1979 Angels Week 21: Great offense, terrible pitching

It was a roller coaster of emotions for the 1979 Angels last week, as they dropped both series, including on the road to the lowly Blue Jays. The Angels also set a franchise record (that still stands in 2020, by the way) for runs scored in a game.

But even with their 24-2 win in Toronto on Saturday, the Angels did not have a positive run differential for the week.

The rotation was atrocious last week, with Angels starters allowing five or more runs in five of the six games. In total, the group allowed 30 runs in 34 innings, including Nolan Ryan giving up 11 runs in 8u2153 innings in his two starts, both losses.
