The Brew Crew is playing two today. Let’s see who they send to Tempe and how the game goes.

Yoan Gone to the IL?

This opens the door to choose one: Paris/Kingery/Moore seat on the Opening day pine.
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.
Angels today.
Detmers will piggy back off of Kyle Hendricks.
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
More from Jack
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.
Boycotts of 71 usually aren’t very noticeable
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.
Exactly, that’s part of my meaning. If every ball is in play you’re gonna expose a mediocre infield defense
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?
