OK Jesus, he's a rookie getting his first cup of coffee. Would you rather have Johnson or Bedrosian going out there. Or how about that stud Akeel Morris?

None of the options in the pen are that great, but this is one of the few bright spots. This guy is throwing 98 with a decent slider. So he needs to improve on some things obviously. But you don't see the upside?

I didn’t say we have better options I was merely stating that he has been lucky, walking that many people and keeping an ERA in the low 3s is unsustainable. 

 

I was just saying that’s the reason people hate him, relievers walking batters creates rallies.

 

i have nothing against Anderson btw, he has been a life saver for the bullpen, imo

Wait... The Angels are up 8-3 in the bottom of the 9th and you guys are bitching about the relief pitching? 

Correct.

They're losing 8-3 in my heart.

[Waybackman]

The name of this bullpen should be The Walkers.

Another one of those "blisters"

Free baseball at the 66ers game. 

Has our favorite Cuban done anything tonight ?

[failos]

inb4: how can u be complaining about an injury when we're up 8-3?

[bloodbrother]

Uh oh, blister for Anderson. When's the TJS announcement?

[LAA Road Tripper]

Seriously, how is your command so bad that you walk the tying run to the on deck circle? Dude, better to throw the ball down the middle of the plate. If he hits it out, at least he earned it. 

[101halo]

Ohhhh! That's the reason for all the pitcher injuries. I'm glad the trainers finally found out that CVS carries nail clippers and a nail file. 

Glad we've solved that mystery!

Base hit in the 8th to start a rally that was killed by poor umpiring.

He strikes out a lot of guys, so I'm not sure he's really been that lucky. Probably a little. 

He's the one guy in that bullpen that has a chance to be anything more than a mopup guy at some point in his career. Hope he stays healthy (ugh)

Jinx.

Anderson just wanted all you pussies to shit in your pantaloons.  

Mission accomplished. 

[eligrba4ever]

Never easy in the 9th.

Yeah if he works on his control he can be a solid back end reliever paired with middleton when he’s back.

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!!

[Lhalo]

Glad they brought in Cam for that game. Hopefully we don’t have to see him for a while.

Runner on 2nd to start innings in extras. Saw it at a 66ers game in Lake Elsinore.
