Duren, Duren

Tough play at the plate. It was worth the risk given the lack of offense.

One of Anderson's best Angel start so far. He had some good stretches last year but also a lot of bad early innings.

Redundant but Rendon's bat is just slow. Hicks squeezes it inside the foul pole. At least his bat came to life.

Hitters on both teams making the pitchers look good.

Not much solid contact or patience for the lead off man.

They are 2 - 2 having played a great and a terrible team. So it kind of averages out. If they take this series they finish this swing over .500. Without yet being at home and settled into a routine off the field. It was a bit of a shock to the system with back to back blowouts, but things have stabilized seemingly. And once/if the cold players start waking up it should get better. Negativity to some degree was a natural reflex after the first two games but those are past and it's what's ahead that now matters.

He's been getting to the ball but having trouble handling it. Could be a matter of concentration and focus. His mechanics seemed ok last season. But like all the slow starters they'll need to start producing sooner rather than later.

Angels at .500. Marlins at 0 - 5. Time to sweep the series while the other team is struggling. Nice comeback game. The long ball and solid relief pitching turned things around.

Adell is notably more patient and not not taking as many wild swings. Get him in as a regular and let him get in sync having a regular routine.

Adell has had some nice at bats so far.

Getting the breaks!

Insurance would be a bonus.

Can't get the ball out of the infield. Minimal results though maybe enough.

Mirror image of the Angels defense!

Time to break it open!

Nice to see a pitcher having control problems on the other team.

Rendon is battling harder today. Maybe he'll get in sync with more at bats.

Cimber has his own style and a bit of an attitude. But sidearm and gimmick pitchers don't usually have long careers.

Surprised Marlins didn't challenge. Tie goes to the runner and it was that close.

Not that one. Brain dead Neto.

Another home town moment.

Pitching AND defense. One pitch, two outs.

Smart move to yank Suarez. They got what they could from him. Control problems made it hard to trust any longer.

Any pitcher hear of a shut down inning?

Now it's a new game. Bullpens will be under pressure. Nice to hear opposing broadcasters moan about the problems of their team.
