Whitewashed in '05 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2012 -> 09:41 AM) The Angels have now been shut out during each of Ervin Santana's last 5 starts. First time in MLB History that's happened to a single pitcher Sucks for him. He has 2 QS in that 6 game span. The other decent start was the 7IP with 4ER. The others weren't so good though. Looks like Danks passed on the losing streak to him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the guy doing real well who nobody is talking about is Jason Hammel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Trout now 4/24 with 6 K's. Pujols on the bench at least to start the game. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_...-angeles-angels Pujols very grumpy about being benched. Almost 140 AB's since his last homer. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?g...&mode=video Trout ended up 2/4 with his first homer of the season, now at .231 6 homers in 149 career at-bats, would pencil in at 20-25 HR's for a full season hitting lead-off.

At this point it has to be something, injury, lack of PEDs, eye sight problems, age discrepancy, something. The best hitter of a generation doesn't just fall off the map like this. He has no power and is swinging at bad pitches. He doesn't even look like the same batter. Edited May 6, 2012 by RME JICO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever is happening to Pujols is extremely significant. His pitch selection, OBP, power, average, everything is way down across the board. This situation could very well alter player contracts above the age of 30 for a long time. It makes Soriano's contract look decent, at least he produced when he showed up in Chicago.

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Making Paul Konerko's contract in his 30's now look even more amazing (knock on wood). And Dunn's doesn't look quite so bad as far as hitters in their 30's (especially DH types) getting paydays. Jayson Werth is another one that was just insane.

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Chris Davis 0/7 with 5 K's. He's about to go into the bottom of the 16th tie game in BOS and probably take the loss as a PITCHER. Or if he retires the Red Sox, it will really be a story. Threw an 83 MPH change to K Salty, ranging from 89-91 MPH on the fastball. This is pretty amazing. KW, trade for him as a starter/3B. Darnell McDonald will enter for the Red Sox in the 17th. Two outs now, 2nd on a flyout. Bryd is on, E-5 on Wilson Betemit, LOL. Would have retired the side 1-2-3 if not for our old friend. OUT AT HOME OUT AT HOME. Aviles hits a double into the gap and the perfect relay nails Marlon Byrd at home. On we go to the 17th. I love this game (sorry NBA).

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 83 MPH fastball by Adam Jones into the Monster Seats. Still hasn't retired a batter, haha. Walk, caught stealing, double, walk, HR. Has to stay out there for infinity. And Boston's season just keeps getting better and better! Red Sox/WEEI crew claiming the Red Sox still have a good chance to rally in the bottom of the 17th. Davis as DH/P appearing at the plate. Can he take 6 K's as a hitter and the win as a pitcher? Nick Markakis just had his 4th walk, JJ Hardy has 5 hits, a career high. What is his WARP for a game like this, haha? 6 hour long game officially. 6 K's would have tied the major league record for a game but he avoids it, 0 for 8 at the plate and possibly the winning pitcher.

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) O's had the early 5-0 lead, Red Sox rallied to tie, O's took the lead 6-5 in the 8th, Red Sox tied in the bottom of the 8th. First runs there scored since the 8th. Red Sox still haven't used Little Nick Punto and Shoppach off their bench. Bullet up the middle, leadoff single for the Red Sox in the bottom of the 17th. Last game like this for BOS was a 19 inning loser against the Red Sox against the White Sox, Julian Taveras was the loser, we ALL remember that one right before the ASB in 2006 I think. Getaway flights/schedules all messed up. Tying run coming up, 2 baserunners on, Adrian Gonzalez 0 for 7 after being 6 for his last 10, D. McDonald the pitcher on deck. Losing velocity on his fastball in his second inning of work. 0/8 for A-Gone, haha. Yikes. McDonald as the pitcher could tie the game and extend it. Bizarre. DP. Chris Davis, 2 IP, 0 ER, 2 K's. Horrific 1-5 homestand for the Red Sox. Strangest line of recent baseball boxscore history. Edited May 6, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
