He just needs to get off his feet.

Schanuel one of many halo players not having a good spring. I wonder if it might be better if he starts season in minors. He has been given 1B job but like others have Angels rushed him too soon?

Arte is sitting in his office writing out checks to both Trout and Rendon. Both getting 38 mill a year and cannot stay on the field. One could care less if he is on the field. His GM signs relief pitcher to a 3 year deal he is going to start season on IL. Has a young team really not ready to compete for playoff spot. GM, Trout and fans want him to sign Snell, Martinez among others. Just not going to happen.

Arte told Mike stay on the field and don't K so much

Jared Walsh OPS over 1000 this spring

The Angels Spring offense is offensive. Is that a good sign for the regular season?

Baltimore will be halo slump buster.

Hamlin had 11 career HR, not 5.  Winning run scored on a hit batter, not a wild pitch.

Here's the box score:

When I think about it the ball hit the batter and got away from catcher that is why I thought it was a WP.

Ok thanks for info now I remember. Hamlin did hit HR to tie game.

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.

This is another reason why Angels should not spend money this year. Wait and see how they do.

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.

I knew it was win number 2 but I was at that game. I remember Ken Hamlin hitting HR to tie game and winning run was on a wild pitch. Pedro Ramos I think started game for Twins. I can still see ball going over brick wall in LF on Hamlin HR. I think he hit only 5 in his career.

April 11, 1961.

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.

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

Arte is an idiot for pushing the wrong FA upon our many GMs.
Arte is an idiot for advocating trading prospects and not trading Ohtani last year.
Arte is an idiot for declaring we're not rebuilding and then doing virtually nothing. 

Arte is an idiot for making the baseball decisions instead of the GM. 

There is absolutely no clear plan what-so-ever. 

Being a perennially so-so team is the worst reality for a team. We're not sucking enough to rebuild, and we're not even sniffing the playoffs. 

Losing 8 straight years for me is time to let young players develop. Use this year to see where young pitchers and position players are at. No need to throw money around like your 1 player away.

This looks like OD lineup.

PETA has enough cats in bags. 

Do u think PETA knows when Lorenzen is signing and where?

Today is NOT the day

Trout will very little protection in this lineup.

Lol.  Dead thread.  Just like the game so far.

Dead period in ST games, will pickup in FWY series.

I have a good source that the cat will be out of bag on St. Patricks' day.

I do not like Washington saying Soriano may go back to BP if Stephenson not ready for start of season. Let's see if he can be a starter not bouncing him back and forth. Angels have plenty of arms to choose from.

How was your Grand Slam?

I did not get the grand slam. I had the 55+ omelet without cheese. 

Ron Washington seen at Denny's yesterday. After getting his 15% discount with his AARP card was asked about Snell. He said he cannot let the cat out of the bag.

The Angels were trying to buy an ace from the markdown basket.

The Angels were never in the store. Fans and MLB writers wanted them in the store. Fans will still go to the games. It's an outing going with family and friends. Having a few hot dogs peanuts and a drink. People will come Ray it's baseball.
