Does Sosh ignore this information?  Chavez should be a 5 inning pitcher.  Period.  Let the good pitchers from the bullpen do their job.

That's all well and good until this happens every game.  You can't use four innings of bullpen every single game.  Chavez allowed 3 hits tonight.  We lead the league in the lowest percent of inherited runners scoring.  Tonight Alvarez/Scioscia blew it.

Angel pitchers are going further in the game than they did earlier in the season, so it wouldn't be needed every night.  My main point is that Chavez the third and fourth time through the line-up is simply horrible.  That said, I understand your point.  We just gotta hope Shoe and Skaggs make it back soon so Chavez can go to the bullpen where he'll be better used.

Get ready for the walkathon tomorrow with mr. meyer on the bump. Night all.

How many seven or eight inning games have you seen this year?  10 or so days ago we had a stretch of 3,4,5,5 inning starts in a 4 game span.  So it's not really getting better.

I quit going to those games when I lived down there, especially when the halo's were going bad, and the Doggies were good.

Some messed up shit goes on at those games...unless you're in the Diamond club or a suite, steer clear of the big A the next 2 games..

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

In other news exAngel prospect Newcomb throws his 4th quality start in 4 starts and gets his first win. 1.48 ERA.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

We should trade Espinosa, Valbuena, Marte, and Escobar to get Newcomb back.

 

Nevermind as soon as the deal was final, he would tear UCL and need TJ surgery.

I'm blaming Pujols and Maybin. 

[Stradling]

Of course you do.  

[Troll Daddy]

Blaming Scioscia

Summary of tonight's game

 

[KevinJ14]

I was at the game, the skies were so gray. I lost the ball as well haha

[rottiesworld]

I would like to see a running race between Maldanado, Molina, Pujols.

 I bet I could go to the Snack Bar and then the restroom and comeback to my seat,

and they would still be running to first base.

Season seat holders can't resist but to sell and make a profit against the dogs, sox, yanks

i don't blame them bc most games they're selling them and I'm buying them for under $10 bucks while moving up and seating in the field level.

With no Mike Trout and if there's no bobblehead giveaway the fans could give a hoot about the games.

I watched a segment about that young Japanese baseball star on 60 Minutes and it clearly showed how much passion for baseball the Japanese fans have. 

I think they need to bring back the roids and juiced baseballs because many of these games are true yawners.

Well apparently the Angels hitters haven't got the memo.

Especially Pujols...only 11 HRs?

[Stradling]

We do realize attendance league wide hasn't dropped much, right?  Interest will always waiver in a game played every single day, especially when there are many ways to consume the product.

If you ask Albert he will tell you that he's hit 602.

[Stradling]

If you ask Clod he will say zero

It's too bad Dodger fans don't reciprocate.

The Dodgers get true home games against the Angels. but I almost feel as though the Angels average only about 72 home games a year and nine neutral sight games when the Dodgers. Red Sox and Yanks come to town.;
