hell of an atbat by Rendon

Fucken MVP right there!

What a shit show of a first inning. y the defense.

For get the next 29 games, I think by the All-start; 1. Detmers and Silseth will be out numbers 1 and 2 starters. They will also pitch like it. 2. Taylor Ward will have an All-star like year 3. O'hoppe will be hit 285 345-OBP with 15 hrs.

Similar to everyone here, Rengifo,Moniak and Adeeo need to play more.

With Schanuel graduating from the top 30 list, for me Dana is our number 1 prospect! honesty I am surprised that he's starting at AA. I though he'd start at A+ and eventually reach double AA towards the end of the season. Francis Texido, seem like another guy to keep an eye on in the lower minors. 18 year with plans to be starting in A.

Sandy just needs to slow everything down at times. He's rushing and his front elbow seems to be flying out. Hence all the missed locations and pitches being up. I think he'll be fine, he'll have a few bad starts but the stuff looked really good! Just needs to slow it down, fix a few mechanical errors and see how he does next start. But the command and emotion will be huge! Also might just be me, but it looked like his fastball had cut action on it today. A few things other things, I am fine with Rendon at the lead-off spot, but the hope is by mid-season, trout is moved up to the 2-hole, and if the power develops nicely I'd consider moving Schanuel to the 3-hole or if it doesn't maybe Rengifo at the 3rd/ Second, I am glad that Sano made the roster, But I would prefer the younger guys (Moniak, Rengifo, and Adell) get more playing time over him. Third, this is more of a personal favortie, But i think Stefanic is going to be important with his ability to hit for contact, draw walks and not a strike-out machine. But, Just one game nothing to worry about at the moment.

DFA this guy!

Well on the brightside, early on wre still in the race for a playoff spot

welp it's only game 1 of 162....

haha

and a 4 pitch walk....

Now Sandy don't have any mental blowup or shit the bed.

Mike Trout!

69 to 91!

If Schanuel power comes around....we might have a special player.

Soriano's TJ history scares me, but he's always had shown the stuff to be a top of the rotation arm, with a plus plus sinker, a wipe-out slider. command/control, health and the development of a 3rd pitch was the big question. It'll be interesting to see what they end up doing with him

injustice! Free Ippe! and his gambling addition!

My Predictions--> # 1. Sandy--> 27 G, 155 Innings 3.62 ERA, 11-8, 2.8 War #2. Canning, 25G, 141 inning 4.17 Era, 8-8, 1.5 War #3. Detmers, 28G, 158 inning, 3.45 ERA, 12-7, 3.8 War (AS) #4. Silseth, 27G, 150 innings, 3.89 ERA, 10-10, 2 War #5. Anderson, 15 G, 3-7, 67 innings, 4.31 ERA--> gets trades by the deadline for a salary dump, Davis Daniels replaces him and goes 8G, 42 innings, 4.23 ERA Mederos will get about 10 starts, 3-5, 40 innings, 4.48 ERA

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

with the cole injury, the astrix news.......all signs point to boras trying to get Snell an increased paycheck. it basically went from Angels/Giants early on, to just the angels and now there are 4 other teams involved.

I have to disagree. it's a short term deal. 3 years is good deal considering Snell's age and injury history. there's enough money left where you can offer Snell that 35 mil year one, and work out the other 2 years without have issues with money. if he decides to opt-out it works for us aswell with the crop of free agents next year. If he gets hurt or underperforms.... well we out of that contract in 3 years instead of 5 or 6 years.

at this point just offer Snell 35 mil, 25mil, and 20 mil, with opt-out each year. Take it or leave it.

Interesting, Arte might finally be changing his approach and it also sounds like analytics are going to be still in play.

Adell/Hicks at DH, Moniak/Hicks in right.
