It’s not like I said the sun won’t shine somewhere tomorrow, only he never had a season like last year and a pitcher in his 30’s is not a good percentage bet. I hope he can win 14 games this year as I don’t expect another 20 W season.
Even if you ignore last season Id still take his non Coors field career numbers. Especially after watching Bundy, Quintana Teheran, Harvey and Cahill trying to avoid a 6.00 + ERAs
Thor throws puss now even though it’s been 3 years since his TJS. Also that slow move to the plate was was horrible to watch them steal at will. Now maybe the Doyers with their vaunted coaching can fix that issue but with the new bases and disengagement limitations I think hes going to be a Huge liability .
Yes! Trout Wins!!!!
USA USA USA USA
Neto to!
I want a Neto home run and this day can be called a success.
Off of Ben Joyce?
Strange seeing Trouty on the other side, kinda hurts, but it is an exhibition game, but still.
He’s out, love those international rules until I don’t.
They would have replayed it if it wasn’t a podunk exhibition game with 2 cameras
Didn’t need more than 2 cameras to check that as an out.
rooting for Trout here
Tough call.
If it were Dodger Anderson…this wouldn’t have happened.
trAdition
Never sign a player coming off a career year, simple rule, seldom followed. Exceptions, sure there are but very rare.
for 3 years 39 million? I’ll take my chances
We’ll see but losing 13 million and a draft pick seemed high to me, would have rather had Thor return, but I am rooting for Anderson to do well.
I didn’t think it was a bad signing, and four runs against this lineup isn’t an indication of future performance necessarily.

Too bad, I like the guy.
^THIS^ Anderson really had no track record. Not that he was expensive but 3-yrs, did choke up a draft pick and he was the only starter signed.
No track record ? So the 632 innings he pitched prior to becoming a Dodger are irrelevant.
Right.
Crap stats
Sorry to nitpick… but did we sign Vlad when he was awesome? I’m trying to remember.
For all the times that people generalize and say we should never again sign an expensive free agent that just had a good year.
Of course it wouldn’t have happened Since Anderson would have never faced Mookie
OOF
Well the Angels did well there for a couple of innings.
I’m a little shocked that USA isn’t pummeling the Angels after two innings.
Minnesota beat the Dominican Republic today which proves that anything can happen in baseball….
Except Crying
Ummm
Define pummeling
(I think you jinxed us. The only out this inning was made by Trout)
4-0
I mean 5-0
What I really meant was 6-0
Does anyone know what percentage of players on all of the WBC rosters are from MLB?
Are the WBC games using the old baseball rules? No pitch clock, shift is ok, etc? And are they using those rules for this game?
Yep. Old rules. No sticky stuff ban either
How about the bases, did they put back the old smaller bases for today game, too?
Don’t know about that.
Its international rules so the key is bigger and they never call traveling
And holding is ok, too?
Yep as well as flopping .
Angels players excel at flopping.
Game is on Bally but not MLB TV? What a joke.
here comes Trout…
Can we watch this anywhere? Or radio only?
It’s on Bally
