Major League Baseball season
Major League Baseball team season
The 2011 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim season was the franchise's 51st season and 46th in Anaheim . The Angels began the season following a disappointing 2010 campaign where they missed the postseason for the first time since 2006, after winning the American League West three times in a row from 2007 to 2009. During the 2011 season, the Angels celebrated the franchise's 50th anniversary (while the team was created on December 6, 1960, the Angels decided to honor the 50th after 2010 ended). Marking the occasion for the "golden Anniversary" was the adding of gold trim was to the uniforms including the halo on both the cap and uniform (the halo from 1993 to 1996, 2002β2010 was silver and gold prior to that). On June 14, they beat the Seattle Mariners 4-0 to earn their 4,000th win in team history. The season saw the debut of Mike Trout , who made his major league debut on July 8, 2011. Although he batted .220 during his brief time on the year, he would be back the following season as the regular fielder for the team.
2010β11 offseason
After an incredibly disappointing 2010 season, the Angels' priority in the offseason was to fix what went horribly wrong so the team can return to the postseason in 2011. Owner Arte Moreno has gone on record saying that money will not be an issue, and that he is willing to spend as much as possible to put a winning product on the field. Going into the offseason, the Angels had both Hideki Matsui and Scot Shields eligible for free agency with Kendrys Morales , Jered Weaver , Erick Aybar , Howie Kendrick , Kevin Frandsen , Alberto Callaspo , Reggie Willits , and Mike Napoli being arbitration eligible. As of December 3, 2010, the Angels have declined to offer Matsui arbitration, tendered contracts to Morales, Weaver, Aybar, Kendrick, Callaspo, Willits, and Napoli. The Angels also declined to tender a contract to Frandsen, who would become a free agent, and Shields, who would retire from baseball.
The Angels expressed interest in Rays outfielder Carl Crawford , Red Sox third baseman AdriΓ‘n BeltrΓ© , Rays closer Rafael Soriano , Phillies outfielder Jayson Werth , and were considered a wildcard in the Cliff Lee sweepstakes. On December 2, 2010, the Angels signed former Mets reliever Hisanori Takahashi in their first move of the offseason. then signed Blue Jays reliever Scott Downs, and also acquired outfielder Vernon Wells from Toronto in exchange for outfielder Juan Rivera and catcher Mike Napoli.
Regular season
See the game log below for detailed game-by-game regular season information.
The season for the Angels began Thursday, March 31 with a road game against Kansas City . Their first home game was Friday, April 8 against Toronto . Their longest homestand will be from June 27 β July 10 (13 home games), and their longest road trip will be June 13β26 (12 road games). Their final game of the regular season will be on Wednesday, September 28 at home against Rangers .
March/April
After winning the first game of the season against Kansas City, the Angels stumbled dropping their next three games against that same Royals team. The Halos led at one point in each of those three losses and the suspect bullpen was a large reason why they dropped those three in a row. After the Kansas City series, manager Mike Scioscia shook up the bullpen by demoting Fernando Rodney from the closer's role and giving Jordan Walden that position. The Angels proceeded to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg and win and go 4β2 on their opening homestand against the Blue Jays and Indians. The Angels winning ways continued into their second road trip of the season sweeping the Chicago White Sox and taking 2 of 3 from division rival Texas and taking sole control of first in the American League West. However, the Angels hit a wall when they returned home to Angel Stadium being swept by arch-rival Boston in a four-game series and only scoring a total of five runs over that four game stretch. Texas, in the meantime took back the top spot in the AL West. After their abysmal showing against Boston, the Angels rebounded slightly by taking 2 of 3 from division rival Oakland finishing out the homestand 2β5. Going back to Tampa Bay, the Angels took the series 2β1 only losing the second game of the series on a wild pitch by relief pitcher Fernando Rodney in the 10th inning. The second game of the series also featured Joel PiΓ±eiro's first start of the season where he only gave up one run over 7 innings pitched.
May
The Angels started out the month of May by finishing off a series with Tampa Bay that they won 2β1. After that series, the Angels flew to Boston to take on the team that swept them in Anaheim just a week prior. The Halos ended up dropping the first two games of that series, but ended up winning the third game of the series in a marathon 13 inning game that lasted 7 hours and 35 minutes thanks to a 2-hour and 35 minute rain delay. In the fourth game, the Angels pounded out 8 runs off of their former ace John Lackey and ended up winning the game 11β0 to earn the series split 2β2. Returning home to Anaheim where the Angels had a 6β7 mark, they were to face the red-hot Cleveland Indians in a three-game series. They won the first game in extra innings behind an excellent outing by rookie Tyler Chatwood and the bullpen, however the Angels then proceeded to drop the second game of the series. They did win the rubber game of the series on Mother's Day in a game that saw the lead change many times. The win against the Indians on May 8, marked manager Mike Scioscia's 1,000th career victory (all of which were with the Angels).
