Another game in which the Angels offense makes the opposing pitcher look like Cy Young. Washburn wasn't awful, but he was worse than his numbers look to this point. Another first inning in which he was bailed out by his defense. Home runs to noted sluggers Craig Monroe and Brandon Inge. But really, the way the offense looks, once he gave up the homer to Monroe, he was pretty much going to be a loser. Give up one run, give up a hundred. Once you give up one, it's over.
Hey, remember when the Angels offense used to be good because the didn't strike out too much? Me too. And we can't even blame McPherson. We're through five innings of game 2, and they've already struck out 15 times today. 15!!!! Bonderman is good, but he only went six innings. Maroth is mowing them down throwing nothing but fastballs for strike one, then just taking what they're giving him. McPherson gonna stand 15 feet away from the plate? Just throw sliders away. Easy. Even the pitch-watchin' A's are striking out less than the Angels this season.
Note to Mike Scioscia: THIS is when you conceded runs. When you're up by 3 in the 6th against a team that really really sucks at the plate.
Just when you think there's a bit of life, they go right back and suck it out of you. Losers.
