It has been a rough couple of days for Los Angeles Angels’ Matt Shoemaker. The team officially announced that the pitcher has been demoted to the team’s Triple-A affiliate.

It made sense for the team as Matt Shoemaker was pitching minor-league numbers. He started his career in 2014 where he posted with a 3.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 124/24 K/BB ratio in 136 innings, and it was thought that he was in way over his head.

NBCSports.com reported the following:

“….after allowing six earned runs over just 1 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Royals. The 28-year-old right-hander has a rough 4.76 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 105/30 K/BB ratio in 117 1/3 total frames this season at the major league level.”

The LA Times reported:

By the time Matt Shoemaker’s nightmare of a second inning ended, the Angels right-hander threw 34 pitches to 10 batters and retired two of them, one on a sacrifice bunt. The Royals scored six runs on six hits, their second-round knockout of Shoemaker leading to a 9-4 victory in Kauffman Stadium.

“I can’t even describe how frustrating it was,” Shoemaker said. “It seemed like not one thing could go right. I was just trying to throw a quality pitch, get a guy out. No matter what I threw, they were hitting it.”

In two career starts in Kansas City, Shoemaker has been tagged for 14 runs and 18 hits in 5 2/3 innings. He thinks that has more to do with the Royals “being a really good team” than him being uncomfortable on the mound.
