Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Giants - THE FIRST SPRING TRAINING GAME OF 2016

[rick99gtp]

4 pitches...is that right?  Out, out, single out?

[Angelsfirst]

Pumped just to see Angels baseball!

[ELEVEN]

Where's the Vent thread?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Angels take a 1- 0 lead in game 1 of the spring.

[Chuck]

Choi in his first at bat got a hit! 

 

Gentry & Cunningham with walks, Carlos Perez with a double. 1-0 Angels.

 

Santiago with two scoreless innings.

this same question is asked every ST. Pay no attention to the MLB Gameday pitch counts during spring. They don't really update it and it's basically only one pitch per AB.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cron doubles to the opposite field in his second AB. He had a nice easy swing lining the ball down the right field line.

Nice to see Shoe in 2015 form already.

Choi swung at ball 4 but they had the hit and run on with Pennington so he gets some slack on that one. 

[LBHalos17]

YES!  Angels baseball is back on the air!

As always, I'm very excited at the prospects of a new season... But, I'm afraid they will either be really bad or shock the Division. I'll be rooting for the shocker at ST and Opening Day!

Another round of beers and dogs!  Cheers!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Shoemaker and his beard take to the mound in the third. And right away he gives up a HR on his second pitch. That's the Shoe I remember from last year.

Who the heck is Ortega?

Who the heck is Ortega?

[Angel Oracle]

Same ol' 2015 Shoe

[jgimondo]

Nice to see Shoemaker is already in midseason form!

[AngelsLakersFan]

Grant Green looks like he's gotten in shape this off season. Maybe he's finally decided to make an effort and take his career seriously?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Same ol' 2015 Shoe

Same ol' Cam Bedrock

[Chuck]

Same ol' Cam Bedrock

 

Yep. Looks good for a couple batters, unravels, loses control. 

[daygloman]

Bedrock!!!! 4-1 Giants.

[Chuck]

It's too bad he cannot mow down major leaguers the way he did while in the minors. 

[marcosantinia12]

Quick observations : Choi's swing from the left hand side looks very nice and smooth. He looks ugly from the right hand side. Sample size of course, just an observation.

[Glen]

Terry Smith just compared Taylor Ward to Mathis

[WeatherWonk]

In Shoemaker's defense, he did strike out 3 of his last 4 batters.

Was only a matter of time.

Looks like the Angels got one hit after the 3rd inning. It will be nice to see more regulars in there. Hope the results are different.
