I doubt the Angels want Moore sitting on the bench to open the season and Kingery has stunk at the plate so my money is on Paris to get the last seat on the plane to Chicago.
I know his base running needs improvement but Kyren only got on base once today so it’s kind of hard even for him to get picked off AND caught stealing in his only appearances on the bases.
It’s Spring Training. People participate to be part of an experience and get out of the winter weather. It’s relatively inexpensive as well. You can’t make much of a conclusion out of these crowds.
Now a mid-week home game in May versus Tampa Bay may be more telling.
Lately? I would think they’ve been similar. Moncada and Davis both got off to horrific starts .But In Davis’ last 7 ST games J D is 6 for 14 with 2 doubles and a HR. Moncada is 4 for 11 with a double and a HR over that same span but the problem is Moncada has only played in 4 of the Angels last 9 spring training games and I wonder how serious the recent thumb injury is.
Glove wise Moncada has looked much better at third according to the “eye test”
Moncada is a switch hitter while Davis is a righty They’ll both make the team (unless Moncada goes on the IL) but Davis will be coming off of the bench. Hes not a bad pinch hitter ( .252/.322/.439 career Pinch hitter) and his career platoon splits do not favor RHPs or LHP’s ( Career: vs RHP OPS .762 vs LHP OPS .768) and hes not bad in pressure situations ( Career .835 OPS late & close games) so he definitely can be a big boost to this team without blocking any of the kids.
Yoan Gone to the IL?

This opens the door to choose one: Paris/Kingery/Moore seat on the Opening day pine.

Injuries worse than first thought…..

Welcome to the 2025 season! Paris and
Moore need Moore seasoning.
Angels today.
Detmers will piggy back off of Kyle Hendricks.
https://x.com/JackJanes_/status/1901296697990684876
Detmers 2 times in a row with the piggy back, SL City to start the year?
Or a bullpen role?
I get a kick out of the fact that the 2nd best beat writer this spring (after Fletch) is some graduate journalism student at ASU.
Major market franchise? lol

And the largest publication in their metropolitan area, The Los Angeles Times has chosen to not even assign beat writer to the club.
PAthetic
So Paris got thrown out stealing and also got picked off first? Two outs on the bases? Wow.
I dont think that accurate.
I know his base running needs improvement but Kyren only got on base once today so it’s kind of hard even for him to get picked off AND caught stealing in his only appearances on the bases.
Ok. I just looked at the stats. They had him for both.

It’s like our offense…an underdeveloped Pho Toe from one of those old timey box cameras.
You just need to shake your phone.
Señor Upton o Señor Ward?

Kyren Paris looks so in control and confident at the plate.
But Not so much on the base paths
back to back games for McDaniels?
Whew.
Wow. That place is packed. Seems the Arte boycott isn’t working.
Boycotts of 71 usually aren’t very noticeable
Well his SSH account is likely missed

I suspect he felt something in his arm? Sucks for Myers the kid definitely is a big part of their rotation.
Jack not the sharpest Knife in drawer today
Jack was definitely Shit today
Curious how much ground there’s in between he and Reid. Can’t bode well for Reid that his next scheduled appearance is in relief of Hendricks …
Potential opening day line up today minus Heefo replacing Paris.
and Minus Moncada replacing Davis
Davis has been hitting much better than Moncada.
More of a question.

Thanks
This is the danger of Koch not being able to miss bats
Crappy defense isn’t helping his cause.
Exactly, that’s part of my meaning. If every ball is in play you’re gonna expose a mediocre infield defense
Yes but I love the soft contact unlike Tyler Anderson, Hendricks and Detmers
Neto the only + defender on the 25 man roster? And if Adell is on that list, not sure about his GG status in CF…… who else?
Legitimate question. I cannot think of anyone else.
Kevin Newman is decent with the glove
But what about the Wash 15?
Pitchers have been known to give up runs in games they win.
Angel Pitchers?
