Angels 2, Pirates 5
The Angels lose again, their 9th loss in the past 12 games. It drops their inter-league mark to 3-6.
- Was that a good start, or not? I'm conflicted. On the one hand, Colon's velocity was good, and his control was almost what you might call "fair." On the other hand, he's still missing up in the zone far too often, and he seems to be in love with his off-speed stuff. He was very effective when he was constantly throwing his fastball, but he keeps going away from it for some reason.
I'm going to error on the side of optimism and say that this start, combined with the improvement he showed against the Cubs, shows that Colon has turned the corner. Now please, for the love of god, prove me right you fat bastard!
- I'm not quite sure he deserves it, but just to be safe, I'm going to give Rob mad props for his Bartolo Colon prediction. Mad props to you, good sir!
- Let me make this clear: losing two of three to the Pirates is unacceptable. Only scoring nine runs in those three games with a (almost) completely healthy lineup is unacceptable. Allowing the Pirates to score 12 runs in those three games is unacceptable. There was very little about this series that I'm willing to accept.
- The national league has got Kevin Gregg figured out. In his two inter-league appearances he has allowed 6 ER in 2.1 IP.
- Garret Anderson was the lone bright spot in this otherwise dreary series. He went 6 for 11, with one homerun, a double, and two RBI.
