey Kasem riff: "The hits just keep on coming."

[Ohtaniland]

Welcome home Halo's

[JAHV76]

Time for a Napoli homer

[Oz27]

36-66 from here gets us to 100 losses.

It probably won't happen unless Trout gets injured but it really isn't as far fetched as I would like it to be.

What the hell is wrong with Hector??

He's just not very good?

[eligrba4ever]

Umpire has been squeezing Hector sometimes. But those other pitches have been crushed. Good night, Hector. Pleasant dreams. 1;1 innings and 6 earned runs.

[eligrba4ever]

Also, maybe Hector shouldn't have brushed off whatever that was with his hamstring in the first.

[Ohtaniland]

No worries, Albert will hit a meaningless home run tonight and run the bases as proud as a peacock.

Honestly it's in his head, because when he is good, he is actually really good. I swear the Angels keep getting this reincarnation of Latino pitchers with good stuff but inconsistent outings (See: Ramon Ortiz, Ervin Santana)

Not before being thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch a single into a double, though.

[eligrba4ever]

I could have watched the live broadcast of Real Time. Instead I'll wait until the 5th when the show runs again, unless the Angels make a comeback.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Time to move Hector to the pen. I think he can be good there.
