Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

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.

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.

I think I'll wait until the end-of-game recap post before declaring happiness.

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

According to the Angels' braodcast

the royals are 11-1 when willie drives in a run!

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  

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.

Izturis has a slash line of 303/349/412

With 0 < x <10 defense at short.

I guess I should use more advanced stats.

Don’t talk bad about my guy.
