Player Notes

October 5, 2008
Joe Saunders allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while lasting just 4.2 innings in a no-decision in Game 3 against the Red Sox.

Our View:While the line looks poor, three runs scored on a catchable ball that dropped between Howie Kendrick and Torii Hunter in an embarrassing display of defense. Saunders deserved better than he got on this night.

September 28, 2008
Joe Saunders was impressive in his final start of a nice season. He struck out nine batters in six innings of work. He allowed no runs and just two baserunners.

Our View:Saunders went 17-7 for the playoff-bound Angels in 2008. He with a 3.41 ERA but just 103 strikeouts in 198 innings.

September 25, 2008
Angels hurler Joe Saunders has finally passed his kidney stones and will make the start for the team in their final regular season game on Sunday, according to the L.A. Times.

Our View:Saunders will throw a bullpen session to get ready for the start, and is still in line for Game 3 of the ALDS.

September 23, 2008
Kidney stones are still plaguing Angels hurler Joe Saunders, who had yet to pass them Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Hopefully, Saunders gets through this extremely unpleasant experience as soon as possible - for his and the team's benefit. He is scheduled to throw on Sunday in the team's final game if all is well at that time.

September 21, 2008
Joe Saunders will not make his next scheduled start due to kidney stones, but the club hopes that he will be able to start next Sunday in their regular season finale, according to the Los Angeles Times. "We're going to hold him off and not pitch him just for the fact of we don't know where his condition is going to be," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're anticipating he's going to be fine in a day or two..."

Our View:Saunders already has 16 victories to go along with a 3.52 ERA, and one more tune up before the playoffs seems apropos for Saunders and the Angels.
