Gameday Thread: Angels vs Brewers 3/19/2016

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Holy shit, Pujols.

2 HRs in the same inning for Albert.

[tdawg87]

Meh. Wake me up when he does that in a game that matters.

Meh. Wake me up when he does that in game 7 of the World Series.

With Pujols' contract the Angels should easily win the WS in 4 games.

[Glen]

At the risk of a whammy, Salas is looking solid.  He could very well be our 7th inning guy.

[Stradling]

Arte certainly has done his part

[Glen]

I want Glen to watch more Angels games this season. 

 

...says nobody during the regular season.

[Glen]

Escobar is certainly looking like the leadoff hitter we've been looking for for a few years.

Lodge is offering as much insight into this game as the brick wall behind me.

I'd say Go Halos! but they've been going well for a couple of hours already. Just finished a fantasy draft in with every mute button on. I got my Trout in a prospect draft six years ago and kept me some Kole and GR. And picked up a Heaney today.

[Glen]

Baldoquin might actually turn into something good.

[totdprods]

Baldoquin is looking great. 

14 unanswered runs always is a good sign, even if it's just spring training.

[eligrba4ever]

Baldoquin thinking two all the way. Good mindset. My MLB.TV is a few plays behind the live look-in MLB Network was showing. Brewers are looking pretty sad at this point. 15-5.

[eligrba4ever]

Looks like it won't be a tie today.

[Oz27]

Baldoquin has looked pretty solid defensively too, as well as being productive at the plate. Given how bad the reports of him with the glove were last year that is encouraging.

Remember the thread about how bad the trade for Gott was for the Angels. Good times!

[Blarg]

I left the house for my daily walk and the score was 5-1 Brewers up, Maya looking bad. By the time I get home it is 15-5. Shouldn't have stopped to talk to the neighbors.

There's nothing like spring training to prove the value of a trade.

[eligrba4ever]

Nieuwenhuis? Blast from the Angels' past.

[eligrba4ever]

Where, oh where, is that final out? 15-7.

[eligrba4ever]

Light up whatever they light up at Tempe!! Just another Halos victory.

Escobar is definitely looking good.

Escobar is the lead off batter the Angels have desperately needed for a long time. Gott is at best going to be an average relief pitcher and wasn't very good in his mlb appearances last year.

The guy is a established ML player ... you can stop any time. You're the joker that was calling the Simmons trade the worst in Angels history. Lol

It is spring training. Using spring training performances as proof of anything is just absurd. Good hitters suck and bad hitters do well in spring training all the time and it is the same with pitchers. Vernon Wells made spring training appearances for the Angels in 2011, 2012 and 2013, averaging .277, .277 and .361 in those years.
