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 to parent up reply reply actions 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

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 reply actions 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 to parent up reply reply actions 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.

I think

it's to the point where if guys repeat it enough they start to believe it. It's bunk.

Hell, that rotation has done decently well so far

Rangers situation hitting and Jason Jennings' putrid performances have really let the team down.

There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

hamilton held it

but young and broussard were out of position

hamilton shouldnt have held it, mental mistake on his part

by knockoutking on Apr 14, 2008 7:53 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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...

not saying it isnt on MY

but hamilton held on to it for too long

by knockoutking on Apr 14, 2008 7:54 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

no doubt

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

MY is counting daisies on that play and it cost a run

Broussard

The cutoff man isn't the SS on that play. Its the 1B who was late getting into position.

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

Santana just walked a guy, is struggling with his control, and Byrd hacks at the first pitch he sees (which wasn't a real good one to hit).

Yep. That pitch was way too low.

The only thing he could have done had he made contact was hit a grounder. Bad decision on Byrd's part.
