Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Mariners

[Spirit]

Bomb sauce! 

[Chimi]

Scioscia is probably taking Conger to the side to explain to him it's early in spring and he should have laid down the bunt.

[Chimi]

Aybar showing his leadership abilities giving Jimenez his glasses.

[stevestevens]

Bonderman out already.  I will never forget when DMac hit that HR off of Bonderman and we thought that was a sign of things to come.  Turns out both their careers went spiraling downward pretty quickly. 

[stevestevens]

Bomb sauce! 

 

Nice!  We really need those in the shoutbox though.  That way everyone that is on the board will know that someone has gone deep.  Even the guys in the meat locker 2.0 deserve to know when someone goes yard. 

[stevestevens]

Luis is not having a great game so far, error and GIDP.

 

It has got to be nerve racking out there when there is a possibility that you could snatch the 25th spot.

Calhoun needs to prove that he can play 1B

That is weird, why are they working him at 1b?  you think with Pujols and Trumbo, there won't be any need for a 1b for awhile.

[Sciosciapath]

Not Grant Napear
‏Mike Trout is now 1 for 1 in spring training. His batting average matches his weight: 1000

In case Albert isn't ready for the start of the year... Let the speculation begin!

Scioscia likes carrying guys that can play 8,000 positions.  The endless possibilities get him excited. 

[Chimi]

He'll probably have Calhoun playing SS when Aybar goes to the WBC.

[stevestevens]

Trout is in a sophomore slump. 

[AngelsandChiefs25]

Petey with another walk.

[Spirit]

Bourjesus is a "Getting On Base" machine this spring!

 

This!

[fan_since79]

Two walks for Bourjos already!

[stormngt]

Why doesn't Sosh have Bourjos working on his steals?  There are two outs in a spring league game.  Now would be the time to work on them!

[Chimi]

I look forward to watching Trout and Bourjos run together on the base paths this season.

[fan_since79]

Two bases for Petey on a wild pitch!

[AngelsandChiefs25]

Wow a hr to Brendan Ryan.

[fan_since79]

Cordero settled down nicely after the leadoff HR.

[AngelsandChiefs25]

Nice bounce back from Chad after the hr.

[Richard]

First game in years, hopefully he begins to settle and shakes the nerves and cobwebs off. 

[Chimi]

Conger with a HR and Double so far today.

[Wallerrrr]

gotta say, loving the plate discipline by PB today
