Time to End the Cam Bedrosian Experiment

[Angelsjunky]

The kid is not ready - send him to AAA.

[NrM]

No clue why Scioscia put him in a high pressure save situation today after struggling so much in his previous outings.

[jshep]

Honestly, I'm not even opposed to keeping him in the majors for now, particularly since the Angels are sorely lacking in talented alternatives, but Scioscia desperately needs to stop trying to shoehorn him into high leverage situations for the time being.

[Homebrewer]

I wish Scioscia could be sent to AAA, to work on a few things..

[fan_since79]

How many guys in our bullpen do we have that can actually succeed in high leverage situations?

Morin was only used in blow out games for like his first 2 weeks. 

No clue why Bedrosian keeps getting opportunities after failing so often.

 

Keep him on the roster and use him in low leverage situations and then go from there.

14.29 ERA. Nice.

 

Also, Frieri is a dud. Why can't Scioscia realize that? He can't handle pressure situations. At all.

[JAHV76]

Send Cam back to the minors to refine his game. Keeping up in the big leagues could screw up his confidence further.

[Butcher'd]

meh, Bedrosian sucks right now, but the game is on Scioscia. Smith should have started that inning, and Morin should have came in if he got into trouble

This. There's not much better in the minors(Kohn update?). Was just the wrong situation to bring him into. Need to ease him in, especially since he shown he's not a very consistent option(er's in 4 of his 6 appearances).

5 hits, 5 walks, 5 Ks in 7 IP.

 

0 ER, but he's given up 3 unearned in 1 outing where he gave up a HR.

How is the run from a HR unearned?

How is the run from a HR unearned?

 

• Pitching Change: Michael Kohn replaces Ryan Chaffee.
• Max Stassi strikes out swinging.
• L. J. Hoes walks.
• Adron Chambers grounds into a force out, shortstop Tommy Field to second baseman Vance Albitz. L. J. Hoes out at 2nd. Adron Chambers advances to 1st, on a missed catch error by first baseman Grant Green, assist to second baseman Vance Albitz.
• Carlos Perez walks. Adron Chambers to 2nd.
• Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Marc Krauss replaces Joe Sclafani.
• Marc Krauss homers (1) on a fly ball to right field. Adron Chambers scores. Carlos Perez scores.

 

Looks like since the inning would have been over if it weren't for the missed catch error, anything after that was counted as unearned.

[jshep]

By the way, in looking for Kohn's numbers, I found Maronde's and holyyyy shit I still have no idea what happened there.

 

Between AAA and AA, he has an 11.25 ERA in 16 innings. 17 hits, 20 ER, 4 HR, 30 BB, 22 K

 

At this point, we almost have to hope he's nursing some sort of injury, right? Cause otherwise he just went Rick Ankiel on us and forgot how to pitch.

We really don't have many other options. The minors aren't bringing anything promising. RJ Alvarez was awesome in AA before he got injured. He's the only one who would possibly be worthy of the call up.

[nando714]

I just hope the kid isn't ruined psychologically

Learn something every day I guess.

Scoring baseball is one of the quirkiest things there is.

[BaseballMom]

It's almost like Scioscia puts them in to fail just to test their "grit"....I am effing sick of it myself.  Keep Cam to pitch in situations that are suitable.  Get a closer that can close the games.  

 

It's like Scioscia had $$ on the game.

[Fresh Catch Trout]

I think he'll get sent down soon - probably the weekend. And he'll regroup and come back and have a phenomenal career for us as a reliever at the back end of the pen. Its my gut feeling.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I try to dub AO inspired nicknames while AO is gone, but hes back.

AO youre slipping...why havent you coined 'shit-the-bedroisian' yet?

i agree that he'll bounce back. he just needs more seasoning.

[fan_since79]

I love how Scioscia keeps using the nickname "Bedrock" when referring to him.

 

"Bedrock this...Bedrock that..." Hilarious.

 

He's more like wet sand right now.

Dude

[Homebrewer]

You know things are bad when "baseball mom" is here venting like AO.

Maronde is a perfect example of what happens when you screw with a young pitcher. Soon, Bedrosian might also be a perfect example.

Thanks Dipoto!
