We’ll be just fine, looking forward to a new voice, hoping the hire will not be from within.

that’d be pretty fantastic. I wonder….I think Joe might stick with Fowler for a long time but it seems obvious that Marsh has the upside edge. and Jo….well, let’s give him this Spring plus some SLC time.

Very happy to see the Angels back in action! Lord give me strength to not overreact to meaningless spring training games.

I interrupt this game thread to announce that old friend fiend Keynan Middleton gave up a home run to Wil Myers on his first pitch as a Seattle Mariner.

Now we know Arte’s negotiating position about the CBA. 2 1/2 inning games are the wave of the future.

Always rooting for Rojas . Local Anaheim kid never has got a chance with the big club.

About Adell, since I follow his IG, he does all the weight room stuff, the agility and conditioning, the batting cage. But never once do you see him shagging fly balls. You can be an athlete but if you don’t know fundamentals, then you don’t know the sport. I’m a tennis coach,( not baseball) , and I see this all the time.

but he didn’t have these problems in the minors, did he? We’d have heard about it.

I’m not sure . When Sax or Knoblauch developed the yips or When Ankiel could no longer find home plate it seems like it just started manifesting itself overnight.
