CLEVELAND -- Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia says Jordan Walden
has been moved out of the closers role and will be replaced by
Scott Downs. Ravens Hats
.
Walden blew the save in Thursdays loss 4-3 to Tampa Bay when he allowed a
two-run, game-ending home run to Brandon Allen.
Walden has converted one of two save chances this season. The
right-hander is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA in six appearances.
Scioscia made the announcement before Friday nights game at Cleveland.
He said Walden will be used earlier in games but wasnt specific about
his role.
"Well give Jordan some innings where he can work on some things,"
Scioscia said. "Hopefully, it should be a quick fix for Jordan. Its
tough to experiment in the ninth inning of a game when youre trying to
save it. Most of this is putting him in a situation where he can still
help our bullpen, but be able to throw some pitches where maybe the
games not going to be won or lost and have more of a practice platform
to get his game where it needs to be."
Walden converted 32 of 42 save chances last season as a rookie. He was
5-5 with a 2.98 ERA and struck out 67 in 60 1-3 innings.
"When he gets his stuff right, it plays in the closers spot," Scioscia
said. "He needs to get it right first and thats what hes going to work
towards. For stretches last year, he pitched great baseball for us. He
showed he had the stuff to pitch at the back end of games, but he showed
the mentality last year. I dont think this has anything to do with
makeup as much it does with repeating a pitch and being able to get a
breaking ball thats consistent."
Scioscia says Walden needs to work on his command and getting ahead of
hitters. In 4 1-3 innings, Walden has struck out six, walked four and
allowed five hits.
"Any pitcher, even one that throws 98 (mph), he needs to control counts
and at times Jordan has had a little problem with that," Scioscia said.
Downs, a left-hander, has pitched seven scoreless innings with no
record, but the bullpen overall has struggled. Going into Friday, the
relievers had converted one of six chances and had an 0-5 record with a
4.96 ERA.
"Were trying to define some roles down there," Scioscia said. "Well put
Scott back in the closers roles right now and match up how we can."
The Angels, who added slugger Albert Pujols and rotation left-hander
C.J. Wilson as free agentsin the off-season, began the night 6-13 and
last in the AL West.

NEW YORK -- Stop the flop.
The NBA will penalize floppers this season, fining players for repeated
violations of an act a league official said Wednesday has "no place in
our game."
Those exaggerated falls to the floor may fool the referees and fans
during the game, but officials at league headquarters plan to take a
look for themselves afterward.
Players will get a warning the first time, then be fined $5,000 for a
second violation. The fines increase to $10,000 for a third offence,
$15,000 for a fourth and $30,000 the fifth time. Six or more could lead
to a suspension.
"Flops have no place in our game --they either fool referees into
calling undeserved fouls or fool fans into thinking the referees missed a
foul call," vice-president of basketball operations Stu Jackson said in
a statement. "Accordingly, both the Board of Governors and the
competition committee felt strongly that any player who the league
determines, following video review, to have committed a flop should --
after a warning -- be given an automatic penalty."
The players association plans to file a grievance with the league office
and an unfair labour practice charge with the National Labor Relations
Board, arguing that it should have been consulted first before the new
rules were implemented.
"The NBA is not permitted to unilaterally impose new economic discipline
against the players without first bargaining with the union," union
executive director Billy Hunter said. "We believe that any monetary
penalty for an act of this type is inappropriate and without precedent
in our sport or any other sport. We will bring appropriate legal action
to challenge what is clearly a vague and arbitrary overreaction and
overreach by the commissioners office."
However, a number of players expressed support for the policy. Lakers
star Kobe Bryant said he hopes it has an impact on the game.
"I like the rule," he said. "Shameless flopping, thats a chump move.
Were familiar with it. Vlade (Divac) kind of pioneered it in that
playoff series against Shaq, and it kind of worked for him."
Players cautioned that it would be difficult to completely eliminate
flopping, but welcomed the attempt to try.
"Its good. Guys cant be flopping and get away with it anymore," Oklahoma
City guard James Harden said. "It was bound to happen at some point.
Obviously, the league got fed up with it and they put it in. Im happy
they did."
The NBA said flopping will be defined as "any physical act that appears
to have been intended to cause the referees to call a foul on another
player."
"The primary factor in determining whether a player committed a flop is
whether his physical reaction to contact with another player is
inconsistent with what would reasonably be expected given the force or
direction of the contact," the league said. Jacoby Jones Womens Jersey.
Commissioner David Stern has long sought to end flopping, believing it
tricks the referees. But the league determined it would be too difficult
for refs to make the call on the floor, preferring instead to leave it
to league office reviews.
And it says that is within its rights.
"Although we havent seen any filing from the Players Association, our
adoption of an anti-flopping rule is fully consistent with our rights
and obligations under the collective bargaining agreement and the law,"
NBA spokesman Tim Frank said.
Jacksons department already reviews flagrant foul penalties to determine
if they should be upgraded or downgraded.
"Im all on board for it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I think it
needs to be addressed. I think the steps theyre taking right now, I
think will benefit the game. I do. It remains to be seen if it truly has
an impact. But I think its a step in the right direction.
"Its not good for the game; nobody likes the flop. A majority of coaches
dont like the flop, particularly if youre trying to build a solid
defence."
Rasheed Wallace raged against it for years, picking up quite of a few of
his 308 technical fouls for arguing that he was called for a foul
because a player flopped. After ending a two-year retirement to join the
New York Knicks, he said certain unnamed players were going to be in
trouble and agreed penalties needed to be enforced.
"Hey, you all thought I was crazy for saying it over the last so-and-so
years. I aint even gonna get into it, but yes," he said. "They needed to
bend on that."
The blame for the rise in flopping is often aimed at the international
players, such as Divac, who came to the NBA after growing up watching
soccer, where falling down in hopes of drawing a foul is part of the
game. Denvers Danilo Gallinari, an Italian, believes thats unfair.
"I dont know why everybody just talks about European flopping," he said.
"I dont know where this thing comes from. We flop as much as other
players all around the world flop. I dont know why everybody keeps
saying that Europeans are soft or Europeans flops. I dont know."
Clevelands Anderson Varejao is a renowned flopper, once one of the
targets of Wallaces wrath. But he said hes a changed man now.
"Im not flopping anymore," he said Monday with a smile. "I used to flop a
little bit."
The league said it will announce a separate set of flopping penalties
for the playoffs at a later date.
