GDT and Lineups 3/15 @ Rockies. The Ides of March

[Homebrewer]

Albert 3-3 all singles...(I know one was ruled an error, but it was hammered)

Nice!

[Stradling]

Anybody see the super slow motion swing for Trout?

That was picture perfect.

Yea, he actually jammed himself.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The Angels and Rockies both choked in the 10th inning. The game ended in a 4-4 tie.

[jshep]

That was the most exciting tie in an exhibition game against the Rockies I have seen this year.

[EDinTUSTIN]

Trout 2 run bomb to dead center.

430 ft?

Angels lead.

That ball was truly crushed. Wow, he is some kind of strong!

[EDinTUSTIN]

Holy shit, Trout was actually jammed on that and hit it 430 feet. That is just dumb.

That is unreal, Strad. That kid has some extremely strong wrists. Can you imagine if he had his usual short, smooth swing? That ball would be landing in the Sea of Tranquility in a few hours. LOL

[EDinTUSTIN]

That Matt Long HR was incredibly wind aided, but I will take it. Now the Trout HR was just an absolute blast.

Matt Long sure is showing himself impressively. I sure wish ST would hurry by so we could get this season started.

Long has significantly more upside than Shuck.  Even with Scioscia's affinity for marginally talented "scrappy" types, it's really hard to ignore what Long's done so far and I hope that he has a real shot at snatching that 4th OF spot from a guy who had a full season to demonstrate he's a replacement level player with no power or plate discipline.
