Still no Rendon. Guess Maddon wasn't kidding about starting him slow...

Takin it slow.

[Make Angels Great Again]

This card looks like a challenge of field as many non starters as possible.

Even though spring training games don't count,  fuck the Mariners.

Any reports on Detmer other than BSOHL?

Looks pretty good after one inning!

Glad I saw this thread. Working OT today, just turned it on.

 

Baseball is back! 

Ill be complaining soon enough, but for now, excited to have it back.

Thaiss sure seems to move his glove around a lot

And two. 

I'm sold!

Detmers with 5 Ks through 2 IP.  Looking good!  Tons of movement.

I think he's going to be a good pitcher. Better stuff, bigger, stronger than Canning.

I think Janson Junk is going to be a nice surprise this year. Have a feeling he could be surprisingly good arm in a hurry.

Confidence similar to what we saw on the minors and so much better execution.  

He had a ton of games in the minor last year where he would have that high fastball and big breaker coming from the same release point.  The curve would freeze guys and the fastball would end up at eye level with guys swinging through it.  He did that a few times today and it was really nice to see.  I think the change and slider will be what makes or breaks him in terms of getting deep into games and then those will likely come along more in yrs 2 and 3.  

I know it's spring, but that was encouraging mostly because it looked like the guy who mowed people down in the minors and not the guy who struggled in the bigs.

Junk already fulfilled his purpose: unloading Heaney.

Gatewood coulda had that. Not judging Janson off this appearance. I like his mix and think he’s gonna pan out.

really?  Wasn't super impressed with what I saw in the minors last year.  Every time I've watched him, he seems pretty erratic sans one start.  Misses his spots a lot.  He was pretty good when his command and control were on but not convinced that his stuff is good enough to get away with many mistakes at the major league level.

Thaiss two run dinger!

He sets a target then seems to drop his glove and bring it back up.

He doesn't really stand out to me. He is the kind of guy that is going to have to really improve his command for me to take notice.

[tdawg87]

Junk is a depth piece. I don't think he'll be anything more.

Still valuable. Just not going to be a regular in the rotation. Possibly the bullpen at some point.

@jsnpritchett you may be right. After watching the past three ST games Patrick O’Neil is a snoozefest.

Hopefully Denny Hocking will be good and contribute more than O’Neil.
