Gameday & Lineup 3/19 vs. White Sox

[Diaz15]

Do any Angels hitters (not named Trout) have more than one HR yet?

 Cowgill also has 2

[Richard]

Iannetta K

 

Aybar up

[Mark68]

Oops.

[Mark68]

And Aybar with the squeeze.

 

Didn't see that coming...

[Richard]

E-2 and a SQUEEZE
 

 

3-0 Angels

[Glen]

"Giminez did what he was supposed to."  WTF?

[Mark68]

Good situational hitting. I see the touch of Baylor.

[Blarg]

Perfection by Aybar.

[Richard]

And Aybar with the squeeze.

 

Didn't see that coming...

Don't you dare sir..

[Blarg]

"Giminez did what he was supposed to."  WTF?

 

Yeah, that made me laugh. Then on the replay it was like Hawk was talking to a radio audience that couldn't see the ball wasn't just a little high, it was way high and way off line.

[Stradling]

I'm shocked the vent thread didn't blow up with the squeeze play.

[Homebrewer]

Love the squeeze play in the 2nd inning.

[Blarg]

I'm shocked the vent thread didn't blow up with the squeeze play.

 

It would have if Aybar had pulled the bat back and left Ibanez hanging like Willits in the breeze.

[Stradling]

If it works I'm ok with it. Let's say this was game five of the regular season. Wouldn't you like to give the kid a 3 run lead to work with early in the game?

[Mark68]

That was a nasty curve. Location was perfect.

[Mark68]

I like Skaggs. He could be our best pitcher this year.

[19HALO71]

I like small ball. I would rather him squeeze than leave a runner at third, well done!!!

[tdawg87]

I like Skaggs. He could be our best pitcher this year.

He has the best stuff on the team, outside of maybe Richards. I think he will have a breakout year like Gio Gonzalez did in his first full season. They have similar projectibility.

Alden Gonzalez â€@Alden_Gonzalez  25m

Mike Trout hit in left wrist with a first-pitch breaking ball. Clearly upset, but stays in. Second time he's been hit this spring (back).

[Mark68]

There's the Albert we all know.

[Sherlock31]

I like Skaggs. He could be our best pitcher this year.

 

Ya, for 4 innings every 5 days, he got the stuff, but he throws way too many pitches.

[Richard]

Albert RBI Double

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Yay Albert, nice oppo-taquito (not quite a taco)

[Richard]

Hamilton moving pujols over to 3rd.

I would rather have a chance at a big inning and give him 4 or 5 runs.

That being said, this is spring training. If Aybar gets the chance to work on the squeeze then Mike should take it. Ideally the squeeze won't be used except in tight games late in the game. But those situations will come up so practice them now.
