Something to think about down the stretch...

[Ohtaniland]

We are 1-9 against the top ranked AL starting pitchers with a 3.00 era or less. The one win was against Dallas Keuchel who avenged his loss the second time we faced him. We need to do better than that against quality pitching. Sonny Gray is next in line. 

 

Tanaka 0-1

Buehrle 0-1

Darvish 0-1

Hernandez 0-2

Keuchel 1-1

Chavez 0-1

Shields 0-1

Scherzer 0-1

You are trying too hard.

[Inside Pitch]

Tanaka  7-1, 2.29

Buehlre  9-1, 2.33

Darvish  4-2, 2.35

Hernandez  7-1, 2.57

Keuchel  6-2, 2.55

Chavez  4-2, 2.61

Shields  6-3, 2.95

Scherzer  7-1, 3.00

 

Vs. Angels

 

Tanaka 2.84

Buehlre 3.00

Darvish 4.26

Hernandez 3.00

Keuchel 3.95

Chavez 1.29

Shields 6.00

Scherzer 1.29

 

Clearly our pitching needs to step up as our hitters have been more successful than the league against most of the top pitchers.

Thread Over !

I feel like Hamiltown hates the Angels or is Troll Daddy's actual daddy.

[Oz27]

Yeah, this isn't something I'll be thinking about before, during or after the stretch.

[Inside Pitch]

Only thing this made me think about is how in the world the Angels have managed to play nearly 20% of their games (19.23%) of their games Vs. the top 8 pitchers in the AL.  Or how they have gone 28-14 vs everyone not in the top 10 in ERA.

I'm much more concerned about our 4-10 record against the A's/M's/Rangers.

FWIW (maybe nothing) . . .

• the Halos have gone 19-6 vs teams under .500 and 10-17 vs teams .500 or better
• the M's have gone 9-11 vs team under .500 and 17-15 vs team .500 or better

As I mentioned in the game thread, the M's seem to play up (or down) to their competition . . .

Clearly, they need to do better vs the lessor teams.

Hey you! 

 

You going to the game tonight? I'll be there with the family. Was there with friends the other games. 

 

Good to hear from you.

Cluster luck!

Huh?

 

Tanaka didn't beat us, Angels had 2-1 lead when he left the game.

 

Same as Shields and Chavez

 

Blowpen blew 2 of the three games, we should had been 4-6 against those aces.

No, can't make it tonight.

(even if I could, I've got no desire to see Maurer get shelled ;-) although, I was sure Kuma was going to cruise vs the Stros so, ya just never know)

Have fun!

So the Angels haven't done well against star pitchers that no one else has done well against either.

 

Good thread.

[tdawg87]

I appreciate the effort here, but this is really a non-issue. I'm guessing you will find most teams have fared similarly against these guys.

 

The Angels have a winning record and are only 2.5 games out of first. That's really all that matters at this point. If they are winning the majority of their games, it doesn't really matter how they did it.

Yep!
