Rotation

[Angels 1961]

Ohtani not till mid May, Canning big ?, Teheran still has not pitched this spring who is in starting rotation to start season? Sandoval, Barria, Suerez, Peters behind Bundy and Heaney. Will Eppler make a trade?

[rafibomb]

I'm all in on Sandoval this year. I think he steps up as a mid-rotation starter this year. A bounceback year from Barria isn't hard to buy into as well and the fact that Suarez simply isn't as bad as he was last year.

Assuming there's no injury with Teheran, he can always be slotted into the five-man later on. I'd say the five man rotation right now would be Heaney, Bundy, Teheran, Sandoval, and one of Andriese, Barria, or Suarez.

Teheran is pitching tomorrow so let's hope everything goes well

I’ll take Heaney, Bundy, Teheran, Barria, Sandoval and Suarez - with Andriese in the mix - and still consider us contenders with this offense. 

It’s early but I’m extremely excited about the kids and think they’re going to surprise a lot of people this year. We just need Heaney, Teheran, and Bundy to make 25+ starts a piece and Ohtani back on the mound.

Sandoval and Barria are both 23. Suarez is 22. They're sooo young. Yet Andrew Heaney is still 28. Teheran is 29 and it feels like Bundy has been in the league for a decade now but he is still somehow only 27.

canning is not a question mark. i don't see any way he's pitching this season or the majority of next season.

the rotation is looking bad, and i think it's likely we grab some bodies in trade.

Forgot about Andriese he could be big surprise was starter for Rays in past.

Making the playoffs isn’t important to Eppler so nope.

Through 3/5...

• Bundy: 7.1 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1 H, 1 BB, 11 K
• Heaney: 5 IP, 3.60 ERA, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
• Teheran: 2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K
• Andriese: 5 IP, 1.80 ERA, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
• Suarez: 5 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1 H, 2 BB, 5 K
• Barria: 9 IP, 0.00 ERA, 6 H, 2 BB, 5 K
• Peters: 4.1 IP, 2.08 ERA, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
• Sandoval: 2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0 BB, 2 K
• Canning: 2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1 BB, 0 K

That’s 41.2 IP, 4 ER (0.86 ERA), 8 BB, 39 K, and only 24 hits allowed. 

Spring stats of course, but the consistency from start to start and across the staff has to be promising at this point, and perhaps an encouraging sign that health, Callaway, or something other systems are working. 

I also like that, at least every game I’ve seen thus spring, the Angels offense as worked 25-30 pitches in every first inning. Everyone has looked really comfortable at the plate.

It's only March and I'm already tired of this expression...

No offense.

Remember... I'm just cranky.
