Yeah, like Maddon walking in a run in the 4th inning. Genius. 

I'll let this egrigious typo slide since it's an exhibition game

I would be shocked if Nevin knew how to play any instrument.

Bone flute?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I feel bad about that. Just a little.

Adams is the guy I can't help but still have hope for. 

At a minimum he’s a viable 4th OF option right now. The speed and defense are already there. If he can muster a .700 OPS he’s on the team as the back-up OF all year next year.

Intentional typo. Part of the AW lexicon like, your and idoit.

I have never been so impressed with our top prospects since the days of Kendrick, Weaver, D-Mac, Aybar, Santana and K-Mo. 

Man, it has been a minute. 

Same here. The nice part is that there is sufficient position player depth (well, more than previous seasons) so these prospects can develop and thrive in the minors. I can see Adams and Neto being early call ups though.

It's been a minute for sure.

It's in the unwritten rule book. You didn't get a copy?

Yeah man our AW lexicon shit is on page 69. 

[Amazing Larry]

Alfonso Marquez misspoke and called the Angels “Anaheim” while overturning the call. Probably one of only a few times I’ve enjoyed hearing what he has to say. 

[Blarg]

Good challenge, it was really close. 

[failos]

I thought Taylor was compiling the AW lexicon

[Swordsman78]

NIce to see the intensity from the dugout.  Very much overdue  change for the Halos.

He cut his K rate in High A from 37% to 21% last year.  It spiked again in AA but he was swinging through stuff and not being fooled.  He was one of those guys who seemed to be in a constant state of flux with his swing, I don't know what he spent the winter doing but he's been way more consistent and the plate discipline has really played up all ST.

If the dude learns to butcher boy things into the ground that might be enough to give him a MLB career.
