That MIF defense though

Ah, good times. The Weaver hype was through the roof and he delivered right out of the gate for about 6 starts before being sent back down for a few weeks while they wasted another handful of starts with Jeff Weaver in the rotation

That move kept the Angels from making the post season.

Oh, right - I saw that and like the comp (especially without the downside). I thought you were talking about something pre-season.

[bloodbrother]

Angels infield defense + positioning have been spot on.

Here's a stat: performance Angels spot starters this year (Herget, Diaz, Silseth): 14 IP, 5 Hits 1 ER, 6 walks, 10 Ks, 0.64 ERA.

Not sexy walks and Ks, but gotta love that ERA. What a change from recent years.

Packy and Dillon Peters making starts in their new homes...  Peters drank that Pirate Kool Aid, he's done really well/

I really like the Angels’ new defensive  coordinator.  Brought an effective new scheme 

[nate]

This ump sucks

Also Patrick O'neal is the worst Angels PBP ever. He makes Physioc look like a HOFer. He tells such bad jokes that Gubi doesn't even give him a courtesy laugh, just awkward silence.

Maybe I should compile stats for the last five years or so - of Angels starters that weren't in the Opening Day rotation. It could be ugly.

Did they get a new guy?

It's been impactful.  If the last two seasons didn't make people appreciate defense, nothing will

[nate]

Also this is the most fun Angels team since the early Scioscia teams, I hope they keep it going

I respect Gubi’s  approach

This game is flying by.

Good thing Silseth was Filthseth, because the hitting is flat tonight.

Silseth packed 6 innings of baseball into one CJ Wilson inning.

Trout setting up a K here.

[beatlesrule]

I don't have the stats in front of me but it sure seems like Trout is struggling on fastballs.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Rough night for Troutani

[Angelsjunky]

I wonder what's up with Trout on days like this - he just looks off and distracted. Maybe an argument with the wife?

Trout swinging through a lot of fastballs tonight

The whole offense looks like that.

Or maybe baseball is hard
