Last one before the real ones.
Angels vs. Dodgers Gamethread
Made a pitching change with 2 outs in the 9th with no real threat in the very last inning of the very last spring training game.
Who does that?
Shame on you guys for questioning the great overlord Doc…we are lucky to just share the same stadium with such royalty. Shohei would not be happy.
Besides, the computer told him to go make the change. We wouldn’t understand the 5-D ¥€ Chess they are playing. They know things.
With the play of the utes, this series was a big victory in my book.
On to Chicago
Rain will be the only thing stopping us from flying out of Chicago with 3 wins
Please don’t start predicting sweeps like you did last year. You were responsible for more series losses last year than anyone with your stupid pre series prediction of sweeps. If you can’t be appropriately negative just stay silent.
Updated top 5 rankings of Billy Eppler’s draft acquisitions as of 3/25/25 ( By career WAR):
- Brandon Marsh
- Kyle Bradish
- Griffin Canning
- Reid Detmers
- Jack Kochanowicz
Lets hope Jo Adell and Kyren Paris can finally break into this group this year
Neto and CMo will be holding down the middle sooner rather than later.
I feel like Moncada will be supplanted by Rengifo pretty quickly too.
I believe the competition for that award will be fierce. We have a number of candidates.
I’m sure in the meeting where they discussed clipping either Moniak or Adell last night, it simply came down to, “let’s give our homegrown total bust” one more shot than the “imported total bust”.
I want Adell to succeed as much as anyone but, the writing is pretty much clear for everyone to read. He’s a .180-to-.210 hitter at this level. He needs to play great defense and hit 30 jacks to justify that BA & SO rate.
