Pickoff Moves
Angels 8, Mariners 4
We had friends over yesterday, and I got some new toys for the woodshop, and so was unable to watch or listen to either game. Therefore, a couple passing comments on last night's game. I had been in the living room with the game stuck in 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, and then I popped in near the end of the seventh... what a howler.If Sele didn't get this win, he's toast, especially, if he didn't win against this weak-hitting lineup. That said, three earned runs, three walks, and five hits in six innings isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
Offensively, Ron Villone kept the Angels' bats pretty effectively in check. Good news: Timmy 2-4, and Robb Quinlan's 3-4 night, with a home run. Erstad's three-run dinger, too.
You know your bullpen is weak when Josh Paul homers.
Washburn To Miss Next Start
As if we didn't have enough problems. Due to costochondritis, of which, this quote is rather disturbing: "The condition's course generally is self-limited, but the patient often experiences recurrent or persistent symptoms." Ortiz to pitch tomorrow.Dodgers 12, Padres 2
I guess we can all be happy Ismael Valdez isn't a Dodger anymore. Or conversely, that Belly has finally shown what he can really do once he stops swinging at that outside slider in the dirt.Is Jayson Werth really a number two hitter? And is Green maybe making a comeback we thought earlier extremely unlikely, if not impossible? He's had five homers this month, his biggest single-month total since September 2003. And the month's not out yet.
And Encarnacion homering -- well, it might keep him on the lineup a little more, but I wouldn't count on it if I were him.
