August 6th @ LAA, rubber game

[Waryn]

who's working long relief?

long long long day.

Waters trusts his stuff while Olson still needs some confidence.

He is a few years older. It has traditionally taken Olson a little while to adjust to a higher level. I still have faith in him. The ability is there, it just needs to be more consistent. Obviously.

Wow...6-1 already. Garrett really needs to just start throwing strikes. If you're constantly behind the batter then he's just going to start clobbering your pitches...which is what the Angels are doing now.

later all... back to work...

[Fan4Life]

He's terrible, I'm ready for another AA option.

[SJA]

They just mentioned he was leading the league in AA all 3 categories for the triple crown when he was brought up.

Actually he was leading the league in just about every offensive stat except triples and SB. Hits, OPS, Slugging, doubles, runs...

In fact, he was doing so much better than anyone else, that he still may win the triple crown even if he doesn't go back down.

Ring, ring. Mr. Penn? You have a phone call. I'll pack your bags.

Go O's!

Lou=Manny Jr? All small sample sizes point to yes.

Nah, it's just Luis being Luis... lol

[NewMarketSean]

I guess Olson was too busy talking last night to watch Waters pitch and learn a little bit? LOL

Very true. The HR's will probably fall though.

That's what I was getting at. Still, Olson has #3/4 stuff, while Waters will most likely be a swingman/#5.

[Ned from York]

Get Olson out of there and send him down or let him pitch from the pen.

[Waryn]

I am getting pretty tired of Olson to be quite honest.

[itsernst]

he gets behind batters too much, and they know a fastball is coming and crush it.

[Ned from York]

Well, if we can hold'em for the rest of the game and Lou gets 5 more at bats, we're lookin' at extra innings baby!
