You get to first faster by running through the base. He’s probably safe if he doesn’t slide, something no one ever tells you to do unless you are avoiding a tag.

Well that ended with a whimper.

Someone swapped Schanuel’s Louisville maple with an Orange County Register

The Zuk! Shrugging off CtPG scrutiny and makes a bold change and it paid off.

He was the worst guy to have up there… trying to pull everything… and anything on the ground is an automatic double play too !

Ground ball hitting 1st baseman that isn’t quick. Wonderful.

Pomeranz is worse than Romano. Significantly worse, actually.

I disagree, Romano gave up a ton of hard hit balls early in the season that were just marine layered or wind aided to stay in the park.

This didn’t match my memory at all so I reviewed the data. In his six appearances before Yankees Stadium, only four balls total reached the outfield.

Two were routine flyballs well short of the wall, one was a line drive to Mike Trout sixty feet short of the CF wall in Chicago, and the final one was Adell’s spectacular catch over the short wall in by the RF foul pole in Angels Stadium.

So while there wasn’t a “ton” of hard hit balls that were marine aided or wind-aided in any way, there was one flyball that would have resulted in a HR in roughly half of MLB parks, and not in the other half. It wasn’t even particularly well struck – 93.5mph EV and Crawford got under it – but it took a heroic play by Jo to rescue it nonetheless.

Disagree. They both suck. But Romano is worse.

Another crappy player who steals one more contract from the clowns Arturo/Minasian on the way into retirement.

I’ve reached the point where I think Rada is a better bet to help the team than Lowe against righties. Can the Angels find some injury for Lowe that he needs to rehab from or does the guy still have options?

I’ve reached the point where I think Rada is better than most of our current team !!!

Call him up and let him bat 9th for a couple of weeks and take it from there.

Don’t say that. Don’t be like Pineapple and Jeff.

We suck right now. Until further notice nobody should be predicting wins.

I mean I really want to like Lowe. But man his swing is so brutally bad.

When most of your run scoring has been the result of BBs and HRs, and you stop walking and hitting HRs, you stop scoring runs.

Pomeranian ain’t the answer as a late inning high leverage guy…

We need Joyce and Yates and anybody else we can throw in there instead !! No soft-tossing left handers !!!

Another decent night by the starting staff and the blowpen is the blowpen.

We just need to turn some of our starters into relievers. Bachman has been probably one of our best relievers and he was a former starter.

Relievers is all Minasian ever drafts.

Could the Angels do to Trout what school principals do to teachers when they want them to retire? Hey Trout, you are our everyday Catcher. Every pitch, every game you catch.

Both Shores’ and Talon’s nights are done.

Shores got really rocked – seven hits, five walks, five runs in three innings. Only struck out one. Looked more how I recalled him in college.

Haley looked very promising – no hits, 8 Ks across four. Got a little wild in the fourth inning, lost his release point a bit, but was impressive with the soft stuff across three and ended strong.

TT – what’s up with Slawinski? Has he not pitched at all in the minors yet?

He’s still in extended spring training in Arizona. All of the seven prep arms drafted in ’25 are there save for Talon Haley at the moment. We’ll like see Slawinski, Gray and Mitchell in the AZL rotation once short season ball commences.

Not unusual by the way. TGA and Jordan took the same path – opened the year after drafting in Arizona, and performed well enough to have a monthlong cup of coffee in the Cal League end of season.

It’s actually a little unusual to see Talon Haley in low-A already. You see first or second round HS arms in low A (like Seth Hernandez and Kruz Schoolcraft), but the majority of prep pitchers start in developmental leagues.

The Low A team has a large contingent of the Angels better prospects. TGA and Jordan got touched up a little bit last outing but still dominated some ABs.
