Glad Terry is now filling us all in on the geography of small towns in Arizona where marginal players live.

Moved on long ago. 80s One-Hit Wonders tonight.

Lot of funk with Rodriguez delivery

[Chuck]

Wow, Chris Rodriguez 96, 97, 98 MPH fastballs with a sick splitter for the K.

Good arm-side run with his FB too

[rafibomb]

Chris Rodriguez strikes out both batters he faces to end the inning. In the words of a fellow poster, "I'll be in my bunk".

Rodriguez made Votto look silly on a couple pitches....

[bloodbrother]

Ok that was impressive. Made a great hitter like Votto look foolish there

Like you said bloodbrother, lots of “funk” in his delivery, but lots of run on his fastball, and he has several out pitches.  Nice debut.

Adell in LF?  Guess he can't be worse than in RF! 

[ScottT]

Interesting conversations amongst fans tonight

[HaloSpurs]

Man that C Rod cameo was so exciting. That stuff plays up at the major league level I’m certain. Great to see - hopefully a healthy year of development and who knows, maybe can help the big league club in September

God help us if the Angels need to rely on Suarez making any starts this season

[Justin]

Everyone's favorite phrase: "Dillon Peters warming up in the bullpen."

He still can’t make the pitch he needs at the time he needs it. His best pitch is the one that gets the second strike and often his worst pitch is when he has two strikes,

If it wasn’t so disappointing, his physical gaffs would be amusing.

I mean, they're kinda both to me.  His bad gaffes are SO bad that you can't help but laugh at their absurdity, even while being disappointed/frustrated.

Alright just sim ahead to when Detmers comes into the game please

This bullpen is hauntingly similar to 2020.  I mean 2019.  I mean 2018....

[eligrba]

Is this what “depth” looks like?
