Can you really be mad when it’s Pujols?

— weretheteamtobeat.com — Sorry Met fans, that’s a tough loss last night.  3 run lead going into the eighth and... the bullpen can’t hold it down.  However that sort of thing can’t be helped when Albert Pujols is involed.  Fat Albert went 4-5 with 2 home runs and 5 RBIs.  He hit a clutch eighth inning ...

I though his job as an ace was to to be a shutdown starter. I know he has had his solid starts but he has been too inconsistent in my opinion. Look ... (more) Santana: Where is our Ace?

The Mighty Fall of Ervin Santana
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Mighty Fall of Ervin Santana Exploring Ervin Santana’s massive drop off in production from 2008 to 2009 using video analysis. An excerpt: Santana drops down much further in 2009, applying more bend to that back leg. That in itself wouldn’t be cause for a loss in velocity, but small changes can disrupt a pitcher’s timing and timing problems could certainly result in a velocity loss.

And That Happened
The Hardball Times — ... Angels 6, Rays 0: Yesterday I read this story entitled "The Mighty Fall of Angels Pitcher Ervin Santana." Ervin Santana apparently didn't read it (CG SHO 3 H). David Price didn't allow a hit until the fifth, and then the wheels just came off (6 IP, 8 H, 6 ER). ...

Santana’s mechanics
Angels blog — This Baseball-Intellect post about Ervin Santana’s mechanics ( The Mighty Fall Of Angels Pitcher Ervin Santana ) had the unfortunate timing to be posted on Monday, but it’s a great look at Ervin Santana’s pitching motion.

Even better, to see what they’re talking about. Side by side, (2007 is on the left, then 2008 in the center, and 2009 on the right), it’s pretty striking how much his ...
