Game 45 Thread: May 15 @ Angels, 6.30p

Actually, Snellzilla is more toothless than this.

Blake Snell (0-1, 12.00) vs. Jack Kochanowicz (2-2, 3.97).

Maybe forgoing that minor league rehab stint in Ontario, to instead face one of the best teams in the majors, was not a great idea for Blake Snell last outing. The Dodgers' PR department did its best to try and put lipstick on this baby dinosaur ("Snell averaged 95.9mph with his fastball, up from 95.1mph last year"), but the truth of the matter was, Blake Snell sucked against the Braves: 3.0 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB and 5 Ks.

That's not a "mixed bag". That's a steaming pile of shit from the 5-year, $182M man who has only given the Dodgers 12 regular season games, a quarter of the way through his excessive contract.

Tonight, Snell gets the punching bag that is the Angels, 16-28 and in last place in the AL West. If Snell can't succeed in these conditions, there's no place to hide.

UPDATE: What a surprise, Snell has been scratched.

David Vassegh is probably weeping somewhere that he can’t glaze Snell
