LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers have recovered from jet lag caused by opening the regular season in South Korea. They hope to move past the whiplash from allegations involving illegal gambling and theft surrounding two-way star Shohei Ohtani and his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, just as quickly. Ohtani is scheduled to speak to reporters on Monday, which will be his first public remarks since Mizuhara was fired on Wednesday for allegedly betting on sports through an illegal bookmaker. “I think it’s good,” manager Dave Roberts said. “I think it’s the right thing to do, and I’m happy he’s going to speak and speak to what he knows and give his thoughts on the whole situati…

We may need a stickied Ohtani-centric thread. I like this one: Ohtani currently leads the majors in Power/Speed, which is the harmonic mean of HR and SB. With 7.2 through 27 games he's on pace for 43.2, which is just below the record (A-Rod in 1998 with 43.91). I don't expect him to match that, but still very impressive. Only A-Rod, Alfonso Soriano, Eric Davis (twice), Rickey Henderson, Jose Canseco, Bobby Bonds, and Barry Bonds (twice) have surpassed 40 P/S. Trout's best was in 2012 with 37.22, which is 26nd best all-time. He's also got a few season in the 116-121 range and has the highest total among active major leaguers (243.57), which is 59th all-time.…

THE GAME: The Angels blanked the Chicago White Sox, 2-0, in the final home game of the Arizona portion of spring training on Friday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz. PITCHING REPORT: Right-hander José Soriano pitched six innings, against a split squad that did not include any of the White Sox’s projected starters. Soriano struck out eight and walked none. He threw 71 pitches, including 54 strikes. He did not have a three-ball count. “That was outstanding,” Manager Ron Washington said. “That had to be the best outing in all of spring training. To throw 71 pitches in six innings and no walks, you just don’t see that that often.” The Angels have not said if they plan to have Sorian…

MESA, Ariz. — The Angels packed up this week from just the kind of spring training that a general manager enjoys. An uneventful one. With many of the regulars having left for Southern California a day earlier to prepare for the Freeway Series, which begins Sunday at Dodger Stadium, the Angels prepared for their final game in Arizona on Saturday. It was the culmination of 39 days with plenty of good vibes under new manager Ron Washington and little news. The most significant injury was right-hander Robert Stephenson’s shoulder inflammation. Stephenson will begin the season on the injured list, but there’s no timetable beyond that. The biggest headlines belonged to Anth…

TEMPE, Ariz. — When Barry Enright came to Angel Stadium last year as the Arizona Diamondbacks’ assistant pitching coach, he was surprised to see the scoreboard showed not only pitch velocity, but vertical and horizontal movement. Enright put that on the list of changes he planned after he was hired as the Angels’ pitching coach. “You’re not going to see those metrics on the board any more,” Enright said, referring to the movement numbers. “If you’re looking up there and all of the sudden you say, ‘Oh, my curveball doesn’t have the same depth today,’ you’re chasing a metric instead of chasing outs.” The Angels have been trying to find the answers to their pitching woes …

TEMPE, Ariz. — The bombshell story about Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter came as a surprise to those in the Angels clubhouse. The Angels, who had an off day Thursday, reconvened as a group Friday morning for the first time since the news broke Wednesday afternoon about Ohtani and interpreter Ippei Mizuhara being connected to a federal investigation involving sports gambling. Mizuhara initially told ESPN that Ohtani paid $4.5 million to cover his gambling losses, and then the story changed and Ohtani’s representatives claimed Mizuhara stole the money. “Shocked as anyone,” Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak said. “Definitely had no inclination and information that would lead to…

Joe Maddon was complaining in his book about Alex Tamin’s bullpen usage algorithm, but the data shows that Angels’ relievers were healthier in 2021 and 2022 using Tamin’s algorithm than they were in 2020 when they weren’t using Tamin’s algorithm: Year RP's Days on IL MLB Rank 2022 280 26 2021 292 29 2020 179 12 *2020 was the 60-game season, hence the lower # of days. 26th means 25 teams had more RP’s days on IL than the Angels, 29th means 28 teams had more RP’s days on IL than the Angels, etc.* For reference, this is what Ma…

TEMPE, Ariz. — In the end, the Angels came to a decision that seemed obvious a month ago. Patrick Sandoval will be their Opening Day starter. Sandoval, a 27-year-old left-hander who has started 84 games for the Angels over parts of the past five seasons, officially got the nod to start the March 28 opener at Baltimore on Tuesday. “Really cool,” Sandoval said. “It’s a huge honor, obviously. Something you dream of as a kid growing up, being an Opening Day starter. I get to do it for my hometown team. It’s pretty cool.” A product of Mission Viejo High, Sandoval was acquired by the Angels in a July 2018 trade with the Houston Astros. He reached the big leagues in 2019. S…

Has anyone seen Trout hit that high fastball yet? Getting kind of worried. Looks like he may have to start cheating and commit earlier. That grand slam was a tailor made breaking pitch for Trout's wheelhouse.

Ryan Falla, AngelsWin.com Staff Reporter It appears fortunes are changing in Anaheim. Where once was an organization laid bare of any internal development is now an Angels future full of the most young promise they've had since their glory days of fifteen years past. Whereas that legacy run was fueled by homegrown talents so too does this window look to be forced open by the quality of youth across the organization. This years Spring Training has offered a glimpse into the star studded future of 2025 and beyond with certain showcased talents making their names present such as Nelson Rada and Caden Dana among others. Among those hopeful cornerstones is the Angels…

TEMPE, Ariz. — With just over a week to go before Opening Day, Ron Washington still isn’t sure what he wants to do about the leadoff spot. The uncertainty pushed the Angels manager to try Anthony Rendon batting first for Wednesday’s exhibition game. “Just trying to find some things with the lineup,” Washington said. “I stayed status quo with the lineup throughout the spring and, to be honest with you, I wasn’t impressed with the top of it, the way it was working, so I wanted to try something else.” Washington said he wanted to try Rendon because he knew he would have a quality at-bat, including seeing more pitches. Rendon has a career .367 on-base percentage. Even in …

THE GAME: The Angels lost, 5-2, to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz. The Angels did not have several of their regulars in the lineup, because they were set to play with the other part of the split-squad, on Wednesday night against the Kansas City Royals in Surprise. PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Tyler Anderson gave up one run in 4⅔ innings. Anderson was one out from getting through five scoreless innings when he gave up a run-scoring double to Jung Hoo Lee. Anderson struck out six and walked one. Anderson has 20 strikeouts and three walks in 16⅔ innings this spring. … Left-hander Drew Pomeranz pitched 1⅓ scoreless innings. Pomeranz, who is co…

By STEFANIE DAZIO, RONALD BLUM and BETH HARRIS LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter and close friend has been fired by the Los Angeles Dodgers following allegations of illegal gambling and theft from the Japanese baseball star. Interpreter Ippei Mizuhara was let go from the team Wednesday following reports from The Los Angeles Times and ESPN about his alleged ties to an illegal bookmaker. The team is in South Korea this week as Ohtani makes his Dodgers debut. “In the course of responding to recent media inquiries, we discovered that Shohei has been the victim of a massive theft and we are turning the matter over to the authorities,” law firm Berk Brettler LLP…

TEMPE, Ariz. — Earlier this spring, Taylor Ward was at the plate when a fastball came at him, up and in. He moved out of the way without incident. The next pitch was also up and in. He admitted that he “couldn’t get back in the right mindset after that,” and he eventually struck out on a slider over the middle. “That at-bat made me wonder,” Ward said. “What are we doing here? I learned from that moment. That’s what I have to get used to.” Ward missed the last two months of last season recovering from facial fractures suffered when he was hit in the face by a pitch. He hadn’t seen any live pitching in the six months between that incident and the start of spring training…

THE GAME: Zach Neto and Aaron Hicks homered in the Angels’ 10-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz. PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Reid Detmers gave up one run in 4⅔ innings, on 81 pitches. In the first inning, Detmers got a strikeout when Will Benson was called for a timer violation with two strikes. Detmers also walked two in the inning. Detmers did not issue another walk, although he hit a batter. He struck out seven. “He was outstanding,” Manager Ron Washington said. “He didn’t have a whole lot of command of his fastball the way he would have liked to, but he was able to use his offspeed pitches, and then he was able to spot some fastb…

The last 2 seasons showed an upward trend in "butts in the seats". Arte is banking on this trend to continue despite a marquee off season over pay. If Arte can pull it off during a rebuild it will validate the "best trade is sometimes the one you don't make" mentality. On the other hand, a regression to 2021 levels may be the more likely scenario. in addition, Vegas has the Halos pegged for a 72.5 win season which would be their worst full season since 2019. It will take a gritty effort combined with a relatively healthy year to exceed expectations. But stranger things have happened. We will see what the first 20 brings. 4-16…

THE GAME: The Angels lost, 4-3, to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday in Phoenix, dropping their sixth consecutive Cactus League game. PITCHING REPORT: Right-hander Griffin Canning gave up two runs in 4⅓ innings. He worked around six hits, striking out two and walking one. One run scored when Christian Yelich hit a chopper over the head of first baseman Miguel Sanó, who was holding a runner at first. It went for a double. The other run came on a long homer by Yelich. … Right-hander Hunter Strickland allowed a two-run homer to Willie Adames, snapping a tie in the fifth. The homer came on an 0-and-2 pitch. Strickland, who is competing for a bullpen spot, has been among the An…
