Angels vs. White Sox Gamethread

I have to imagine most of the big names went home yesterday. I do like watching the prospects and guys fighting for roster spots these last few games.

Moore with an 8 pitch 1st.

Lots of 1st pitch swinging for our hitters, game might not make 1.5 hours

Great pitching but the lack of offense continues.

An outfield of Moniak, Rada, and Adell, could really fly around the bases

Adell has to get on base first. 😄

I agree. He needs to walk more and make a little more consistent contact.
I’m also not yet convinced he can hit major league pitching.

It actually will be very interesting to see what happens to the hitters when the season starts, both the hot ones and the cold ones.

I’m hoping a cold spring means Mike Trout is saving everything for the regular season.

Rada is going to be up here sooner than later.

With his age and logjam in front of him, bet on later.

I would be willing to bet he’s up here in two years at 20. We shall see.

Understood but it’s a factual point of reference. I realize it doesn’t mean anything regarding the regular season.

Looks like they might have had the right idea with Soriano, eh?

Perhaps, but they haven’t looked all that good against “B” teams.

Been busy all day. I went to the box score and 6 innings, 8 K’s and 0 run’s definitely popped.

Nice game from Moniak and Hicks has snatched a starting job.

I’m also not so sure that Ward should be a shoe in over Hey Mickey.

I’d be tempted to open with Hicks in Left, MNT in Center & Mickey in RF.

I’d rather have Hivks cannon in right field . Mickey can play an above average left . He just can’t hit left handers yet

I think Wash should start the following on Opening Day:

LF – Hicks
CF – Trout
RF – Moniak

Yeah, I said it.

This just in:

Dateline 3/22/24: In Anaheim today, the Rally monkey was fired by the Los Angeles Angels following allegations of theft from the Angels team store and using the allegedly stolen funds to pay off overdue paternity support of unnamed female monkeys at the Santa Ana Zoo.

I’m surprised the Angels haven’t been accused of ‘ist or ‘ism over the little guy.

BTW, buttercup blows ass, but R.M. can stay. He rules. I’ll die on that hill.

But didn’t the Angels dump buttercup and replace it with the dayoooo! singing Freddie Mercury Gopher ( or maybe it’s a hamster? )

obviously Hicks won’t bat .405 in the regular season but he’s showing me he’s better than I thought.

I hope he doesn’t pull a Steve Finley

He’s been on fire and will contribute. Hell, he may be our DH lead off.

I know, but I remember when Steve Finley joined the Angels and hit over .500 in the spring. Then the season started and he couldn’t break .100

Meanwhile Sano has been struggling, but he’ll hit 30HR during the regular season…

Sano is on a career saving mission this year.

Thats because he had been ruined by the Doyers before us.

They definitely have the better juice.

Runner on third with less than two outs = no runs scored. Every time.

Ward should be the 4th OF to open.

“I have to imagine most of the big names went home yesterday.”

Nope pretty much all the starters!
