Somebody asked Bobby Wilsonif he knew what the Angels' record was when he started behind the plate.
"I don't want to know," Wilson said. "I just want to keep winning and keep bringing the ERA down."
Let's hope Wilson's not reading this, because here it is: 10-1.
Angels pitchers have performed best when Wilson is behind the plate. His catcher's ERA is easily the best on the team at 2.62. Granted, it's a small sample size, but the pitchers who have thrown to Wilson gush about his ability to call and frame pitches.
Don't be surprised to see Wilson behind the plate the next time Jered Weaver starts, this weekend against Colorado. Their chemistry has been ridiculous. Weaver has pitched 14 innings without allowing an earned run and has struck out 17 while allowing just five hits while throwing to Wilson.

Mark Saxon has been writing almost daily about the Angels since 2003, shortly after Arte Moreno bought the team. He once covered three Angels playoff games in three nights in three different cities (New York, Anaheim and Chicago, in that order). He'll be feeding all the news that's not fit for his columns and news stories into this blog, plus some off-the-wall stuff that needs to be seen, heard and touched. To make it a more vibrant gathering place, be sure to comment frequently. Let's make it a lively conversation.
