Okay and we faced their only good starter. Y’all act like y’all didn’t watch Kikuchi shut everyone down last year
I would agree the Angels are playing above their pay grade right now. I don't expect them to eclipse 75 wins again this season. A pretty bad pitching staff, an underwhelming lineup and a manager who is probably still doing blow on the regular.
They aren’t good but they aren’t straight ass either. We’ve seen what Kikuchi can do, especially when he throws strikes like he did tonight. We should have scored off Jansen but Detmers has been exceptional over his last 15+ appearances. Strickland hasn’t allowed an earned run in 15+ innings now.
Tomorrow will take everything Espada has with the pitching staff moves to pull it out. Unless we plan on bludgeoning Soriano. Walter for 4-6 innings Ort Okert Dubin Sousa King Available.
But he does trust Sousa. You watched the bottom of the 10th inning? Another manager probable has Hader pitch a 2nd inning.
Altuve and Diaz (3&4), were 0-9 with 1 BB (the BB did not contribute to a R) and 7 K [0-3 RISP, rest of team was 1-5] Brown was not Brown. Ump was on crack. How the hell did we win this game?
Astros an outstanding 21-9 in starts by Valdez and Brown. A very competitive 23-23 in all other starts.
Ron Washington is a good dude going through some health problems right now, let's not dance on graves or anything. Ray Montgomery is now officially 0-1 as an MLB manager.
