Sorry - I didn’t mean the excuse of stats.  I meant overall having an excuse for the bad P results year after year - injuries, bad defense, bad luck, etc.  It’s always something.  One common thing is the Angels have a mediocre or worse than league average team.  While having the best player in baseball and a top 15-30% payroll.  How/why?!?!?

I get what you're saying and I'd agree with you if only I didn't believe the data.   But like I said previously -- the data will normalize.  We still dont know which set of numbers are the false read because it's early.   But there is currently reason to believe the SP will actually be a lot better than it's been.  

FTR, I've been on Canning all year for being the baddie in the group... Even as people were wanting to string up Quintana.   He needs to go fix his shit somewhere where he won't be hurting the team.

Canning just isn't very good. At this point, I'm not sure he's better than Sandoval or Barria, and I kind of like Sandoval's upside more.

#4/#5 starter, that’s the max.

Stassi absence has probably been the most impactful..  He impacts both sides of the game pretty much every pitch he's in the game for.   Conversely, Suzuki has been bad.   I'd feel better with Benboom and his non bat.

I'm not. I'm also not playing your childish game.

Bruin that roots for Alabama.

 

I also root for LMU and Missouri because of family.

Just answer the question, Claire.

[Blarg]

Suzuki has been mostly horrible on both sides of the game.

How about MIT since my dad was an aerospace engineer and wanted me to follow his footsteps. I was at the NASA museum today to look at some of his work on Apollo and the shuttle. Or I could be lying.

Is the pitching staff having a competition on who can suck the most today?

Kurt Suzuki is garbage.

Just DFA him and have Benboom back up Stassi for now.

I have a long and very distinguished educational background too. But I’m not bringing it up all the time and using it to downgrade some others.  Sounds like maybe someone is overcompensating for something that isn’t up to snuff?!?!

I took a picture of something similar once.  Only it was a Chihuahua and a Rottweiler.

Nobody is downgrading anyone (unless they went to sc).
