Ace-Of-Diamonds

OK fine Shoe pitches a 2 hit shut out tomorrow, to extend the winning streak to 4. Go Richards make it 5 in a row. Better

too bad Shoemaker has to pitch after winning 3 in a row.

That's 3 in a row. Light that baby up.

Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo

Yeah E3

mowing fish?

It makes hitters look better but the opposite is true for the pitchers. Tropeano looks better in Anaheim against better hitters than he does in Salt Lake. Same with Heaney last year.

Give the guy a chance, kicking him after 1 inning? how did he do in the second inning?

Cowart is 3-3 at Salt Lake with a double and 2 singles game in bottom of the 7th.

After being sent down to AAA and returning last season he went on a hot streak, too bad he can't get hot and stay hot. To be fair Trout isn't hitting very well at the moment either. Trout usually starts the season off slow.

Light that baby up

Escobar is a DP magnet.

Trout put this game away

Gray be gone, good game Angels. It's nice to watch a game when our rookie out pitches an Ace.

Great Move Scioscia bringing in Salas. You're a genius

Tropeano Is pitching Great so far. That is good news for this team the way things look with Heaney and Wilson.

Sonny's skies have turned to Gray.

That shut the drums up for awhile at least.

That was crushed. 3-0

Get out of it Trop.

We got Tropeano and Perez for Conger right? That was a pretty good trade for us.

We seem to be using the infield shifts a lot more this year. Isn't not shifting the reason Dipoto quit.

Anyone else annoyed by the drummer. Even if I was an A's fan it would drive me nuts.

Most of you that have been on AW for a long time wouldn't know, but the refuges from the now defunct Angels' board know that I have been pushing for Cowart to take over 3B from before Freese went on the DL last season. I knew his chances were slim to none when the Escobar trade went down. I was hoping Kaleb would have such a great spring, it would force the team's hand but he barely got a look at in spring training. He is such a good fielder that even if he only hit .250 it would be a no brainer. I have a gut feeling he will hit much higher than that though.

I wouldn't be too quick to give up on Cowart as a good hitting, good fielding 3B under team control and on the cheap for years to come. I would be more worried about 2B fielding. Johnny appears to improved over last year but he still isn't the best player with a bat or a glove.
