Series Preview: Los Angeles Angels @ Texas Rangers - This Monkey's Gone to Heaven

PrintThis is a big series. Well, they all are, right? Well this one is especially big. Let me throw out a few scenarios. After Sunday, here are the possibilities the Rangers face:
- They have been swept by the Angels at home and are now leading the AL West by 1 game.
- They have lost a series to the Angels at home three games to one and now lead the AL West by 3 games.
- They have split a series against the Angels at home and still the 5 game AL West lead remains.
- They have won a series against the Angels at home three games to one and the AL West lead is now at 7 games.
- They have swept the Angels at home and the AL West lead is now at a possibly insurmountable 9 games.
The nice part about all of these scenarios is, regardless of the outcome, the Rangers still lead the division. Of course, having the lead they've fought all season to get to 5 games suddenly reduced to 1 game hardly seems like a consolation prize worth accepting. If the Angels happen to win this series 3 games to 1, while the lead in the division is reduced to 3, it was at 3 1/2 just five days ago. That wouldn't exactly be fun but that's pretty much where we were not too long ago. It wouldn't be a reason to panic. So you see, this is a big series, only it happens to be big for the Anaheim Angels. They are the team that needs to show that they aren't going away in this race. It's on them to prove that they can be a factor. But, for them to truly gain on the Rangers in a way that will open some eyes, they need the sweep.
Thursday, July 22 7:05: RHP Jered Weaver vs. LHP Cliff Lee!
Friday, July 23 7:05: LHP Joe Saunders vs. LHP C.J. Wilson
Saturday, July 24 7:05: RHP Ervin Santana vs. RHP Scott Feldman
Sunday, July 25 7:05: RHP Sean O'Sullivan vs. RHP Tommy Hunter
The thing is, though, a sweep for the Angels is the least likely scenario. In fact, if you check out Robbie Griffin's Series Expectations post on SB Nation Dallas Fort Worth you'll see that the most likely scenario is that the Rangers win the series three to one. The theories of least likely and most likely don't play the baseball games, however. While this is a big series for the Angels, it's also a big series for the Rangers to push their weight around a little and make sure the Angels realize why they're 5 games back at the moment. Simply put, the Rangers are the better team and they need to show the Angels that.
Match-up wise, Cliff Lee against Jered Weaver might be as close to a push as you'd expect with anyone going up against Cliff Lee. There are not many pitchers in the AL that approach Cliff Lee this season but Jered Weaver might be one of them. He's been fantastic. He's pitched twice against the Rangers this season. On May 18 he had perhaps his worst start of the season in Arlington against the Rangers. And then on July 1st he had one of his best at Anaheim Stadium. Hopefully start number three goes as well as number one did at the Ballpark. Cliff Lee has faced the Angels once this season. On May 28, in Anaheim, he struck 10 and gave up 2 runs as the Mariners won 3-2.
C.J. Wilson has faced the Angels twice this season. He also had his worst start of the season on May 18. On July 1st, facing Jered Weaver again, he had a fairly average 5.2 inning, 4 walk, 2 run game in which the Rangers lost 2-1. Joe Saunders has not yet pitched against the Rangers this season but, now that he will, it is good news because Joe Saunders is not good at his job.
Ervin Santana has also not pitched against the Rangers this season. I get him mentally confused with Ramon Ortiz who used to torture the Rangers and then be not good against every other team. Ervin Santana however has been pedestrian against the Rangers in his career but has been a C.J. Wilson-esque performer this season in terms of value. He's a solid #3. He's going up against Scott Feldman who is a shaky #5 right now. He faced the Angels on June 29 and was terrible. This game favors the Angels the most out of any game in this series.
And finally, it's the battle of the fatties! Tommy Hunter is fun-fat. He's got that charming red face southern look to him. He wears it well. He's what Santa Claus looked like when he was 24. He also takes the ball and wins baseball games. Sean O'Sullivan is gross-fat. All chins and rolls. He has a charmless portly bourgeoisie about him. It's as though his face demands that he's gotten fat and happy off of the back-breaking labor of others just to keep the old money in the family. He takes the ball, puts mayonnaise on it, and eats it. I'm pretty sure I've come to this opinion simply because our fat guy is ours and their fat guy is an LA Angel.

Questions to Ponder:
- Did you know a most depressing thing has happened? Michael Young has now reached the Dan Uggla level of defensive terribleness. (Both are at -8 DRS)
- Where you aware that Ryan Budde (0.3 WAR) has been a more valuable Angel than Hideki Matsui (0.2 WAR)?
- Over/Under: 26 GDT freak-outs during Scott Feldman's start? (A freak-out in this case constitutes a sub-thread of at least five responses)
- If the Rangers were to win (7 game lead) or sweep (9 game lead) would you feel safe proclaiming the AL West to the Rangers?
- What?

"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
I wonder how many more starts Feldman
gets.

but I think we need to stop thinking he can turn in to that pitcher again. Just doesn’t appear it will happen.

I was at Red Lobster, with my mom and brother and we were waiting for a table when I was about 15. I think that was about the last time I was at Red Lobster, too.
Dude...
in 1996… the Rangers were like 10 1/2 up on Seattle with a month to play and came VERY close to not making the playoffs. It was scary.
They...
built their lead up to 9 though on September 11th. Then lost 9 of 10 including a four game sweep at the Kingdome to drop the lead to 1 game.
It was intense.

That's where I am, too.
I wasn’t even that mad when the Angels won the Series, at the time because I was glad the Mariners weren’t winning still…. Oh how times change.
When was the last time the Angels
were actually intimated by who we were bringing to the pitchers mound?
My guess is never.
I’m at work and am still considering painting my face.
Saturday might suck pretty bad.
I have no confidence whatsoever in Scott Feldman.
Depends on which Ervin Santana shows up.

Im thinking 3 of 4
Weaver-Lee…It is nice to have a big time legit ace to face the Angels’ ace. I think we win this one in a low scoring affair.
Saunders-CJ…I love this match up for the Rangers. CJ just needs to fill it up and he will be fine because his stuff is so good. Im thinking an 8-3 win.
Santana-Feldman…I dont like this one at all. I really want Feldman out of the rotation. I realize he was a bit lucky last year and has been a little unlucky this year but his stuff is also not as good as last year. I think the Rangers lose this one 7-4.
O’Sullivan-Hunter…Hunter is quickly becoming my second favorite Rangers pitcher behind Oliver (personal choice ha). Im thinking this will be a 5-1 Rangers win with 4 of the runs coming against the Angels’ pen.

I could easily see a 1-3 series given just how close some of these matchups are
I also wouldn’t be surprised by 4-0. I feel like given how bad the Angels are, it shouldn’t be that easy to expect 1-3 at home but I guess the issue is that you have to trust that Texas offense is really just much much better than the Angels and that that will win out.

If Cuban does get the team when does he get approved? Because Texas needs to be active in Free Agency this year.

Right
The lenders said they would give bridge financing, and the Judge gave them permission to do whatever he said, so I would imagine the financing could take place in relatively short order after the owners say ok

"I’ve been a Rangers fan all my life and I can tell you there’s been plenty of fucking crying in baseball…" - WhipSmart, 6.3.08
Why do you think the Rangers need to be active in FA?
About the only piece I can see them needing is Lee, a replacement level catcher and maybe a 1B. And I expect they’ll lose out on Lee and pursue at least one of the other 2 through trade.
They’ll have to spend more than last year from Hamilton’s arb, but their payroll is so low that I just don’t see the ‘need’ to spend money. They’ve got 3 guys I think are good shots to give you No.2 level production plus a few more who should be capable of LAIE. Bullpen looks good, too.

Probably a pre-paid
You need some documentation to get a bill-by-month or the company will just shut it off.

glad they got rid of O’Sullivan

So the Angels trade
A pitcher who is probably their best internal 5th starter option at this point, and a C+ lefty pitching prospect (Sickels had Smith as their #20 entering the season), for a .309 OBP’ing third basemen, when they can stick either Fransen or Izturis over there and get better production?
And they seem to be giving up on hype-machine product Brandon Wood?
And Callaspo will be arbitration-eligible for the first time this offseason, meaning he’ll cost them a couple million to re-sign?
Sounds good to me!
by Outworlder47 on Jul 22, 2010 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah, seemed to me from what i have seen of O’Sullivan against the rangers and the start
against the yankees i can’t see giving up him and Smith for Callaspo, but hey, i for one am glad they did.

Honestly, I think that's how the Royals think.
They saw his boxscore from one game in New York and decided to get him. The Angels, meanwhile, sold high knowing one game isn’t worth much.
Fucking Angels...

Ken Rosenthal tweets...
Another option for teams in need of an SP. With Holland and Harden on way back, #Rangers may talk about Harden or Feldman. Also .. #MLB Could keep both and put one in bullpen. Neither has pitched well, but Harden always tempting. #Rangers #MLB
Wait so another team may purposely trade for Harden?
That would be glorious.

Well, I’m not going to be able to watch the game live tonight. I am upset about it, but this event I’m going to tonight was planned a couple weeks ago as an anniversary gift from the in laws…and I’m pretty excited. I’m going to record and watch it into the night…hopefully I’ll catch up with y’all in the post game…

But this event is really cool. It’s a multi-course dinner put on by Woodford Reserve (my favorite bourbon) at the Striphouse (local steakhouse) where they pair each course with a drink that finds an interesting way to include Woodford…I can’t explain how excited I am. My wife found it a few weeks ago, but there’s no way we could afford it. Her parents surprised us and I’m out of my mind excited!
