Bats are working but Colon didn't look so good. He's hitting 95ish on the radar but getting the ball up in the zone too much. How can he pitch so well last time and then throw like that?

Maybe he got too confident after Vlad's monster slam (BTW - it HAD to be more than 435')
I cant believe how strong he is. On every replay i've seen it looked like he hit that toward the end of the bat, but the ball just kept going and going. Huge HR.Quote:

Someone on the radio said if the Angels aren't up by 7 or 8 games by the All-Star break. Something is wrong... since Oakland is all banged up right now.
has scoscia(sp) used the same batting order twice in the last two weeks?
they may be in first now, but the AL west is weak and vlad still doesnt have anyone protecting him in the lineup. they better get some stellar pitching this season
Escobar looked great last time he went up to pitch. Lackey still looking great as usual. But we need to get Lackey some run support. He's winning games, but it's like 2-1 or 3-1. Not too much comfort for him.
Santana needs to smell the coffee and do his thing. His ERA is kinda high. Weaver finally looked good again today.
Anyone else surprised at what Matthews Jr is doing for us? I thought he'd totally be a flake or be under average so to speak. But he's doing pretty darn good, and I like it. Plus Reggie Willits is a HUGE plus for us, especially with GA out. I hope Willits get more playing time even when GA returns.
Plus Kendrick is about to come back. He'll play for AAA Salt Lake this week or next week I believe.
The where whats?

its funny that both the dodgers and angels are in need of 3rd basemen that can hit. Do the angels have anyone in mind?
