   Haren vs Kershaw

   Haren pitched well. He got in trouble in the third inning with a hit batter and a wild pitch, but otherwise was pretty good. He couldn't overcome Clayton Kershaw however. Final score, 2-0 Dodgers at the Ravine. Over 51,000 paid attendance on a Tuesday evening.

   Move up Vargas?

   Why would we not put Vargas in Blanton's 3 spot? Is the reason because we'd have two lefties going consecutively? I say do it.

    were having some fun last night at the Angels' expense. (I am only going w what I was reading from game thread comments last night). Good on them. I was one of the few who liked Phys. I only disliked him in the crappy years, because he had to be a Company Man apologist ("Tim Belcher isn't having the best season, but he's a GREAT influence for the young guys"). But when the Angels were rolling, I liked Phys. I understand the criticisms, but I enjoyed his pbp. The hiring of Hud, and replacing with Goob, is one of those complete dunderheaded moves that Arte makes which makes no sense. Nobody likes a three and a half hour little league coaching lesson every ni…

    I have heard a lot of people calling him and out and I really just don't get it. I would love to hear what the people here would have done. He didn't have a lot to work with, but I thought he did great with what he did have and the players just aren't performing. Here is how I see it: Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols: Everyone loved these deals. We all understood that they might not be incredible for the full length of the contracts, but we were excited for a few years of great hitters. They haven't performed. Did anyone here know that they would hit like this to start off their Angel careers? I doubt it. Plus we all know Moreno had some control over this anyways. …

    By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - MAY 14, 2002 GAME 37 - ANGELS AT TIGERS DETROIT -- Told the Seattle Mariners had lost Tuesday night, Angels manager Mike Scioscia responded: ''Did they? I didn't see.'' That's the mindset Scioscia is preaching to his club, 9-2 winners over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday before 12,745 at Comerica Park. Coupled with the Mariners' loss to the Blue Jays, the Angels are 4 1/2 games out in the A.L. West, the closest they've been since April 12. The Angels have won six in a row and 15 of their past 17, matching the best 17-game stretch in club history (June 1-17 1998). But Scioscia says his players aren't patting themselves o…

    The Angels' lineup looks as potent as hoped. Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton, Mike Trout and Howie Kendrick hit solo homers. There are issues in the starting rotation, in the bullpen, on the bench. For the Angels, those are minor issues. View the full article

    Because if we can't laugh and make light of the Angels performance on the field, we end up dying of high blood pressure, kick our dogs, throw our cats across the room, shun our spouses, go to bed and work cranky each and every day. The hell with all that. I like my dog! Life is too short to get pissed and frustrated after each debacle (you reading this AO?). This is your thread to laugh at the Angels, post funny MEME's and post your own personal Blogs on how bad the Angels have performed after every loss (or losing streak).

    The standings are pretty close to what we would expect for other teams. Nothing totally crazy. Maybe Toronto should be a bit better. Maybe not. Same with the Dodgers. Twins and Rockies doing better than expected. Otherwise, pretty much along the lines of where they should be. Point? Magic transformation from a .370 winning percentage to a playoff team? Currently, the halos have a 0.5% chance of making the playoffs. There have been six teams in the history of baseball with a 0.5% chance or lower that have made it. Only two of which came in the single wild card era. SO YOU'RE SAYIN' THERE'S A CHANCE!!!!!

    Angels ace Jered Weaver felt good after a 60-pitch, high-intensity bullpen session on Tuesday afternoon. So good, in fact, that if it were up to him, his next step -- an 80-pitch session which will be broken up in 20-pitch installments scheduled for Friday -- will be his last before returning to the Angels' rotation.

    FanGraphs: Fielding-Independent Game Recap

    May 14, 2013 by ettin

    • 7 replies
    • 568 views

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fielding-independent-game-recap/ Notably in Blanton's start the other night neither side gave up any home runs or walks, resulting in the Angels pitching staff having a 0.12 FIP vs. the Royals 0.79 FIP. I'm not here to debate FIP or start an argument about its value or lack of value, but, as I pointed out in a pre-season article, the Blanton signing was a statistical play on Jerry Dipoto's part where Jerry thought that bringing Blanton into pitcher-friendly Anaheim would bring his career 4.3 ERA (at the time of the signing) closer to 4.00 or even below it and provide our staff with a pitcher who could eat innings (of which Joe has co…

    I think Sosh has been here long enough. But Dipoto is just as much to blame. Only Weaver and Downs are left from Reagins/Stoneman pitching staff. In the field Ianetta, Pujols, Hamilton are his. It really can't be argued that this isn't his team with his stamp on it.
