Webber, donnely, shields (the good one), k-rod, and Percy. Wow. Our bullpen now is a fucking joke. I would seriously question the lack of focus and balls
and it indeed does. But Soth also doesn’t put his relievers into their optimal situations. He needs to go to a matchups based bullpen rather than his flowchart which Suboptimal showed us.
Rodney faced 3 lefties in the 8th, including 2 of the first 3. Fuentes should be in those situations. Lefties just don’t hit the guy to well.
yea and it works when you have 3 guys you could argue could make the HOF
it doesn’t work when you have even an average bullpen. Opposing teams know EXACTLY who they are going to be facing, they know they don’t need to use pinch-hitters at ALL because Soth doesn’t do matchups.
when the pitchers do their job, there's no problem
and yes, of course it’s easier when you have a dominant bullpen. Sosh is a believer in guys playing clear roles, and he thinks it gives them a better mindset going in. Obviously it’s easy to criticize when it doesn’t work.
yea but batting splits are a HUGE part of baseball
which Soth completely ignores. Remember how poorly JT Snow hit lefties? You are telling me it’s a good idea to just let him hit lefthanded because someone has a role that you can’t take them out of???? Of course not, you put in the pitcher who you think has the best chance of getting the guy out.
no 29 other major league teams use some form of matchups and roles
also we could have had more relievers with the team. Q was taking up a roster spot for a long time doing NOTHING. We carried 3 catchers for a long time too.
But I understand how you love to Monday morning QB every Sosh decision. It would be cool if you gave him the same energy in your credit of him when it works as you do when it doesn’t work for him. His track record has spoken for itself.
When my ex was in a coma and ICU for a while, I really liked the atmosphere. And I like guts. But I’d have to do school over from the beginning, as I avoided science classes like the plague. But I really do love bodies, and guts. Weird, but…
What’s more confusing is why the Athletics didn’t bring in the lefty for the Lefty-Lefty matchup. Guess they don’t trust Ziegler vs Matsui as much as Bailey vs Willits.
c'mon Nap

Once we get a lead we can hate the blowpen.

WTF are you waiting for Sciosica?
His name is f***ing Michael Kohn. Learn it, he’ll result in more wins.

This
Also Rich Thompson
Gokyle45 - July 9, 2010
Yeah, I don't understand this "easing" BS that Mike is pulling....
It’s not like anyone can hold a lead right now. Get them in there, get the lead and call it a win. Stop spending millions to blow games.
Halowood - July 9, 2010
Isn't Thompson already up
Epic Dean - July 9, 2010
Yeah but they don't wanna use him with a lead yet.

Heh. That's kind of an old-fashioned cuss word: dadgum.

OC Awhole1 - July 9, 2010
You guys can say that the Angels bullpen sucks
and it indeed does. But Soth also doesn’t put his relievers into their optimal situations. He needs to go to a matchups based bullpen rather than his flowchart which Suboptimal showed us.
Rodney faced 3 lefties in the 8th, including 2 of the first 3. Fuentes should be in those situations. Lefties just don’t hit the guy to well.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
Sosh has ALWAYS done the flowchart thing
Nothing’s shocking.
yeswecan - July 9, 2010
He refuses to use Fuentes as a lefty specialist
cuz you don’t pay 9 million for a lefty specialisy
nicolasville - July 9, 2010
oh yea that's right we let our lefty go
to our main rival for nothing. Man the Angels make so much sense.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
Why not use him as a lefty specialist.
Were paying the dude to be a closer, and he isn’t doing the job reliably. Why not give him a job that may help the team?
halofolife - July 9, 2010
yea and it works when you have 3 guys you could argue could make the HOF
it doesn’t work when you have even an average bullpen. Opposing teams know EXACTLY who they are going to be facing, they know they don’t need to use pinch-hitters at ALL because Soth doesn’t do matchups.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
when the pitchers do their job, there's no problem
and yes, of course it’s easier when you have a dominant bullpen. Sosh is a believer in guys playing clear roles, and he thinks it gives them a better mindset going in. Obviously it’s easy to criticize when it doesn’t work.
yeswecan - July 9, 2010
yea but batting splits are a HUGE part of baseball
which Soth completely ignores. Remember how poorly JT Snow hit lefties? You are telling me it’s a good idea to just let him hit lefthanded because someone has a role that you can’t take them out of???? Of course not, you put in the pitcher who you think has the best chance of getting the guy out.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
matchups would be ideal if we had 20 relief pitchers
yeswecan - July 9, 2010
no 29 other major league teams use some form of matchups and roles
also we could have had more relievers with the team. Q was taking up a roster spot for a long time doing NOTHING. We carried 3 catchers for a long time too.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
1 more reliever isn't going to change it
But I understand how you love to Monday morning QB every Sosh decision. It would be cool if you gave him the same energy in your credit of him when it works as you do when it doesn’t work for him. His track record has spoken for itself.
yeswecan - July 9, 2010
REC'd
times eleventy billion.
norcaliangelsfan - July 9, 2010
yea you are obviously right
1 more reliever wouldn’t change anything…. every other team uses matchups to some extent, but it obviously wouldn’t work with the Angels….
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
it's obviously worked for Sosh for quite a while now
yeswecan - July 9, 2010
The flowchart works when you have Shields/K-Rod/Percy
or 2005 Donnely/Shields/K-Rod.
It doesn’t work with F-Rod/Fuentes
red floyd - July 9, 2010
yea and I think you could make an argument that Shields/K-Rod/Percy
could all be at least considered for the HOF. So that’s when Soth’s strategy works?? Good luck with that Tony.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
and before anyone scoffs at Shields
the guy had a 7 year stretch with and ERA + of somewhere around 150
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
Career ERA+
Shields 143
CC Sabathia 121
and yea I know reliever vs starter but still…..
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
I think you could possibly make an argument that
Shields/K-Rod/Percy was the best close-out trio of all time.
Games were literally six innings long for the Halos in that era.
red floyd - July 9, 2010
Wake me up when this over

She works nights, is already head nurse on her shift at a very good hospital.

most RNs can do $100k if they wanted to

MH252525 - July 9, 2010
Jepsen
Jepsen is my closer though.
Gokyle45 - July 9, 2010
I say Kohn, spelled with a backwards "K" and two more before the "ohn"

It'd be more appropriate if you gave him a meatball.
sothball - July 9, 2010
So, Fuentes for the bottom of the 10th.
sothball - July 9, 2010
damn, almost forgot about that.
We need more runs!
halofolife - July 9, 2010
at least 2 more
but 7 to be on the safe side
Raaddad - July 9, 2010
I see your seven, and raise you ten more.
Because, we’ll probably need ’em.
halofolife - July 9, 2010
They have Sweeny and Cust comming up--tow leftys
Halo84653 - July 9, 2010
tow-headed lefties?
Raaddad - July 9, 2010
Howie K'd on the same weak outside pitch in the 10th
that he K’d in the 1st
Rev Halofan - July 9, 2010
Come on Orioles
1 on no out trailing by 2
maze88 - July 9, 2010 via mobile
I'm "watching" on gameday
in the Philippines. It just wrote “in play, run(s) scored”
NOone was on how is that possible w/ Aybar batting?
hittheg - July 9, 2010
HUGE homer to right
Epic Dean - July 9, 2010
He was just
Taking batting practice is all…lol
maze88 - July 9, 2010 via mobile
Loved Aybar's face as he hit the bench:
“What’s the big deal? Pshhh, I could do this all day.”
cath619 - July 9, 2010
So I picked up Erick Aybar on my fantasy team
Because I needed AVG and SB. He found a permanent home on my SS slot along with Howie Kendrick and Bobby Abreu to further my homerism.
Now he hits a go-ahead home run in the top of the 10th inning (I also need HRs in my fantasy team).
Homerism might be turning into fanboyism.
Slyintine - July 9, 2010
WTF bobby?
Gokyle45 - July 9, 2010
Great base running Abroo, idiot!
Halowood - July 9, 2010
We need more insurance runs, F-Bomb is warming up....
Halowood - July 9, 2010
why would you walk a .250 hitter
Angelsrthebest101 - July 9, 2010
They still think he's the former .280 hitter.
Halowood - July 9, 2010
Shit. Why Bobby?
Why? 2 out.
halofolife - July 9, 2010
Trade Bobby
Gokyle45 - July 9, 2010
Why are people giving Bobby five in the dugout?
bc56274 - July 9, 2010
Angels baseball
Soth loves to see guys do that
Epic Dean - July 9, 2010

Epic Dean - July 9, 2010
That was a good decision
SS got to the ball faster than expected
vladtheimpaler - July 9, 2010

Rev Halofan - July 9, 2010
Works for me.
Halowood - July 9, 2010
Why the HELL does Abreu get high 5's in the dugout?
Or is my vision screwed up?
sothball - July 9, 2010
Positive reinforcement
Slyintine - July 9, 2010
Because it was the proper play/try
vladtheimpaler - July 9, 2010
OK. Maybe it was the proper play. It FAILED!
This is like giving trophies to everyone, just ’cause they participated.
sothball - July 9, 2010
Abroo not so speedy there
OC Awhole1 - July 9, 2010
why walk Matsui ?
Gokyle45 - July 9, 2010
now u know
OC Awhole1 - July 9, 2010
guess thats why
Gokyle45 - July 9, 2010
Open base
Reggie Willits on deck.
What’s more confusing is why the Athletics didn’t bring in the lefty for the Lefty-Lefty matchup. Guess they don’t trust Ziegler vs Matsui as much as Bailey vs Willits.
Not surprised.
Slyintine - July 9, 2010
Walks Matsui for big daddy Willits
nicolasville - July 9, 2010
Reggie frickin' Willits.....ridic
Halowood - July 9, 2010
do you know what would be crazier then an Aybar homerun
a Willts 3 run shot
UCIHalo - July 9, 2010
a Willit's HR period
Raaddad - July 9, 2010
our bullpen not giving up a run one day this year?
Raaddad - July 9, 2010
OOf... looks like it worked
nicolasville - July 9, 2010
Willits Lovers
are to be hated for embracing mediocrity… he is not and erstad or an eckstein
Rev Halofan - July 9, 2010
We're fooled by his Eck-ishness

salmonforever - July 9, 2010
I loved me some OP
one of my favorite role players…. guy could handle a bat.
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
Exactly
Even Eckstein could hit it in the outfield every so often.
Slyintine - July 9, 2010
He's just a disappointment
eyespy - July 9, 2010
hang on folks this could be a bumpy ride.
keep your arms and hands inside the ride at all times. Remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop
angelsfan7 - July 9, 2010
Does this ride come with vomit bags?
halofan4life - July 9, 2010
they are under your seat - which is also a floatation device.
angelsfan7 - July 9, 2010
Is this ride "satisfaction guaranteed"?
eyespy - July 9, 2010
no guarantees. No refunds
angelsfan7 - July 9, 2010
I'll take two tickets please
Because I would rather ride this then that other ride called the band-wagon
eyespy - July 9, 2010
AGREE
angelsfan7 - July 9, 2010
Don't Punt
it is Funt the *unt
Rev Halofan - July 9, 2010

Halowood - July 9, 2010
F-Bomb coming in to.....
Halowood - July 9, 2010
Why would the A's do a Rally Monkey?
I thought they hated So Cal more than a balanced budget
MH252525 - July 9, 2010
I wonder if all the teams have monkeys
I saw a dodger one the other day.

Fuentes single handedly ended two winning streaks by blowing heartbreaking saves
One last week against the Royals and another one against someone right after the interleague stuff. I am 900000% done with this douche.

Well, it's a W.
I still have no faith in Fuentes.
