Gameday: 2/26 Angels @ Padres - Ohtani makes hitting debut

[Make Angels Great Again]

Skaggs is looking awesome so far. Finishing his pitches really well, working quickly.

Skaggs Looking Good

[Chuck]

Skaggs looked great.

Two things:

Stay healthy

Get ahead in the count.

If those two things happens, Skaggs finally breaks out for us this season. 

[Glen]

Blash not blashing it.

 Bill Plaschke was already calling him a flop after 1 inning, and I feel like people kept forgetting that its spring training, and he is adjusting to a new league. 

Plaschke is an idiot who writes every column like he's doing hot takes with Max Kellerman

[Aaronkv]

Oh no! He's a bust too!

well in other news King Felix got hit in the arm with a line drive.

[bloodbrother]

skaggs fastball, good velocity for a LHP, still a very hittable pitch

[fan_since79]

A couple of meatballs, and he's gone.

As long as his arm is okay, I'm happy.

Starters giving up lots of homers 

[Chuck]

To be fair, Skaggs struck out the batter before. This homeplate ump blows. 

[Stradling]

Scioscia gonna Get fired again?

[bloodbrother]

Excited to see Barria pitch today

[red321]

Did Skaggs really get thrown off by a bad ball/strike call in Spring Training? Damn dude.

These guys are way too sensitive.

I was just reading that Stan Musial never argued with an umpire in his 23 years in the majors. Not once. He ended up getting a lot of calls go his way, as the umpires appreciated his even demeanor and the respect he gave them.

[eligrba4ever]

Tyler's initial spring ERA at 20.25. Nowhere to go but down? Certainly hope so.

No marine layer.

[bloodbrother]

Ohtani will never need to swing the bat. Pitchers are afraid to pitch to him

[Second Base]

Ok that was a weird slide. Maybe running the bases was a bad idea.

I only caught the tail end, it looked like he almost slid in on his ass? I mean...it worked...and as long as he isn't sliding hands first, and as long as he isn't getting thrown out, I think I'm fine with it...

[eligrba4ever]

Felix got hit hard on his pitching hand by a ball in the first. In visible pain and left the game. Wonder if Jerry is worried?
