Blanton to be skipped in the rotation

Joe Blanton will be skipped in the Angels' rotation this weekend against the Yankees.

That means C.J. Wilson, Tommy Hanson, and Jered Weaver will start this weekend. Blanton was smoked for seven runs (six earned) in five innings last time out and owns a disappointing 5.87 ERA through 13 starts this year.

Thank God! I believe he was scheduled to go Friday when I was going to be there.

Why? Let the little slimeball pitch. Maybe he will get beat so bad he will retire.

[Adam]

Can we skip CJ too?

[Tank]

Yeah, hard to believe it'll really make any kind of difference at this point.

We should be making him earn his pay, make him pitch 9 innings no matter what.

[gotbeer]

In other words.  Angels want to sell some tickets this weekend.  

[The God of Runs]

We should go with a starter by committee system

I'd hate to be the one who has to tell the Yankees' hitters this news.

Blanton's gonna sleep like a baby either way..

Every 3rd day, then that should ensure getting the 2nd overall pick in the 2014 draft, and the 2nd pick in every round thereafter.

I'd say 1st pick, except Miami is historically bad.

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Jerome made another case today why he should replace Joe as a starter.  Yes, Jerome allowed 4 runs in 6 innings, but he looked good and won the game.  The pitch Chris Davis hit out was below the knees.

Sweet. I don't have to see that piece of crap on Saturday. Instead, I get to watch the rest of the pile.

[Ray McKigney]

Weaver, Vargas and Jerome are the only starters I have confidence in. 

[HaloMagic]

If only this decision would have been made last December.

Another great rotation decision by our manager!

This is bullchit ... practice makes perfect

[jshep]

Can they skip him in the rotation for the rest of this season and 2014 as well?

I am sure Arte will end up eating the money again.

This post deserves some appreciation.
