ROLLING FAT
Quite the game delivered by Bartolo Colon yesterday. Good control, good velocity, a minimum of mistakes. As we are so used to seeing, the threw his hardest pitch of the day in his last inning of work. He was consistently in the mid-90s with his fastball, so I feel confident in saying he's fine, and that's good.
The other big news in Haloville is the arrival of Brandon Wood. I'm sure I mentioned this last week, but I do not believe Brandon is ready for the big time quite yet, but the Angels are not averse to bringing up top prospects for short periods before they get a permanent call. I just hope that the kid does get some consistent playing time for the duration of this stay, both so we can get a look at him against top competition and that he can get his feet wet against same.
Anyway, not much else to see here. We're going back on the road, where there have been problems, but with the lineup occasionally resembling a real offense and the pieces falling together in the rotation, I would expect our Lads to put up a much better showing than on our last pathetic road trip.
