VIDEO: Mike Scioscia forgets the rule about mound visits and pitching changes

Of course Scioscia can't do that because pitching coach Mike Butcher went out for a mound visit to pitcher Nick Maronde...

What to do about the Angels bullpen?

This season so far has been....some sort of ride. A rash of injuries has plagued the Angels, sending a good number of their starting regulars on the DL. A sudden outbreak of injuries opened up a sizeable number of spots for the kids on their way up from the minors to show off their goods out of the bullpen. Take, for instance, Angels 2012 9th round draft pick Michael Roth. This is...

And Boom goes the dynamite…or the ball bag! Umpire John Hirschbeck was the victim of a Nick Maronde fastball that went right off the glove of Chris Iannetta in the top of the 4th inning.  Not sure if Hirschbeck was wearing a cup but if anyone has ever been hit in the cup with a baseball knows that it still rattles the cage.

Umpire John Hirschbeck Takes Foul Tip Directly to Groin During Angels-Rangers Game (Video)

One can only hope he was wearing a cup.

Umpire Takes Fastball Directly To His Man Parts

Umpire John Hirschbeck will never be the same after this (untrue). Check out how a fastball from Nick Maronde was just a bit inside and slipped past the catcher’s mitt and went directly where no man wants a fastball to end up. Hirschbeck and his extremely sturdy cup were fine. [@lonestarball] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

Game Recap 9/16/12: Hang in there, baby - Angels 4, Royals 3

After Saturday's debacle, a nice 4-0 cushion early in the game seemed like a blessing.  Surely the Angels would continue to pad that lead against the sad sack Royals and cruise to victory.  That was the plan anyway. But you know what they say about best laid plans.  As it turns out, the Angels would never score again, thus subjecting the still recovering fanbase to...
