Chavez needs to get bumped.

[Chuck]

He can't seem to make it past the 5th inning without blowing up.

[Stradling]

Seriously?  Chuck this game was on the offense and Alvarez (Scioscia).  

[tdawg87]

Well he may not have had to bring in Alvarez if Chavez could pitch more than 5 innings without filling his pants with hot shit.

[Taylor]

Yep. Chavez was the only one who did his job today.

That is literally our entire rotation.  

[Amazing Larry]

Maeda pwnd the Halos today. That is all. 

[Homebrewer]

Scioscia dedicated this game to Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda.

Crappy lineup to start, leave in Chavez for a couple extra batters, bring in gas can Alvarez for the cherry on top.

Bleedin that Dodger Blue for one more night. 

[Troll Daddy]

What a f**kup post 

[Angel Oracle]

Once Shoe can pitch:

Dump Noway Alvarez!!!!

Chavez goes into his spot.

[VariousCrap]

As I said in another thread, Chavez should only be allowed to go through a line-up twice.  That is basically 5 innings a game.  Then let the bullpen do their job.

I agree that when Shoe and Skaggs returns, Chavez has to go to the bullpen.

I think he was the least at fault tonight.

Alvarez and the non existent 0 runs scored offense were bigger problems.

Shoe and skaggs returning...

Chavez is noticeably worse the 3rd time through the order. It is who he is. Angels should try to piggyback Chavez with a guy like Bridwell to get the team through 6-7 innings on the nights he starts.

I like this idea. Or maybe Skaggs if obliques ever stop hurting.

^^This^^

I don't need to see how he starts out in the 6th to know it's not going to end well.  Just because it's Chavez but if you need a reason you could tell by all the nibbling in the 5th.

You can like the idea, but do we really know what Bridwell is yet?

He'll get another boo-boo, then be gone for two more months.
