I don't get to see much of the Angels -- except on highlights -- but Peter Gammons has mentioned a few times recently that many of their starting pitchers have lost a tremendous amount of velocity, as much as 8 MPH.
He didn't mention anyone specifically, so I am not sure who he is referring to.
Without anyone feeling the urge to throw in the obligatory Gammons insults, does anyone know what he is talking about here?
i've watched the angels regularly and haven't even heard it mentioned yet..
I dont really know either, but I saw the friday Hudson/Colon matchup. Colon gave up 3 runs on 3 homers and had 6 other hits in 8 IP. Washburn did mediocre the next day, pitching only 5 innings, giving up 2 runs. Maybe he's talking about Colon and Washburn, but it was only one game each so that would be a big amount of speculation. As far as their velocity goes, Colon does sometimes tone down his heat a few mph below normal but he's done that before so it's not really anything new.
I watch them on MLB Extra Innings and they seem fine to me. More relieable at least, then some of the starting pitching we have.
