Maybe we'll hit double digit posts before the game is over, unlike yesterday.

Like what was said yesterday, this is kind of the no mans land of Spring Training. The initial excitement has worn off and won't pick back up until the Opening Day roster really starts to take shape.

[Angels 1961]

This looks like OD lineup.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Honesty thats a pretty solid line-up. 1-9 solid! 

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

EIRINN GO BRACH!!

Looks like the opening day lineup, if I understood what the manager told Bollinger correctly.

 

[T.G.]

New guy at DH?

[eligrba4ever]

The green stuff on the Angels looks like they're planning to go to Oakland when the A's leave.

[jsnpritchett]

Trout Ks on a 93mph fastball right down the middle...

[Angels 1961]

Does anyone know when Angels opened the season on the road in Baltimore?

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

Are you asking if it has ever happened before?  Or are you asking when their first game is this year?  If it's the latter, they play on Thurs the 28th at noon Pacific.

April 11, 1961.

Winning pitcher Eli Grba, Angels very first game.

[jsnpritchett]

15 K and 2 BB in 35 plate appearances this spring for Trout.

[jsnpritchett]

Trout hit the wall on an attempt to catch a long drive.  Looks like he's ok, though.

Could it be linked to a lack of a hamate bone in the hand that pulls his swing forward?

Which doesn't include the minor league games?

Correct, just the "official" games.

I remember that game was wondering if any other time. Coming home from school first Angel game and they were in first place. Went on to lose like next 9 games. I was at win number 2 in Wrigley Field on a Saturday night. Halos won with 2 runs B10.

They lost 8 in a row after winning the first.  Win #2 was on a Friday night, and they won in the bottom of the 12th, not the 10th.

[eligrba4ever]

What's with the audio bleed in the Bally's broadcast?

[jsnpritchett]

Trout Ks yet again--though to be fair, that pitch looked a few inches outside.

[jsnpritchett]

Spring training blah blah blah--but I am now officially worried about both Trout and Rendon heading into the season.  I sincerely hope they can both find their rhythm over the last several games heading into the regular reason.
