“That felt good,” Hunter said. “It was good to get away from that road trip. That was a disaster. We’d like to apologize to the fans, to the front office and everybody because of the way we played. It was terrible. But we won two out of three in Seattle and kind of built off of it.”Coming back home has been met with better play from the Halos. Not great or really even good, but passable. Yesterday's win highlighted the holes in defense, baserunning (2 strike 'em out, throw 'em out DPs), and of course the bullpen. They dug out the win though, which I though was the best sign. The Rays could've very well stolen the game, but I thought that the Angels were very much in it and had the momentum. They gritted through to win it.
Today, (so far) this game is a blowout. I want to see the Angels fight through it, chip away, do anything but lay down and conceed the game. I would consider that a big step forward after that awful road trip.
Kaz took some baby steps today. I don't think he did as bad as the line suggests. He didn't give up any extra base hits and a few of the hits were of the infield variety. And 3ER after that disaster in Boston is a definite improvement. Of course, the big things holding him down (walks, pitch count) did not improve. He wasn't economical with his pitches, for the most part lived on the outer edges of the plate, and was at 108 pitches in 5IP. We'll see if he can at least keep heading in the right direction.
Weave vs. Price tomorrow should be a great game. Hopefully I'll get to catch some of it!
