PT TOMORROW: AL West—Mysteries without any clues
Apr 28 2014
For the fourth time since being acquired by the Angels in early 2012, Ernesto Frieri (RHP, LAA), is out as LAA closer. As in the past, Frieri has gone through a week-plus stretch during which he has been unable to locate his fastball, a predicament compounded by opposing hitters siting on a pitch that he throws more than 80% of the time.
