Worst Case Scenario
The Angels have officially hit Worst Case Scenario on offense. No one is remotely close to hitting well consistently except for Vlad (who hadn't been doing well lately, anyways), and now he is on the DL. The Angels offense has not had three regulars hitting well at the same time for a week since early April. Many of the players have not had anything that could be called a "hot streak" (warm maybe). Meanwhile, their pitching (both starting and relieving has basically been phenomenal). Of course, Escobar (the team's theoretical ace) is on the DL, Washburn (the team's ace when they won the World Series) left last night's game with a possible injury, and Frankie Rodriguez (by far the best pitcher on the team) hasn't pitched in a week. Meanwhile, the Angels are somehow 25-17, 2.5 games ahead of Texas, 8 games ahead of Oakland, and 8.5 games ahead of Seattle. This almost reminds me of the Angels last May, where they jumped out to a 29-15 record and then started collapsing under the weight of injuries. I would say this is a time to panic, but they are still in good shape somehow. It's all about bubblegum and duct tape.
