Nice blog post by Victor Rojas

Interesting article of this past season. The article further down he page with blurt was great! I was vocal in my support for blurt to be voted into HOF. 283 wins m62 shut outs. Next project for me to get elected to BBWAA HOF would have to a winner of 265 games pitched in World Series for the Yankees and dodgers. He even has a surgery named afterhim. Tommy John has the most wins of anyone not in the HOF

Pitcher Wins?

C'mon, you are better than that.

interesting observations from a guy 'who's there' and sees it pitch by pitch.

 

Victor Rojas seems like a genuine good guy on the broadcasts and that was confirmed by those at his year's spring training Angels.com fanfest  who got to meet him and hear his pre-season observations.......he seems open and honest.........he's the Angels broadcaster but is no 'homer' with respect to his call of the game.

 

It's been a difficult couple of years for the Halos........Rojas breaks out some of it in his blog -- the thing that really plagued us this year and last (not going to say 'injuries' - that's just an excuse) is that 1-0/ 2-0 count when relievers come in (usually with guys on base)......that's a killer.........it means the hitter gets the advantage and gets his pitch to hit more than 50% of the time when the pitcher falls behind like that.........so the pen is a problem and the Halos need to spend some money (more money than they would like) to get some quality middle inning pen guys / pre-set up guys and a set up guy........it's the only way to make up for a mediocre rotation at spots 3 through 5. You've got to shorten the games and then have quality pen help when you do so.

 

I like the first to third stat...........that's a positive.

and, YES - we need to go at least 12-6 against Houston if not better to be in the AL West race.

 

I've been over and over this, but Oakland was something like 15-3 vs. Houston and Texas was 16-2 or something ridiculous while we were 7-11 or something......

 

that's a 8/9 game deficit to key division rivals right there.

 

as for Rojas' comment about August 23 and 'something switched/ clicked' whatever.

 

An argument can also be made that August 23rd (if not a least a week to 10 days sooner) is when the Angels truly began to play meaningless games, all pressure off and early Spring Training for 2014 had begun..........
