Sele ends skid at four
I now know what it's like to be a Mariners fan. Ok, maybe not, but those four games were pretty excruciating. The Angels broke their skid with a solid 5-1 win over the White Sox today.
- Aaron Sele did it again. He got his fourth win of the year, giving up just four hits and one run in 6 1/3. And this time he even had his strikeout pitch working (6 Ks). I said yesterday that Escobar was the Angel's best starter- well Sele's giving him a run for his money.
- All Rob Quinlan did today was go 1-3 with a walk. I just can't wrap my head around why this guy isn't getting a real shot. He's proven that he can hit at every level of pro ball, and he can play at the corner outfield positions as well as first base. Why not put him in the field and give Vlad or Guillen the day off at DH?
- Scioscia brought in Frankie to pitch the ninth- even though the Angels had a four-run lead. I can't say I blame him- I don't think I could live through another Ben Webber meltdown either.
- Scot Shields threw a pitch to Timo Perez that broke at least five feet. I'm not exaggerating at all. This thing started well above the belt and inside, and ended up in the dirt and well off the outside corner. Just nasty.
- Casey Kotchman had an extra-base hit! I repeat, Casey Kotchman had an extra-base hit!
- Jeff DaVanon's OPS is creeping up toward the high .900's. Is anyone starting to come around on my "DaVanon could be a star" comment?
