5-3-1 so far this spring. So that’d be 100-60 with 20 ties….I’ll call it a 101 win pace

Hey Shufflebot Nazis. Is our 3 game ST winning streak legit enough for deployment?

If Blitzes are legit, so should be shufflebots

The first two don’t count.

We’ve won 5 of 6 and are undefeated in March

The shufflebot is a relic of prior years when the team failed. We have a new manager, new coaching, new development processes, no Ohtani, no Ippei, and some new players. It’s a new day. We need something new to celebrate winning streaks.

Deal so what did you have in mind?

I was always kind of partial to Angela but she’s gotten a little overused here.

I just noticed that the Angels have names on their backs in ST this year.

Now they just need to make the letters big enough so you can read them.

Unlike almost all other hitters, Schanuel swing is all arms, he doesn’t use his body to drive the ball. It’s amazing how players who are 5-6 inches shorter than he is can generate so much more power. Schanuel is the same size as Ohtani.

If Hicks keep hitting, he’s going to push Moniak and Adell to the bench. It’s still really early though.

Not a good sign that Zach and Mickey don’t walk and are possibly a little too aggressive.

I get the impression the brass aint that enamored with Mickey but I could be wrong.

I can see how you get there. He doesn’t seem to be playing as much as the others but perhaps, they feel they know what they have with him and they want to see as much of Hicks and Adell as they can. He has excellent defensive value as a 4th OF and he’s cheap, and he hits for power. We’ll see as the spring goes on.

Yea, if your going to get thrown out, at least make it be at 3rd. Once he was where he was, he had no choice but to keep going. The coach should not have held him up.

Right? I felt like he could’ve had a much better choice of making it to third safely than going back to second.

I like the fact that Adell saw 8 pitches and took 3 balls before he swung.

I believe they are playing at Tempe Diablo, not Salt River.
