Sunday, June 05, 2005Week in Review: May 30 – June 5Overall Record: 32-24
Games Behind 0.5
Week Record: 2-4
Pace: 93-69
Record after 56 games: 2002: 34-22 2003: 29-27 2004: 33-23 Opponents: at Chicago May 30-June 1 (1-2), at Boston June 3-June 5 (1-2) Hot: Several batters hit better than .300: AK, GA, the Flying Molinas, Erstad, and Finley. AK hit .550 to lead the pack. Figgins hit 2 HRs, despite not hitting much else. GA surpassed Salmon for all-time Angels RBI leader with a 3 run HR against the Red Sox on Saturday that also put the team in the lead for good. The starting pitching has largely continued to do its job and was often solid, occasionally stellar. Not: Their bullpen, especially the Big Three of Shields, Donnelly, and Frankie K, has been terrible. Frankie has only pitched in one game since his return from the DL, so he may still be fine, but it is hard to say at this point. The team bullpen ERA has jumped from somewhere around 2.7ish to 3.41 in just about a week. Chone Figgins’ defense in RF almost gave me heart attacks. Figgins was also not batting particularly well. Coming up: The Angels face the Braves for what I think is their first meeting in history. I also think they have not faced the Mets in NY. Vlad is eligible to come off of the DL this week, but likely will not until their road trip is over at the end of the week. Opponents coming up: at Atlanta June 6-8, at New York Mets June 10-12 Probable Starters: Lackey vs. Smoltz, Byrd vs. Ramirez, Escobar vs. Hudson, Colon vs. Ishii, Washburn vs. Benson, Lackey vs. Martinez Comments:"The Angels face the Braves for what I think is their first meeting in history. I also think they have not faced the Mets in NY." You are correct sir! Hey-o! |
