Gameday thread: 6/10 Angels @ Twins

[Stradling]

7th inning, 10th inning and twice in the 9th inning when he came in to pitch in the 8th to get 4 out saves.  

[stormngt]

Paredes has given up an earned run in 5 of seven games he has pitched this year.

Paredes giveth (earned runs) and taketh away (any chance of a W).

What the hell is everyone bitching about?  The Twins have the bases loaded with 2 outs and are up by 4. Talk about that suckage instead.

Yep, when people ask why we still have Bedrosian I remind them that Akeel and Parades are our most ready minor league arms and they are worse than Bedrosian.

Fangraphs: Mariners #3 bullpen, Angels #20

Mariners winning half their games by 1 run...Eppler do something!

There isn't. He should have been moved in the offseason to clear half his salary but Eppler wanted to give him another chance.

nobody wanted him

And everything is breaking (UCLs, the bullpen, the bottom of the order) for the Angels.

Warm up in the pen in the top of the 8th, bat in the bottom of the 8th, close in the top of the 9th.

On the road, warm up in the bottom of the 8th, bat in the top of the 9th, close in the bottom of the 9th.

If it works in MLB The Show 18, right?

It is amazing after all these years Rodney is still pitching.  Shows how difficult it is to get a good relief pen 

[Stradling]

It also shows how difficult it is to get a straight hat.

[daygloman]

Rodney ALWAYS looked ridiculous with his hat on crooked. It's always gotten under my skin...........

[IheartLA]

this ump...

What do you expect him to do?  He thought going bargain hunting would work for 2018.  IT hasn't so unless we bring up like 4 minor league relief pitchers that can do better, we are pretty much stuck with this bullpen.  Getting a proven closer will help but when our starters can barely go 6 innings, you need more than a shut down closer. So far, Eppler and Scioscia have been very stubborn with changing the bullpen so no need to worry about it right now.  It's almost unfixable without some drastic chances.

That explains a lot about the offensive struggles
