” Enough is enough,” Maddon said after Thursdays 10-5 roadway loss dropped the Angels record to 8-18. I dont wan na use the word careless loosely, however in that scenario, you quite much understood it was gon na happen once again. And Im not accusing the man of doing anything on purpose; Im simply stating he doesnt command his fastball enough in order to know where its going.”
” You just cant permit that to take place,” Maddon said of Anderson throwing up and in Trout.
San Francisco Giants reducer Shaun Anderson threw another fastball near Mike Trouts head on Thursday, 2 days after tossing two fastballs near Trouts head.
The current event drew a warning from the umpiring crew and more pointed words from Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon, who previously identified Anderson as “a boy whos not ready to be here.”
” Enough is enough,” Maddon stated after Thursdays 10-5 roadway loss dropped the Angels record to 8-18. And Im not accusing the guy of doing anything on function; Im just stating he does not command his fastball enough in order to understand where its going.”
Giants manager Gabe Kapler, who played for Maddon on the Tampa Bay Rays, stated Tuesday that Anderson was “a little tense” on the mound and that there was no destructive intent behind his pitches.
With the Giants holding a six-run lead and Trout approximately start the seventh in Thursdays series finale, Kapler relied on Anderson once again. At that point, Maddon said, “My antennae were up.”
When Andersons second pitch, at 96 mph, came too near to Trouts head when again, Maddon became furious, entering into a heated exchange with the umpiring crew. Two pitches later, Trout drove a slider to deep left field that fell a number of inches except a house run and rather chose a triple.
Kapler selected not to speak on the matter postgame, stating he didnt wish to interfere with Joey Barts debut and Brandon Crawfords 100th career house run.
Anderson, 25, pitched 96 innings for the Giants last year however got in Thursdays game averaging 7.7 strolls per 9 innings in 2020. He has actually tossed less than 50% of his four-seam fastballs in the strike zone this season.
” You just cant permit that to take place,” Maddon said of Anderson tossing up and in Trout. “You cant. You can not. People get hurt like that. And again, theres an anomaly moment that itll occur as soon as in a while. I get it. I get it. It happens to everybody. But too frequently, bad. Didnt like it.”
