The Angels offense continued where they left off. Shohei Ohtani promptly tripled to be driven by a single from Anthony Rendon.
In the second, Taylor Ward doubled to drive in Brandon Drury and Jake Lamb. Mike Trout doubled to left to drive in Ward. 4-0 Angels. Reid Detmers pitched two innings of shutout baseball.
In the third both Rendon and Renfroe hit solo homers. 6-0 Angels. Brandon Drury walked and Jake Lamb singled. Kyren Paris came in to pinch run for Drury. After two strikeouts, Aaron Whitefield came in to pinch hit for Taylor Ward. He singled to score Kyren Paris. 7-0 Angels. Mike Trout walked and was replaced by pinch runner Luis Barrera.
Mason Erla pitched a scoreless inning and was replaced by Jose Quijada for the fourth. Lots of minor leaguers began subbing in at this point. Quijada pitched a scoreless inning. Jordyn Adams doubled on the first pitch he saw. Kyren Paris walked. Taylor Jones lined out. Edgar Quero grounded out.
Andrew Wantz pitched the fifth inning and gave up no runs. Great game so far! Nothing really happened for a couple of innings. Ben Joyce got three White Sox out in a row in the seventh inning.
Sam Bachman pitched the eighth inning and struck out the side. Trey Cabbage walked and Livan Soto got a base hit. There was no scoring, unfortunately.
Coleman Crow pitched the ninth inning and retired the side in order. Angels won 7-0!

As usual….scrubbed..trAdition
So YOU’RE the reason they scrubbed.
Good things so far. Keep it coming. Pitchers served up 15ks and only 3 BBs (2-Erla).
OMG, just seven runs!?
Pack it up, season’s over!!

Hey now chica, you warned me about political comments…………j/k.
😀
IMO, international politics are a lot less dangerous than domestic politics haha.
But touche.
LOL, that’s quite a statement in and of itself.
Good day, only 2 hours of shoveling, Angels looking healthy and UCLA looking strong in B Ball, USC looking to make March Madness, UCLA Womens B Ball looking strong too.
Women of Troy as well, good times all around. Even my Lakers 😆
This version of Bachman staying healthy would be a pretty big deal. Fingers crossed!
They talked about his fastball reaching triple digits He definitely has some filthy off speed shit.
Well. Obviously Rendon’s toast. We can’t develop players so Detmers, Soto, Joyce, Bachman and Weiss were trash too. Ward’s the worst. Renfroe’s bargain trash. The pitch clock is making old men aware of time leaking away so it’s a war crime. Arte still owns the team. The Padres are funded by drug cartels. I think most of us should probably just skip this upcoming season and get into the WNBA unless you love mediocrity the way I do.
Brilliant! It all makes sense now. Only thing to uncover is which cartels fund them? Safe to assume a rival cartel funds the Doyers. And hope Arte eventually sells to his preferred cartel connections.
Rendon getting it Ren-done. Please stay healthy this season.
I liked everything I saw today.
As usual, when we are healthy, we are world beaters.
Just pray for health.
That is my 2023 mantra: pray for health!!!
Has been mine the last 10 yrs.
The only way to set us up for big disappointment is to have a great spring.
Ohtani triple, Trout double, Rendon HR, Renfroe HR and yet what I’m most excited about are the two innings by Joyce and Bachman
That draft pitchers only strategy should start showing. Let’s see if it’s enough.
Missed the game. Did Bachman turn it into Overdrive?
Bach was the Composer of that inning.
With 3 Ks he was definitely takin’ care of business
So we ain’t seen nothing yet?
On our way!
I learned my lesson last May, but Wally is entitled to his excitement, it’s the downturn that is killer, you hurt inside when bottom looks up.
This is an Angel fan site Grandpa . Unfortunately We all know that feeling too well.
TrAdition!
Jump on the train Grandpa!
We already know you have a ticket.
