LA Angels Monday News Crash:

If any of you are into the bobbleheads, the 66ers are giving away a trout bobblehead on May 13th, and they are going to give away an Edgar Quero bobblehead on July 29th.

The Angels managed only nine runs against the Brewers in this three game series. Here is what portion of those nine runs the individual Angels were responsible for.

Remember, if Rendon gets a single, Drury hits a single that moves Rendon to third, and then Urshela hits an RBI single, Rendon gets credit for 0.25 runs, Drury gets credit for 0.50 runs, and Urshela gets credit for 0.25 runs.

3.75 Trout
1.00 Lamb
1.00 Ohtani
0.75 Neto
0.75 Urshela
0.50 Drury
0.50 Rengifo
0.25 Ward
0.25 Thaiss
0.25 Wallach
0.25 Rendon

Drury’s spectacular supernova the previous series faded quickly from view. It’s been good to see the rookie Neto in the middle of this list the past few series-es.

Now for the year-to-date ranking of the Angel pitchers using this same methodology, but dividing the actual runs allowed by batters faced:

0.00 Silseth (11)
0.00 Devenski (3)
0.05 Ohtani (131)
0.05 Moore (58)
0.05 Estevez (56)
0.09 Davidson (53)
0.09 Wantz (45)
0.10 Sandoval (113)
0.11 Canning (62)
0.13 Barria (65)
0.13 Quijada (43)
0.14 Anderson (120)
0.14 Detmers (115)
0.16 Suarez (105)
0.18 Herget (35)
0.19 Loup (45)
0.25 Tepera (20)
0.29 Warren (6)

Using the Actual Runs Allowed/Batters Faced method, we see that Barria and Quijada have been equally effective this year at preventing runs to score, while Loup has been significantly worse than both of them.

However, the distortion of ERA paints a different picture. Here is the current ERA for these three pitchers:

2.76 Barria
5.40 Loup
6.00 Quijada
