Parker getting knocked around pretty hard out there.

 

I've said it before this offseason and I'll say it again: Counting on Parker to be as exceptional as he was last year is a mistake by the Angels.  I'm not saying he is going to be bad, but people penciling him in to be the CP are jumping the gun a bit.  This is why this team needs another BP arm.  I hope I'm wrong though.

I would rather have Trout back at 3rd, Calhoun at second.

Pre-2017 Calhoun...yes

@Blarg thanks for the Ted’s Hot Dog recommendation, I’m here now and it’s pretty great!  

You're welcome. I like family owned places that are hidden gems. 

But if you are at Ted's you're missing the game. Not sure if that's an equitable trade, Ted's stays open late, the game not so much.

It's spring training

Jose Mota keeps saying Cozart is a Gold Glove SS. He has never won one.

He says it about Trout too

No doubt, but this is something I've been thinking/saying for a while.  I'd really like to see them add another BP arm.

Really? He's saying Trout is a Gold Glove SS?

 

Of course, it IS Jose Mota, so he might be.

We landed and got to our hotel in the first inning.  We’re at the Buttes so I watched an inning from the hotel overlooking the stadium.  I’ll be there the next couple days.

God I hate playing the Indians. It feels like they constantly play above their heads and just constantly punish us.

Oh I agree with you there. You can never have enough pitching, especially for the bullpen.

[Make Angels Great Again]

The clowns are now in. Haha what a mess of a play.

[Mark68]

I can just see this guy's nickname now:

 

Ohfuckit is pitching.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Hofacket is a really unfortunate name.

[Blarg]

Bridwell should have fared better if the defense wasn't so embarrassingly bad this inning. 

[krAbs]

I really hope Hofacket ends up finding some success. The guy is an active member of the Angel's subreddit. Kinda cool. He looked fine, just really wild.

[VariousCrap]

Holy Crap.  

Even for ST, this is embarrassing.

Pujols gets replaced and boom HR! lol

Carter > Pujols 

Anyone who judges spring training performance of six games as an indication of who is better is an idiot!

based on your logic, EYJR is better than Trout because he has done better with the bat this spring training.

Parker is the least of my worries, as he's posted solid numbers in the past he's just been overlooked. The bullpen as a whole over performed last year and I fear it will regress minus the exceptional innings provided by Petit and to an extent Hernandez.

100% agree

the bullpen could be the downfall. Then if we are in the wild card race / division we will end up giving away prospects for bullpen help
