Such a loss of a lead..........

Good to see Rada in this game!  Got a bases loaded single and then stole second!

Rada might be my new favorite Angel minor leaguer. I think they should be aggressive with him and have him play for the Pandas. Let's see what he can do against much older players.

The Angels' Facebook page is literally AIDS. I get brain rot every time I read like 2 comments.

He then added another hit. I think he was ready to steal but Soto promptly swung at the first pitch and grounded into a DP. Loser

If you wanna watch the 4-run rally over again, MLB Network is an hour behind and it's the seventh there.

Start him in A+ ball, but then be aggressive with promoting him if the first 2 months are like 2023.

First win of the year

Have to start somewhere

Disappointing inning for Joyce.

A lot of work is needed with the control.

I think that's probably just going to be the way he always is: dominant some innings and then just absolute meltdowns occasionally.

Did not want to fall 0-3-1 be hard to win cactus league.

Not sure I'd say that publicly. I know he meant to praise Canning but he's kind of throwing the rest of the older staff under the bus.

Then maybe the older staff should've pitched better last season. They didn't, so screw them if their feathers are ruffled a bit. Who cares if they have tire marks across their backs. Besides, isn't Tyler Anderson the only one in the rotation fitting that label of older staff? If he is offended, good. He was given a good contract worth a lot of money based upon a career year in his last season with the Dodgers. He failed miserably the first year here. If he is offended, good. Maybe he should've pitched well as he was paid handsomely to do.  As for Detmers and Sandoval, we have been waiting for them to exhibit some leadership, which they have not. Hopefully, this prompts them to get their act together. The other potential starters are young like Canning, so I doubt this will bother them at all. Wash thinks Canning has leadership skills, so he absolutely was right to say this.
