Seems a bit early to do that. Oh well, great game for a journeyman 5th starter. Still, bringing in Oliver hurts the ability to use him as a bridge starter.
There’s like 40 total seats there that have unobstructed views. I was sitting front row on the third base side of the plate last night for a college game and still couldn’t see the whole field.
It’s a fun park, but not the best place to catch a baseball game.
I like Aybar a lot and I think he has the potential to be an even better version of Rafael Furcal, but Wood is a very good defensive player and seems to have figured out how to hit MLB pitching.
I saw some comments in the Boston Globe from Red Sox fans as a result of this Abreu-Beckett situation. I had enough of that conversation after reading 15 or so comments.
Shane's a big boy
hk47 - April 14, 2009
Second XD
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Or first...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
you were right before.
teopeht - April 14, 2009
Loux falling apart?
chairmanofthebar - April 14, 2009
why pitch grif like its 1995?
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
was that walk intentional?
that looked like he was pitching to pujols with a man on third
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
come on shane get one over on him
GIDP lets do it!
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
5 balls in a row, cmon Loux
teopeht - April 14, 2009
6...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Loux has been commendable...
but how much further can he go?
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
He's done
blochead - April 14, 2009
Yeah, I'm happy with his outing so far.
WiHaloFan - April 14, 2009
No more
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
not very far apparently
The Limey - April 14, 2009
im thinking he is getting close to the limit
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
What happens if you click up?
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
no idea
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
strike
kingfish - April 14, 2009
Hey, loux!
Ya know that there is a strike zone…That’s usually a pretty good target :)
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
The guy gave up 2 runs thus far
chill tablet.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
That was during his 6 balls in a row streak..
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Oh come on, Oliver is not a LOOGY
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
barring this inning ends with no more runs
id say loux was great.
2 ER not bad for our 7th/8th starter
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
assuming it ends*
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Have we determined the correct pronunciation for Mr. Loux?
Looooo or Looooks?
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
I'm guessing Looooo.
teopeht - April 14, 2009
I heard it was
Loooosh.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
Lukes
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Afeeed
Lukes
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
I take this back. Looo makes it sound frenchy.
And I aint kosher with that.
teopeht - April 14, 2009
I was having this convo earlier with my GF

Lukes
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Loux I. Walker
Big Easy Halofan - April 14, 2009
5.1 IP, 2 ER
Not half bad for Loux. He’s responsible for Griffey but Cousin Oliver is coming in.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
agreed I'd take that from him every 5th day and be happy
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
Same
Asking him to keep this up might be asking too much, but he’d be one of the best back-of-the-rotation starters in the league if he did.
gilbert - April 14, 2009
hes better than CC and Wang
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
I wouldn't go that far.
WiHaloFan - April 14, 2009
maybe ill make the tongue in my cheek a little more obvious next time
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
I was with you
WiHaloFan - April 14, 2009
Wang got through 2 innings?
teopeht - April 14, 2009
wrong martin lawrence coming in
watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when they come for you. bad boys bad boys.
teopeht - April 14, 2009
What is a Branyan Tree?
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
Oliver could start Saturday
Epic Dean - April 14, 2009
Oliver starting?!?!?!?!
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
he's been a starter most of his career
but it’d be a bit to ask to have him stretch out for a start right now
hk47 - April 14, 2009
Yeah...
But…Every once in a while it seems like he doesn’t have his stuff..
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Olly has pitched 3 or 4 innings for us in the past
That’s all he would be asked to do I imagine.
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
True...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
I remember Oliver in the '06 NLCS with the Mets
Hell of a game.
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Nice. Pitch...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
STFD BUNYAN
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
"Was that a setup pitch?"
Aren’t you supposed to know that, Phys?
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Sit DOWN!
teopeht - April 14, 2009
Nice K Oliver
Epic Dean - April 14, 2009
Harold Reynolds claims he played on the same team with Darren Oliver
Back during Oliver’s “first tour with the Angels.” Um.
mattwelch - April 14, 2009
LoL
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
???...1st tour nobody knew about
In related news, Harold Reynolds also played with Babe Ruth
hk47 - April 14, 2009
wtf?
Harold is smoking somethin’
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
When did Harold Reynolds play for the Angels?
I forget the year
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
'94
Final year. He stank.
mattwelch - April 14, 2009
Thank you for the info
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/oliveda02.shtml
quite a journeyman is Oliver…
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
nice job ollie
blochead - April 14, 2009
Good job for Oliver.
Loux can only get the W or the ND.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
he cant get a win
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
i dont think he can get the win can he?
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
No W...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
7 pitches, 2 outs.
I love Ollie.
teopeht - April 14, 2009
atta boy D-nasty
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
great outing
by Loux!
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
*applauds Loux *
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
lets go NAPster!
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
See, now we need to score runs or Scioscia's gonna bring in Jepsen and/or another crappy reliever
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Why did they take Loux out?
Alireza - April 14, 2009
Too many pitches, mostly
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
80 pitches is a problem? For a starter?
Alireza - April 14, 2009
Early in the season, with no starting pitchers left, yeah
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but the matchup probably drove the change.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
branyan hits righties hard
lefties not so much
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
They wanted Oliver to face Branyan since he is a power hitting lefty.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
For a lefty-lefty matchup...
Also…His pitch count was getting up there…
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Great job by Loux
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
I love that the catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher at 60
I can’t throw 60, that’s for damn sure.
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Loooooooooooooooooo(ux)
If this were a performance review and Loux was my employee he would get “Consistenly exceeds expectations”
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
Last time Silva got to the 7th inning?
July 8, 2008. According to Ms’ announcers.
mattwelch - April 14, 2009
Seems a bit early to do that. Oh well, great game for a journeyman 5th starter. Still, bringing in Oliver hurts the ability to use him as a bridge starter.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
Meh, just turns into his bullpen session for the day
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Maybe a Pedro deal is going down?
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
Yeah Rex…Because the only place you can see your breath is Alaska……..
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
how horrible start to the inning
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
*Wow
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
Odds on Wood coming up to replace Aybar, anyone?
Alireza - April 14, 2009
I'd say low...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Long, save your money...
The Limey - April 14, 2009
woods needs another year or two in AAA
(sarcasm)
teopeht - April 14, 2009
Aybar's hitting the ball hard
Just unlucky.
mattwelch - April 14, 2009
so when does aybar go to AAA
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Oh, now that he's up to 143? he's heating up.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
its only 15 AB's
mastermind565 - April 14, 2009
Guy's got a double today
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Never because of the Soth's man-love for his defense.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
ain't nobody man-lovin' his offense!
hk47 - April 14, 2009
When the Angels send Him there ;)
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Is 4 runs too much to ask for?
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Please keep Oliver in.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
How hard is it to get banned from Over the Monster
…because I just called Fenway a “cramped, dilapidated, latrine-smelling, sardine can”
I had a weak moment over there
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
That’s weak to go over there and post something like that. What are you doing that for?
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
It was stupid
some moron was irritating me (and MidwayCityLivestock)
…on top of that we were arguing over attendance and fans
I’m going to apologize
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
it may be small
and i hate the sux
but when you are around fenway, you can just feel baseball. its really cool.
kingfish - April 14, 2009
it is really cool. Now that I’ve been there, though, I’m ready for them to knock it down and build a new stadium without all the wacky dimensions! :)
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
Fenway's overrated
There’s like 40 total seats there that have unobstructed views. I was sitting front row on the third base side of the plate last night for a college game and still couldn’t see the whole field.
It’s a fun park, but not the best place to catch a baseball game.
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Truth hurts
at least its not rat infested
Moondoggy - April 14, 2009
good one!
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
lets go oliver! sit em down!
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
I like Aybar a lot and I think he has the potential to be an even better version of Rafael Furcal, but Wood is a very good defensive player and seems to have figured out how to hit MLB pitching.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
defensive, since when
mastermind565 - April 14, 2009
He is a solid defender, agreed.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
5.05 RF/9 in 2006 says something about his play at the position. Defense basically exists in a vacuum, unlike hitting.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
which position?
I think he can play 3B or SS just fine without a fancy rating.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
I don't know about that last part.....
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Aybar has the potential to be better than Furcal?
I think he can be a serviceable MLB player but let’s not get carried away.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
i think aybars bat plays in the NL
not so much here
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Hope that's the last we see of CY Silva today
Can’t believe I am actually saying that
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
it will be funnier when he comes out for the 8th and gets shelled
UCIHalo - April 14, 2009
Silva will win the Carlos Silva award.
They will rename the Cy Young award after him.
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
Ok...
I need Figzter and HK to come up big for me!!!!
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
PKO please...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Aybar’s bat will play anywhere if he develops a modicum of plate discipline.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
LETS GO OLIVER!
wallispdub1 - April 14, 2009
BTW, is Kendrick now officially Howard and not Howie?
Alireza - April 14, 2009
His wife and the TV commercials call him Howard...
his fans call him Howie.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
It's always been Howard.
Something about a baseball card and him being a nice guy.
teopeht - April 14, 2009
No...
Sometimes the announcers call him Howie…Sometimes Howard…
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Oliver gives up a single to Joe Jima.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
What? I thought Seattle was too good
to have to resort to small ball
UCIHalo - April 14, 2009
What's this??? A bunt? What on earth is that???
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
New manager is longtime Angels organization dude
mattwelch - April 14, 2009

Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009

Funke5ive - April 14, 2009

Figgi4life - April 14, 2009

Did someone say aybar had not that great defense?
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
nope
hk47 - April 14, 2009
he just can't hit a lick, that's all

Downing Rules - April 14, 2009

Blueprint for success
1. Figgy walks
2. Figgy steals 2nd
3. Howie at worst ground out to right side
4. Abreu sac fly at worst
swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009

swiss mcgee - April 14, 2009
Troy Percival said it best....
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
We are 5th best in the league with rotation R/G
Link.
Loux makes that number lower.

the MLB main office fixed it. End of story. What’s there to argue?
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
The quality of our fan base
MidwayCityLivestock - April 14, 2009

I saw some comments in the Boston Globe from Red Sox fans as a result of this Abreu-Beckett situation. I had enough of that conversation after reading 15 or so comments.

For all the shit I give Figgy, he's a solid leadoff man thus far
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
Yeah, since like 2004.
Downing Rules - April 14, 2009
Weird, right?
Carl Johnson - April 14, 2009
so havent seen it yet, but did they bring nick's away jersey or home jersey on the road?
linkbruin - April 14, 2009
they did bring his stuff
angelsfan777 - April 14, 2009
i mean is the away jersey or home one hanging up in the dugout?
linkbruin - April 14, 2009

im sad to say scoscia might have kendry a little overrated
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Absolutely not. Plus, he is a switch hitter, which helps the L-R balance.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
morales is not a better hitter than napoli
switch hitter or not
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Having 3 right-hand hitters in a row is not such a good thing.

neither is an out
have you not seen the guy’s ABs tonite? this walk was the first good one he had all night
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009

TheOptimist - April 14, 2009

Figgi4life - April 14, 2009

Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Great "clutch" pitching by the Mariners
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
Looking at Gameday, Napoli should have been all over that one.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
1 More inning of Shields at this point I think
Alireza - April 14, 2009
Not so much...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
holy crap! if i could come home from work to excitement like this every night
i’d never need a wife
c’mon halos bullpen!
AHaloInSF - April 14, 2009
its really not that exciting
linkbruin - April 14, 2009
For me
it has been frustration watching the Halos strand RISP
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
Shields - L
BOTG – Everyone but Figgins, Torii and Abreu
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
if they cant get this run home, they have worse problems than we do
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009

linkbruin - April 14, 2009

mattwelch - April 14, 2009

ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
Oh goodness. That guy ALWAYS does that.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
Did Seattle just win the world series?
clover_black - April 14, 2009

Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
That was SOO Predictable
That is why Scottie is NOT a closer
kdoc - April 14, 2009
G-g-g-g-g-g-game over. :(
TheOptimist - April 14, 2009
I NEVER WANT TO SEE BETANCOURT UP IN A WALK OFF POSITION AGAIN.
Alireza - April 14, 2009
Still, I blame Kendry
mattwelch - April 14, 2009
and vlad
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
kendry and the entire O is all sorts of Fail so far this year.........
soooooo inconsistant.
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
id rather have izturis hitting behind hunter than morales
just too many rallies killed
ihearhowie2.0 - April 14, 2009
WHY CAN'T SHIELDS EVER THROW IT TO FIRST BASE??
ladybug - April 14, 2009
Shields: Epitome of Fail
Hell.
ViolaHalo - April 14, 2009

linkbruin - April 14, 2009
Great showing by the Halo offense today
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
Seattle just won the 2008 AL West title
linkbruin - April 14, 2009
Clutch = The opposite of Shields
clover_black - April 14, 2009
Ugly...plain ugly loss.
sothball - April 14, 2009
I am angry at the offense more than Shields
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
+1
2 runs isnt gonna cut it.
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
Especially against CY Silva
Our troubles with this washed up pitcher are old
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
goddamn mlb tv is behind in the broadcast
thats almost more frustrating than the loss itself (which still hasn’t happened, can you say “tape delay”?)
AHaloInSF - April 14, 2009
well
that sucked!
Funke5ive - April 14, 2009
FML
Chzburger Jones - April 14, 2009
ouch
SHIELDS you bum
AHaloInSF - April 14, 2009
Seattle is now 6-2
yuck
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
a walk off botched sac bunt
This is f***tastic..
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Well... Oliver was pretty impressive, at least.
clover_black - April 14, 2009
loux was semi decent too
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
And how horrible that Shields gets to pick up the #34 jersey....
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
why?
is it scots fault the O leaves 100000 ppl on base?
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
ditto
Moondoggy - April 14, 2009
I wouldve given it to Oliver...
Figgi4life - April 14, 2009
Here's hoping to a Weaver shutout
stolenbases - April 14, 2009
the only way he can win
norcaliangelsfan - April 14, 2009
Evil Shields rears his ugly, stuttering head again!
PieceOfAase - April 14, 2009
Whoever picked the Abreu-Hunter-Figgi got 3 points...
Anyone who picked HK misses…
