   Strange Stat

   Mentioned on Fox during the game today: This was only the second time in the last ten years that an Angel player had three infield singles in a game. Here's the strange part. The only other time was last year in a game against Oakland (May 15), when Albert Pujols, of all people, did the same thing. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ANA/ANA201205150.shtml

   LA Times: Mike Trout's first career grand slam 'just another home run'?

   April 21, 2013 by AngelsWin.com

   • 499 views

   The Angels outfielder appears almost nonchalant about his big hit Saturday. Mike Trout heard someone had fetched the ball he hit for his first career grand slam. Saturday's game had been over for half an hour, but Trout had neither the ball in his possession or any urgency to find it. View the full article

   LA Times: What has ailed the Angels? Call it a staff infection

   Before a weekend mini-revival, the Angels were off to a 4-10 start, and pitching was the main culprit—particularly the rotation, where struggles spread like contagion. Remember those pitching-rich but offensively impaired Angels teams from last decade that were presumably "one big bat" away from being World Series-caliber? View the full article

    Angels Offense - A weird anomaly

    April 20, 2013 by Angelsjunky

    • 7 replies
    • 722 views

    While glancing over the team stats at Baseball Reference I noticed a strange anomaly. Through 15 games the team is 9th in runs scored and tied for 7th in runs scored per game in the AL - just a bit below average in both. On the other hand, the team is 2nd in BA, 4th in both OPS and SLG, and 3rd in OPS+. Hopefully this will equalize in a positive way. The team should start scoring a lot more runs once they gel as an offense.

    Mike Trout caps big first inning with his first grand slam in the 10-0 victory, the Angels' second in a row over Detroit. If this keeps up — and the Angels certainly hope it will — they might have to explain to their fans why they yanked their most effective pitcher out of their starting rotation.

    By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - APRIL 20, 2002 GAME 17 - ANGELS AT A's OAKLAND -- A couple of Angels could not agree on who was at fault for their 8-7 loss to the Oakland A's Saturday afternoon before 20,253 atthe Oakland Coliseum. There was first baseman Scott Spiezio, who made a throwing error in the eighth inning that led to two unearned runs. And there was pitcherAl Levine, who gave up those runs, blowing a 7-6 lead after the Angels had rallied from a 6-0 deficit. Spiezio and Levine each blamed himself, and neither was willing to listen to the other side. ''I (expletive) sucked,'' said Levine, who g…

    Living in Michigan with a big family and no luxury to pay the price to see the Angels regularly, it was great to watch the game last night. With the Tigers in town, I get to see the games on Fox Sports Detroit. Hanson kept me biting my nails most of the night. Here's what I saw from not seeing them much before. 1. Lucho is awesome--great fielding, strong arm, and a ton of confidence at the plate. 2. Bourjous looked less frightened at the plate. Trout looks like he's starting to swing the bat better, and Trumbo looks like a hitter again--taking some pitches and not trying to crush everything. 3. Hamilton had a few nice wacks and some stupid swings. 4. Pujols has that…

    Luis Jimenez did not make the Angels' 25-man roster out of Spring Training, but never lost faith in his abilities and simply waited for his time to come. Just a few games into the 2013 season, it came, and he's making the most of the opportunity. View the full article

    I just realized something. I've been an Angels fan for over three decades and will always be an Angels fan, through thick and thin, but it just struck me that I don't like this team and haven't really liked it for a few years now. It isn't the win-loss record, it is the composition of players, the attitude, the fire and soul. This team just doesn't have and hasn't had it for a few years. Sure, there are players I really like; Lucho has been a godsend, and it is hard to dislike Aybar, or Weaver and Trout. And I can't say that I "hate" any single player. But what I'm talking about is the team as a whole. 2002 was eminently lovable because it was comprised of long-time h…

    Pitching and defense, problem areas during Angels' 4-10 start, sparkle in 8-1 victory, and offense comes alive late, sparked by Peter Bourjos' three-run triple. It was a high-wire act for Angels starter Tommy Hanson and two relievers Friday night, but the defense provided a nice safety net, and the offense provided a rare cushion in an 8-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Angel Stadium.
