It's a new manager finding out what he has. Luckily when it comes to pitchers Llyod has a quick hook, and he won't put up with Mauer type performances long. Wish he would do the same with position players (see Brad Miller).Smelly McUgly":2uyadrrf said:Why Maurer is up here getting shelled every outing while Erasmo Ramirez is in Tacoma, I don't know. Ramirez isn't great, but he's way better than Maurer.
Paxton was pitching really well before his injury, so I'm excited about getting him back. Walker, we'll see about. Hope he's as advertised.
Because the offense SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!Blitzer88":pfqzlt7b said:Why can't we beat the dang Astros? Really disappointing series split...................

Felix looked great last night. Until the unfortunate 9th inning - I detest the Angels (or perhaps am just plain jealous) for having a Trout-Pujols combo in their lineup. Felix handled them expertly all night long.
Strange that he hasn't had a complete game yet this year. Though, I hope in the long run it pays off - less innings pitched bodes well for the September arm, I suppose.
Hovering around .500 all month long sure has been nice, but I agree; it would be even better to string together a solid 1-2 week hot streak and get after that wildcard.

His good, but somewhat un-Felix play made sense to me when we found out that there was a virus going around the clubhouse. I'm not surprised to see him work his way back into dominance (as usual) now that he is feeling better.
Taijuan Walker got beat up in Tacoma last night. Paxton got shut down for shoulder stiffness. PLEASE get those two healthy (and Walker needs to be pitching well). Replacing Maurer and Elias is crucial.

Don't agree about Roenis. He has been pitching well enough for a BOTR pitcher and is a steady lefty. He just needs to avoid early troubles.
We're one HGW away from being a team that make a post-season run.IndyHawk":2to19e09 said:We know the pitching is real good..The offense overall is weak..Our GM must have little pull that he can't cut/trade for a couple of bats..Hart and LoMo just aren't going to cut it ..I think we are a .500 team or a little better but we could be a lot better ..How many 1 run games have we lost? How many games do we have 5 hits or less?Thats where 2 good hitters fix a lot of that problem..
Nope, not really.Uncle Si":neji8lg6 said:Any worries about Felix now?
