Uh Oh
Ervin Santana's average fastball so far through two innings today: 94.6mph, with a high of 96.3. Ponson's also being reported a bit higher than usual, but not to this degree. It seems Ervin may (may) finally be getting better.
* Do note that Ervin had good velocity in years prior to 2008 without being awesome, so this doesn't automatically mean that we're boned.

You put up a post declaring him healthy or not every time he pitches.

What a lovely picture.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

Don't you?
Healthy, 100% Ervin Santana is terrific.

I do.
I just think sometimes maybe it’s SSS? Shouldn’t you wait at least until he’s done pitching this one game? And I’m not convinced that you can say he’s healthy/hurt based solely on his average fastball velocity.

This isn't so much a healthy/not healthy thing as a 100%/not 100% thing
and you can’t fluke your way into high velocity. It looks a lot like Ervin has improved today.

And he was looking pretty good during his last start as well wasn't he?
by OlSalty on Jul 21, 2009 3:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Didn't he have the same thing six weeks or so ago
and came out the next start and got shelled? It could just be coincidence – isn’t this his first start post ASG?

He hasn't thrown this well all year
We’ll see which way he goes. I’m just raising awareness.

I can't wait until next Felix start where you declare his velocity is normal.

So The Angels
get a scandalously fortunate sweep against the Yankees, and then get to add more talent. Stop this train, I think I know what the end of the line looks like

Isn't this where Matthew gets mad at you for causing people to panic because of gun readings?

Last one was 97
but Jose Guillen hit a 2-run single off of it.
by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 21, 2009 3:13 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Santana hit 97 in the 3rd
and 96 at least twice.

Angels have scored the second most runs per game in the AL
Anyone ever look at the Angels offense and think “That looks like a top of the line hitting force”?

Any lineup with Figgins
Izturis and Willits in it, just doesn’t seem like it should score much.

Right right
I know that Figgins is good, but he just doesn’t look like he should be.
It’s stupid and illogical.

We should acquire his best friend Juan Pierre from LAD to mess with his head
Seriously though, I hate that I can’t hate LAA. They are scrappy, win games, are nice to animals, help old ladies across the street, speak grammatically, etc.
