Los Angeles Angels Update
Posted on 26 Sep 2012 by Joshua Skelton.
Manager Mike Scioscia has been trying really hard for us to lose these very important games. His pitching changes have been curious at best. He took Jerome Williams out of the first game, in a very important series against Texas, when he was shutting down the Rangers in a big way, for Garrett Richards who proceeded to give up 2 runs when we were on our way back into that game. Then, instead of ...

Los Angeles Angels update
Posted on 14 Sep 2012 by Joshua Skelton.
Do they have it in them? Some games, they look like the dominate team that everyone thought they should be this season. Some games, they look completely offensively inept and look unsure of their roles on the team. Manager Mike Scioscia should be treating every game as a playoff game. I was a little bit surprised to not see some type of squeeze play two nights ago with no outs and runners on fi...

Angels pitching continues to stink up baseball
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Is it time for Mike Butcher to refresh his resume? After this weekends debacle that saw his pitchers give 46 hits and 37 earned runs, it appears his pitchers have quit on him. Maybe they've quit on Scioscia, I don't know, but it sure looks like they quit on someone. On a positive note, at least the Halos played good defense the past 4 days. A few things chapped my ass this weekend. I'll give ...

Extra, extra….Angels drop a pair in San Diego
Posted on 20 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
What a break for the Angels. They started interleague play with 3 games against the worst team, record wise at least, in the National League in the San Diego Padres. The Padres left the 3 games with the 2nd worst record in the NL. What helps is taking 2 of 3 from the awful Angels. I know, this Halo team, full of veterans, will get their act together. Unfortunately, it wasn't this weekend. When...

Angels slip Hatcher a Mickey in the form of a pink slip
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Mickey Hatcher is out as Angels coach. Jim Eppard is in. If there is any more questions as to who is running the team, I think it can be answered now. Jerry DiPoto thinks the Angels offense has been underachieving, so he pulled the plug on one of Mike Scioscia's closest buddies. It probably way past due for the long-time batting instructor, who as recently as 3 years ago saw his charges hit ....

After being shutout, Angels take to pounding Colon
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I was getting all frustrated last night after finding out the Angels were shut out for the 8th time this year, 5-0 by the A's. I stopped, thought about it, and reconsidered my frustration. The Halos are just 15-21 (now 16), and I know with the expectations placed on the team, that's not the best, but it's actually not awful. It's only been 37 games, that means there are 125 games left. Or, a lo...

Jordan Rules (NOT!)
Posted on 27 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Told you so. After the Angels were eliminated last year I said they need to go after Jonathan Papelbon or Heath Bell (Who stinks right now in Miami). I am glad they signed Albert Pujols, but most of the Halos problems were in the bullpen. They still are. It took Jordan Walden all of two batters to lose the finale in Tampa Bay on Thursday. A fastball right down the middle to a fastball hitter. ...

Angels continue to lose at an alarming rate
Posted on 25 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I know we'll all be laughing about this come September, but as of right now the Angels are hard to watch. Ervin Santana didn't give up 3 1st inning runs today against Tampa Bay, but he did give up leadoff bomb to Desmond Jennings. Santana did give up 3 more home runs, making it 10 in 4 starts, but he at least gave the team a chance to win. Oh, I forgot, the Angels offense was completely shut ...

Angels headed home after being tripped up on the road
Posted on 16 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Time to come home. I am sure the Angels will be happy to be off the road. They should have gone 4-2 on the 6 game trip that took them to Minnesota and New York. Instead, they went 2-4, and are looking up at the all the teams in the West. The Halos gave up 34 runs in the 6 games, while scoring 31, so I guess a 2-4 was about right. That CJ Wilson sure can pitch. He had never won a game against th...

After being Royally beat down, the Angels got back on target in Minnesota
Posted on 10 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
The Angels were picked by just about everyone to not only get to the Series, but to win it. Everyone associated in baseball is aware of that fact. I tell you that because you should get ready for every team to be at their best when they play the Halos. On any normal day, the Angels would have raked Luke Hochevar and Jonathan Sanchez, but Kansas City guys got up for the playing the paper champio...

Albert who? The rest of the Angels prove to a royal pain in the A** to Kansas City
Posted on 7 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Spring training stats mean absolutely nothing. Coming in tonight's season opener, Jered Weaver had a spring ERA of nearly 6. Bruce Chen's spring ERA was close to 10. What did those 2 do? They combined to throw 14 scoreless innings, while striking out 14. The Angels vaunted offense was completely shut down by Chen, who gave up just 3 hits in 6 innings. Halos came close to pushing over a run in ...

WOW!!!!! Albert Pujols trades in his Cardinals red for Angels red
Posted on 8 Dec 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I am beside myself right now. Like you, I heard that the Angels were the laying in the weeds for Albert Pujols, but I felt it was just posturing, that he would eventually end up back in St. Louis. I can honestly say I was more focused on C.J. Wilson, who I felt was coming to the Angels. I was wrong, and right. In a move that will rattle the baseball power brokers, the Angels signed Pujols to a...
