**** you kohn. you piece of shit

[mulwin444]

Nevermind...f@ck you, Kohn.  Please spend next year in AAA

[jshep]

I hope Kohn didn't lose the number of his landlord in Salt Lake.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Gotta love getting to one strike away from getting out of it, then throwing that pitch...

[mulwin444]

Kohn has no idea where its going...its an f'n crapshoot.  I would rather have put Blanton in.

[Guest]

You had one job. 2 walks and 2 hits. what a ****up

[AngelsLakersFan]

On the bright side, at least Peter Bourjos isn't going to pull another hammy...

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Another solid start for Richards. 

[Docwaukee]

although I never like when the team loses, it's very important that they don't go into next season assuming kohn can handle high leverage situations. 

[BleedRed]

Can't pitch one lousy scoreless inning? What a piece of crap!

Well it's not like Kohn has ever shown that he has the slightest clue where any of his pitches are going.

I have to say Iannetta is the one who sucks.

Fastball down the middle on an 0-2 count?

Walking Coco was embarrassing as well, he takes so much to get on the same page with the pitcher.

Kohn had no idea where any of his pitches were going throughout the whole inning. I hope he's not an option for next year

I don't expect them to assume that. I also don't expect them to be able to find all that many arms that can.

that's like saying you'd rather have bloody explosive diarrhea as opposed to just explosive diarrhea.

I always forget the difference between command and control

 

which one does Kohn have none of, and which one does he have very little of?

[Docwaukee]

I don't expect them to assume that. I also don't expect them to be able to find all that many arms that can.

it always concerns me when they give guys looks in situations where I don't really want them anywhere near. 

[mulwin444]

Both would have ended in losses but at leas Blanton's would have been quick.

 

It's the difference between having your finger cut off with a laser versus having it pulled off slowly at the knuckle

[Angel Oracle]

Iannetta still has work to do on getting on the same page with his pitchers.

Kohn hasn't been horrible, and it is his first season back from TJ surgery.

Richards has to be in the rotation next season, and with that 2.90 ERA in his 68 innings since returning to the rotation, he has #3 starter potential.

[Angel Oracle]

The question though begs to be asked.

Where the }%{<#~>% is Berg?

kohn isn't a bad guy as the 6th guy out or as AAA depth if someone gets hurt.  I get that they are trying to see what he's made of, but the outcome was obvious from the time he stepped on the mound.  Teams like the A's - ones with good zone management - eat that dudes lunch more often than not. 

 

Ianetta is a poor pitch caller.  He calls more 0-2 fastballs than any catcher I can remember.  He's trying to get a guy with shitty command to throw a ball out off the plate by just enough that the guy will hit a weak grounder, or let it go.  It's like asking me to replicate the Mona Lisa. 

 

Richards is filthy. 

[DropOfAnaheim]

KOHN!!!!!!!!!! KOHN!!!!!!!!

[Angel Oracle]

I agree that Kohn best serves them in 2014 as a 5th or 6th guy in the pen.

I wouldn't be surprised though if he improved on his 2013 results.

Would love to see next season's rotation as: Weaver, Wilson, Tanaka, Richards, and Vargas.

his overall numbers might look better if the have a short leash on him.  ie, if he comes in with a 3-4 run lead and puts a couple of runners on base, then someone else can take his place.  I don't want to see him allowed to grind his way thru an inning unless there is no doubt about the score.  Frankly, it why our pen has been so bad the last few years.  Guys like this in spots where the game isn't a foregone conclusion, and because everyone else is about the same except maybe the top two, he get left in there so as not to burn out the back of the pen. 

[rottiesworld]

And of course stupid Scioscia would put him into the game to lose. They should put Kohn as the peanut boy, but of course when he throws a bag of peanuts he won't know were it is going to go.
