In absolute terms, Ricky is NOT the worst guy out there. He is not far from it. But there are starting pitchers all over the map with 5-plus ERAs. lots of bombs given up and records at least as bad as Ricky's. None of those guys are pitching (currently) for the Angels. Ricky has tied JeDi's guy Miranda for homers. But Lackey, among others, is right there. Bombs are the main scoring strategy this season. 

3rd worst ERA+ in the AL.

In his last 10 starts:

50.1 ip (innings eater?)

6.39 era

.316 baa

.904 ops

We're not making this up - he sucks.

Trout saves us from the humiliation of a no-hitter.

[Waybackman]

Trout breaks up the no no.

[eligrba4ever]

YAY!! TROUT ENDS THE PERFECTO!! (Slight sarcasm.) Did the guy in the booth just say Trout has reached base in 85 of 88 games?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Trout back to .330 BA

[bloodbrother]

More pop ups

Which means absolutely nothing when his replacement gives us 4 innings when Skaggs can't give us 3 innings.  

Yes it means we aren't running the 3rd worst pitcher in the AL out there

Thank you for the nitpicking. I said he wasn't the worst. I also said he wasn't far from it.

[Kevin]

I feel like it's the year 2011 and I've seen Wells bat six times in three innings. 

 

Pop up pop up pop up...

Nitpicking? lol

Those are facts. There is no defending his suckage.

It would be typical of the Angels to add two big pieces for the last month and just immediately shit the bed.

[Lou]

Ok, game is on.

I'm out!

(Please shut then down,Ricky) 

[bloodbrother]

Albert is good again guys

[Bull58]

Albert brings in Mike!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Pujols has RBI 3 games in a row.

[Waybackman]

The machine has been rescued from the scrap heap.

All the while Maybin goes to Houston and somehow outplays Justin Upton

oh and he'll hit like .400 against the Angels too. That's usually how this works

[eligrba4ever]

YAY!!! RBI MACHINE STRIKES AGAIN. 2--1 RANGERS.

"Trout almost touched home before Pujols touched first."

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

It will take a HR or 3 singles to score Albert.

No it means you lose multiple games because of an overworked pen.

Or 3 BBs.

We've lost more than enough games because Nolasco sucks incredible amounts of testes.

[bloodbrother]

He's thrown that curve like 70% of the time today.  You'd think they'd seen it enough by now to time things better

[beatlesrule]

How can it be the fourth inning and they haven't still adjusted to that curveball?

[eligrba4ever]

There's a stat for everything,. Albert has highest "clutch" rating among DH players.
