individual game predictions
are difficult/futile, but I'm confident this will be a high scoring game. For both teams.
by Randy Richardson on Apr 14, 2008 6:42 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The Angels blog are doing predictions
on three things for todays game:
1. # of angel pitchers
2. # of angel SB's
3. # of angel GIDP
I predict for the Angels to have:
1. 5 angel pitchers
2. 1 SB (and 1 CS)
3. 3 GIDPs
anyone else wanna take a stab at it?
Ya....That's Real Mature.

I'll pass, but
saw Halos Heaven piece about how the Angels are on pace to shatter the all-time GIDP record.

You know what sucks about Jennings
That this team will view him as a veteran guy who needs to be given at least a few months. I wish that they would just realize that they need to cut their losses with him and accept that their gamble didn't work.

Jennings
I would rather see Tejeda pitching right now, at least he throws 95 when he misses the strike zone. Maybe it was his incredible game against the red sox last year on opening day that hooked me but would he really be any worse than Jennings is right now?? I mean I know its early but 10.2 IP and 10 ER's and its not like he is throwing well, at least no one can complain about the bad infield defense when he is walking everybody.
by phina on Apr 14, 2008 7:26 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Well
That's a good point. I guess they're going on the hope that Jennings can return to a form he previously had, but I might be with you.
by brettgardner on Apr 14, 2008 7:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No doubt he is struggling
But there are no other viable options to replace him with right now. Tejeda is a reliever. The Rangers have determined that and are going to stick to it. Hurley isn't ready. Feldman has made 3 starts as a professional so although he could take his spot its not really feasible. Harrison is still in AA although he is probably ready for AAA. McCarthy is on the DL. I thinik if he continues throwing this way I think there is a strong possibility he gets DFAd once McCarthy comes back but for now we are stuck with him.

Hell, that rotation has done decently well so far
Rangers situation hitting and Jason Jennings' putrid performances have really let the team down.

replay.
Vlad scoring was all on MY
he is supposed to get directly on line with home plate, Hambone sat waiting for the cut off guy to get into position as MY stood there and watched as the play went down.
total lazy crap by MY...

he shoulda just unloaded to home, screw MY, but at some point your team leader needs to be playing smart heads up ball.

Why don't we let him try to make a spot start next time Jennings is supposed to pitch, I would rather see what he has then watch Jennings pitch. At least then we could say we are seeing how/if guys who may not be on this next year can handle themselves and it would not be as irritating to watch
