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  

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

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  

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  

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.

by bigsteve on Apr 14, 2008 7:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nice!

and most of the season...

He hurt his shoulder during that trip on the mound... just a few days after he scored a HR off his head.

That was a weird year.

Didnt he throw an inning in a game not too long ago, im pretty sure I remember him playing all nine positions for one inning each, not sure why but im pretty sure he did

Ah, the old Izturis triple

Oh my God Jason Jennings sucks! Cue the Yakity freaking Sax. Might as well get a laugh out of this. This is just stupid.

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

OK

I was guilty of this, but indulging him isn't going to help anything.

the bad part about patient ABs

it just extends the misery

just start hacking boys so we can all go finish our taxes

by simplesimon on Apr 14, 2008 8:46 PM CDT reply actions  

Very Smart...

Start hacking so the Angels can conserve their bullpen and win more games this week against us and other teams...

who is this Greg Smith guy for the A's who is shutting out the CWS?

by simplesimon on Apr 14, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions  

Dan Haren Deal

Product of the Dan Haren deal. Came from the D'Backs, seen as a #3 type guy.

Is it just me

Or does the entire team look like they're playing too nonchalantly tonight?

They look flat out demoralized.

weekend series

was pretty demoralizing for me - can't imagine it was not for the team

i can't imagine that the

last 2 innings haven't been demoralizing

by SarasotaRanger on Apr 14, 2008 8:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

the thing is

Jennings is kind of like Padilla was last year

I just don't think the team can stand around all night waiting for a strike or a ball to to be put in play

plus - they're probably depressed they can't hit better against Ervin Santana

Nice inning by Littleton.

Why has he not been in the pen all along again?

looking at box score

they are really giving jennings 7 ER's? at least one of those should be unearned

When Guardado comes off the DL,

Littleton should stay and German should be DFA. And I'm not basing it on the last four outs.
