The Terrible Two’s – Angels Season Outlook

Apr 5 | by Tony C | Angels Baseball, Howie Kendrick, Joe Saunders, John Lackey, Kendry Morales

ALDS Los Angeles Angels vs Boston Red Sox

This off-season has marked one of the largest turnovers in Angel’s history. Lackey to the Red Sox, Figgins to the Mariners, and Vlad and Oliver to the Rangers. In response, the Angels quietly brought in three so-called “band-aid” free agents in Hideki Matsui, Fernando Rodney, and Joel Pinero. We have heard all off-season about how there are really no clear-cut “stars” on any part of this team. Torii Hunter is the favorite in the line-up, but even with his spectacular defense he usually struggles to hit .280. Weaver is the guy in the starting rotation, but he has yet to win more than 16 games in a season.

The Angels get set to embark upon the road trip of the year. The Angels are six games up so a little struggle wouldn’t kill us, but coming out at about .500 for the trip should sustain our division league. This is, however, easier said than done as we get set to face the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rangers. This week will be must see TV for Angels so be sure not to miss these matchups.

September is here and in the next couple of weeks Mike Scioscia will look to adjust the rotation for the playoffs. This will obviously be done with caution as Texas is still breaching down our necks. So the question is what will the Angels playoff rotation look like?

It’s been a rough end of the month for the Angels. Halo fans witnessed a rarity in 2009: 3 consecutive losses. It’s only happened 3 other times this year. Los Angeles Dodgers/Colorado Rockies in June, Texas Rangers in May, and Minnesota Twins in April. The Angels have only been swept in 2 [...]

Pitching – SOMEONE HELP!

John Lackey failed to get his 100th win again last night and the pitching problems for the Angels continue. Yahoo sports reported today that the Angels tried to get Billy Wagner but the Red Sox had the better waiver position. That would have been consider the Angels only have two relievers who have actually finished…

Overcoming adversity
For the Angels, the beginning of the season was a roller coaster to say the least. It began with a plague of injuries to some of our key stars, especially, the pitching staff. This included John Lackey, Ervin Santana, and Kelvim Escobar (who is still out). The problem, however, was alleviated [...]
