Cam Bedrosian

[tdawg87]

Is he the best worst pitcher ever or the worst best pitcher ever?

My answer is yes.

[DMVol]

He’s a tease.....you think he might be turning a corner, then he’s Cam again...

[ScottT]

Somewhere in between 

[rottiesworld]

When are they going to git rid of Cam Bedrosian this piece of crap. He is worthless and can't count on him, every year is the same crap with him. I don't know why the Angels keep him. I can't believe he gives up 4 runs like a asshole he is. If they do anything let him start the game at least he can't blow the lead if there is one. Please Angels get rid of this loser.

You can't depend on him at all despite going on some runs where he puts up zeros.  Unfortunately, because the BP is what it is, he's leveraged to help get wins and keep leads but his default setting is choke artist.  

[eligrba]

I think he has orchestrated two grand slams this season.....

 

 

 

both for the Astro’s.

 

I think he can do a couple more before the end of the season.

[Angel Oracle]

I wonder if the line drive that hit him a week ago did something to him.

The team must always have a Kevin Jepson.

I am more inline with your opinion on this guy. At the very first look, he looks good. Better than average velocity and a hard curve. But after the first few pitches, its easy to see that he has absolutely no control over either pitch. Also, neither pitch compliments the other. They look completely different and are easy for batters to identify.

The guys is a complete all or nothing, when he blows up he goes nuclear, without those hes among the elite. 
The guy gave up 1 earned run in Jun, 1... in 13 appearances.  Hes already bested that for July, lol  
Hes going to be fine, we need him to be fine, hes better than a lot of other options... hes really not the problem

Dude, cool it with the personal attacks. Losing Skaggs reminded me that these guys are human beings. Criticize his performance, but don't call him things like "worthless" and "asshole."

[tdawg87]

Bedrosian is a handsome sweetheart who should stop blowing leads if he would be so kind.

He actually pitched really well so far this season, until a week ago Sunday.   At that point, his ERA was in the mid 2.00s and his WHIP wasn't much over 1.00.

His slider sucks and his fastball is straight

Check me on this but I think any success he may have is, in part, due to the manager bringing him in in selective situations. You will rarely see him in a clutch situation because you cant.

You are definitely right when you say we need him to be fine and he is better than other options but the latter is only true for mediocre teams. Good teams dont have a guy like this on their team. Houston beats us yesterday, despite the offensive explosion, because they can trot out 4-5 elite relievers and we only have 1-2. They will outlast us in every game due to this fact.

His fastball is heterosexual.

His best spot in any pen is as the #4 or #5 option.   Solid enough preceding the 8th inning, and then a question mark from that point on

I follow your train of thought here but other than the closer there aren't really bullpen "roles". Certainly some guys are better choices than others in certain spots, but ultimately it comes down to other factors; who's fresh, who is the hot hand, who's batting, etc...

Buttrey is a prime example of this. He's been used in practically every inning. It's because he is just good at getting guys out.

Come on now, you guys! Can't jump off the BEDROCK Bandwagon...I was saying this stuff 1-2-3 years ago and everyone kept ripping on me!

It's hard to go through life when you only have 2 pitches. 1 is a straight fastball that you hit the strike zone 50-60% of the time and the 2nd a slider that you throw in the dirt 50% of the time.

You're obviously not familiar with my work

He still looks scared on the bump or looks like he is making diamonds out of his butt.
