So this is the part where we say well, spring training games don’t really matter anyways. I was kind of hoping we would get a game or two in before giving in but oh well
But given the choice between winning a Spring game and losing it I’ll always take the win. More importantly, I don’t like blowing big leads and losing, even if it is only Spring Training and the guys doing it won’t be on the big club.
Postgame up
I take back every positive comment I made 3 hours ago. This team surely will lose 90 games.

😆😆😆
I’m shocked, SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.
i need some furniture
What did Patty O say?
he needs patio furniture
Yikes! Twelve straight balls.
The ghost of Fernando Rodney. I was at a game where he threw 13 straight.
So we had Adell go deep, prove he can make routine plays. Marsh had a knock and scored a run.
Lorenzen proved effective over two innings of quick work.
All in all a solid spring debut.
MI hit. We ran the bases really well. Veazquez will be an interesting watch, and Wade looked decent too
Hot competition out of the gate!
JS – 1/1
LR – 1/3
JM – 2/3
AV – 2/3
TW – 1/2
Except our young guys at the back end of the pen are getting ready to blow this game.
No one we’ll be counting on this year
True.

Let’s just say it’s a personal quirk of mine.
That’s understandable
This game ended an hour ago
Yessir
How come you’re never that respectful to me?😎
I know you better 🤪
they are Trash Pandas – half the guys in the game right now aren’t even in Major League camp
Of course.
It is more about optics.
Five MIFs that are trying for two spots went: 7 for 12 – all looked good
*not counting Rojas who was in the OF
Ledo will be on the bus to the lower fields tomorrow.
you mean on the bus to Scottsdale – that where the minors train this year.
he can let it roll there.
Major League roster has the lower fields to themselves
The Ledo shuffle?
It looks like the Angels are trying to give the game away now.
Its a spring TrAdition.
this is why we call’em Trash Pandas
If this guy hits a double here, I will eat an entire tray of cabbage.
Outside called 3rd steerike: will have to derive roughage from other sources. Perhaps blueberries.
RBI for the Plumber!
the guy can hit
But what does he know about P-Traps?
Davis Daniel making his Angels debut. Always cool when I guy I’ve interviewed a couple of times on his way up puts on the Angels jersey.
Cooler for him, obviously. But, also cool for me.
Daniels was better than he looked there. He should have had a 1-2-3, but Teodosio lost the third out in the sun.
The crack of the bat, the smell of the crowd, the touch of madness called “optimism”!
At least there’s no idiot with a drum in the stands.
Not Danny Boy’s fault. They don’t rule those as errors, but they should.
Bryce Teodosio?
Brice teodosio to you too!
OK. Brought to you by the Inland Empire 66ers.
Teodosi – Oh! No. (Arizona sun!)
Guess where he’s heading back to after this game?
Alright, i’ve seen enough practice games. Let’s get the season started
13.5 ERA? Things are looking Grimm for Oakland pitching.
Who’s announcing with Gubi?
Patty O!!!
you have to be hearing him on Kings TV
Go Kings Go!
I need some furniture.
i usually need furniture when the Angels are giving up bunches of extra base hits, not hitting them
So when Zack was pitching.
Captain Jack!
Ground Rule double for Captain Jack!
Wallach! He was the good instead of the ugly!
I’m all for method acting if this is the result.
I was going to make a “Wallach’s music city” joke, but I wasn’t sure if that was an LA only chain back in the 70s.
