April 26, 200520 yr How about we win the series there before we get all cocky. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I gotta agree with you, one win against OAK we are not all powerful..we need to win the Series... ANd Tonights game is fa-king HUGE.. Harden is a stud, if lose tonight, I would be okay with it, Tommorow though, I would like to see a win.
April 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 07:14 AM) I agree about the pitching depth, but their offense doesn't really compare at all. The 2002 Angels offense is more like a poor man's version of the 2004 Red Sox offense. Eckstein .363 OBP, .293 AVG Kennedy .345 OBP, .312 AVG Anderson .870 OPS, 30 HR, 125 RBI Glaus 30 HR, 110 RBI Salmon .880 OPS Fullmer .880 OPS Erstad .283 AVG Spiezio .810 OPS Molina Bench Palmeiro .300 AVG in 263 ABs Wooten .292 AVG in 113 ABs Gil .285 AVG in 130 ABs Nieves .289 AVG in 100 ABs Fabregas The catchers were a major disaster for the 2002 Angels if we're talking offense. Fabregas hit .193 and Molina hit .245. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We haven't even began to hit. Just wait....just wait.
April 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsideirish @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) We haven't even began to hit. Just wait....just wait. and when that happens, the pitching will fall off. As long as we get the W's, i don't care how we do it.
April 26, 200520 yr Try the Minny 2001 team. Minny http://baseball.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/batt...Type=2&type=reg WSox http://baseball.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/batt...Type=2&type=reg 05 Apr WSox .258A .300O .396S vs Opp .220A .291O .341S 16W-4L (2.97ERA) 01 Apr Minny .265A .332O .458S vs Opp .242A .302O .386S 18W-6L (3.62ERA) Individually wise the corelation is scary. 4 guys 300+, stars struggling, few in middle. Pitching-wise they led with Milton, Radke, & Mays. Romero & Redman were a far cry from Contreras & Hernandez but they made up for that with a better offense. The diff is pretty close. WSox +.038A, +.009O, +055S vs Minny +.023A, +.030O, +.072S That Minny team went on to win 55 of it's first 87 gms before the AS break. Because of injuries it only won 30 in the 2nd half. 01 May Minny .266A .336O .404S vs .262A .316O .386S 16W-11L (3.93ERA) 05 Apr WSox RON .287A .323O .466S vs Opp .221A .301O .300S 01 All Minny RON .269A .341O .406S vs Opp .280A .337O .458S Santana was lost in the 2nd half. Again our hitting in RON sits is what's getting us the wins. That's overshadowing our overall weakness at the plate. The pitching is giving us the opportunities for the wins. That Minny team didn't see the bottom fall out of the pitching staff in May & I don't expect that to happen with the WSox either. If we have 55 wins before the break I'd be very happy.
