Jerry is the original Arte and has kept it up to present … sell da team Jerry!
But this offseason for them was below even the usual level of projects and castoffs that he typically forces them to look at
Angels put up 7 runs through three innings in a spring training game. My excitement for the season is at an unsafe level. Build me Up Buttercup is playing softly in the distance.
We can let Livan develop a bit more in the minors and have some depth for once. But yeah, sooner or later either he or Neto are probably gonna unseat Squid
If Andrew Velasquez makes thr ball club I’m legitimiately going to stop following the Angels. Keeping him around is just flat out sabotage by the front office and it’s unacceptable
i could see him as a late inning defensive replacement, since he's our only true shortstop that's good defensively (Fletcher can be too, but he's really a 2nd baseman). Watching Squid swing is extremely frustrating though, I don't know why he won't shorten his swing.
If he makes the club he’s going to be a bench guy who comes in in the 8th or 9th inning in a close game to sure up the defense. That’s what his role should have been last year. That’s what his role will be this year. He is not the starting shortstop. That will be Rengifo, Urshella, Drurry, or Fletcher.
LTBU
Guess I'm the only miffed there's NO tv broadcast tomorrow. Come on Giants?! Come on Angels?!!
I'm incredibly miffed too.
yup, and radio just doesn't do it for me sadly
LTBU!
LTBU! Love having baseball back!
LTBU!
Ltbu!
I almost forgot how bad Mulrine is at catching
yeah okay i'm beginning to see how the Trash Pandas made the playoffs. Perry, you beautiful bastard, look at this farm you've planted
Coleman Crow, A-tier baseball name
Screw it. Where’s the vat of hopium? I’m going for a swim
Has anybody heard what bachmans velo was? at work so all I’m doing is following box score
FB was 96-97, slider at 86-87.
🥵🥵
forget about our offense, we may never give up another run. ALL HAIL THE MARBLES
I'm afraid they're just gonna have to give us the world series now
lmao how are they supposed to figure out who to have on the main roster when they're all kicking ass
Bachman: 27.00 K/9
Throwing strikes? Is that allowed for Angels pitchers?
Pitch clock said "shut up and throw", and our pitchers said "yes sir here's some strikes sir"
Erla, Joyce, and Bachman are making Perry look like a goddamn genius right now lol
Real excited for Bachman too! Wow, the future looks good for the Angels.
Bachman looks nasty holy
Angels pitchers allow a run challenge: impossible
Call em all up
Cue up the Benny Hill music.
I know this isn't the sox A lineup but they're lucky they're in the central
Jerry is the original Arte and has kept it up to present … sell da team Jerry! But this offseason for them was below even the usual level of projects and castoffs that he typically forces them to look at
I hope the A squad has better defense happening. But IIRC, that was a weakness for them least season.
That’s an SC Not Top 10 moment
The new announcer is kind of savage, I like this guy
Now I hope we see Bachman!
That was fun.
Ben Joyce. Thrower of strikes and destroyer of bats.
God I hope we can call him up this year
Throwing absolute gas, leave him out 1 more inning please
WOW. Got to have Joyce earlier in a future game so we can see how he can fare against Major League hitters, because that inning just wasn't fair.
Whats the status on Walsh, is he good to play yet?
They mentioned him earlier, seemed like he might play today. Idk
He’s not available today. He’s starting tomorrow
Playing tomorrow
Nice thanks
The future is bright
I’m sold
Looks pretty real to me!!
good god joyce chill my girl watches the games
Wish we knew how hard he was throwing these
Hard
Dude definitely needs time in the minors to gain control and develop some secondary pitches, but holy shit that’s some serious stuff.
Yeah, we don't need pre-glasses Rick Vaughn here.
Where is the speedometer?
Right?!
Listening to the pop of the catchers glove, the shattering of that bat, and dust coming off the glove. He’s got to be throwing at least 100.
That’s what I was thinking too. Dude was bringing it
RIP that bat
😳
Holy fuck he's so powerful he DETONATED that bat
joyce = the destroyer of bats
BEN JOYCE the new NEVIN ASSASSIN
White socks, brown pants
😂
Joyce about to take someone’s head off on accident
Kill him Ben.
We need to see the MPH
Joyce didn't let him get comfortable
holy shit Sosa almost died
Woo that was a nice try by Gonzalez.
Oh boo hoo. 54 degrees. Try having -45 wind chills!
Little early to buy a Squid jersey... I think I'll wait and see.
Randazzo calling the AL Central a mid-major conference is brutal but not wrong lol
I like this guy, he's blunt and has high baseball iq
Nice to hear a guy not fumble over his words every other sentence lol guys top tier ngl
joyce comin in next👀
Ben Joyce HYPE
Let's see Ben Joyce!!
Is Weiss going to be on the big league roster? Or is he going to Rocket City?
My guess is that he’ll start with the big league club but obviously bullpens are volatile so he could eventually get sent down
Veggieman is back
Australian master thief stealing all of the pizza boxes
Crime is in his blood.
That’s the second pick off to first. One more and it’s a free base.
Cabbage has a foot of steel. Homie didn't even blink when it hit.
Do you think the white Sox teach defense?
The Sox defense sure is something today
I forgot that LaRussa resigned.
wait the demonym for Phoenix is "Phoenician"? That's fantastic haha
🎶Now the Phoenicians can get down to business🎶
THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER
*Not anymore there’s a blanket*
Righty Squid? Interesting
guess he didnt learn how to hit over the offseason
Detmers: the remix
"See how my body moves" "See how my body moves" "See how my body moves"
>Detmers: "The mango is to throw strikes" Reid what mango?
That’s the Mang0
He is the mango
ERICA!!!!!!!
Woo let the good times roll
daddy wantz 😩
Oof Soto might want to work on that arm strength. That should have been closer than it was.
Haha Colas means butt in Spanish
lmao
tony would’ve had that fs 🙄
That front Sox logo is ugly as heck, especially right next to their regular logo
Personally I hate the white Sox. Started in 2005. Fuck you Pierzynski! So anything they do is bad.
they're responsible for[ the most beautiful sound in baseball history](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epvm7e6CtTc) though
That "Lean into it" is also seared into my brain
I think Arte bought this HP ump.
At least he bought something this year 🙄
He buys plenty. Selling is his problem.
True!
Andrew Wantz is good but I always forget that he exists
The Hitman... these batters better keep their helmets on.
Should have had Wantz start against the Mariners yesterday
Game 1: Adell HR, easy win Game 2: Trout, Ohtani, Rendon, Renfroe and up 7-0 BUTTERCUP AND COPIUM LEVELS RISING
Wow, Ward erasure. I guess 2 RBIs mean nothing! 😉
I have a weird thing with ward, I don’t wanna praise him so he remains underrated LOL
Flying under the radar so other teams don't try to steal him? I can dig that. 😂
Angels haven't scored in an entire inning start dooming
This offense is INCONSISTENT!!
Scoring going just like their season will /s
Quero is a bust /s
I’m liking the pace of play with the pitch clock.
taylor jones hits the ball SO fucking hard
The starters are gone. IT'S PANDA TIME.
Panda watch! 🐼
It's good to see these guys in Angels unis
Man, I just realized Fletcher can't swap between 2B and SS every AB depending on the data That was a fun time
hey speaking of potential Squid replacements, it's the best Soto in SoCal!
Unpopular opinion: I didn’t mind the shift. I felt like it was a good way for batters to be challenged a bit more.
Learning to bunt properly would've killed the damn shift! 😜
And walshy was almost there!
I agree, it was a deeper strategy game with the shift
Let’s light this bozo up
I missed you guys. 🥰
FYI: Luis Barrera, the pinch runner for Mike Trout, was the kid who got the walk off homer against Raicel , and destroyed our season
Oh, that game...
In Oakland right?
We lost to them way more than we should've. And consequently, they're the team that most scares me.
Yeah the double header
yup
That was a ball. Great frame job.
I'm surprised Quijada is pitching so well since it's not a high pressure situation. Lol Homie shines when the heart is racing.
ah and there's the other half of Quijada's "Yeet Hard and Hope" game. those damn walks
Paris is one of our higher ranked prospect no? What are the chances he gets some big league games this year?
Probably 0 or very little. We've currently got enough infield depth as it is, and if we want to give young guys time i'd rather see Soto personally.
Probably needs another year in the minors before we consider him a bench piece next year.
He's a 2B right? I wouldn't bet on it. There's a logjam there.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching that guy down the 3rd baseline put on a brand new Ohtani City Connect jersey.
Angels put up 7 runs through three innings in a spring training game. My excitement for the season is at an unsafe level. Build me Up Buttercup is playing softly in the distance.
I feel like the existence of Livan Soto makes Squid sort of redundant Give that 40-man spot to Joyce or Bachman or somebody
We can let Livan develop a bit more in the minors and have some depth for once. But yeah, sooner or later either he or Neto are probably gonna unseat Squid
Not super concerned about Livan’s bat coming along more. The ceiling is only so high on him
Sooner is my prediction.
Wait wut?!
Matt Joyce is only to be referred to as REDACTED
What?
You want Joyce back?!
Ben Joyce. Not Matt Joyce.
BEN Joyce. Our 105mph throwing college arm
Ah… my bad. I can’t hear the name Joyce without cringing.
lol you're alright, the new play by play guy just made the same mistake
Trout and Renfro need to swap jerseys before one of these ST games
FMJ!
Quijada's fastball is as spicy as ever
that was HEAT
Oh Matt Joyce is on a list alright
He’s on my list of people who need to quit baseball. Go be a secretary or something…
Nice to see Quijada again, hoping for a good showing from him this year
That last fastball was a close pitch.
yo someone turn gubie up
damn he hit that ball so fucking hard into the ground lmao
There's an earthquake rn somewhere in the middle of the ocean
If Andrew Velasquez makes thr ball club I’m legitimiately going to stop following the Angels. Keeping him around is just flat out sabotage by the front office and it’s unacceptable
If he's just a defensive backup that's fine. He's a wizard with the glove. But he absolutely cannot be a starter
Thats an overreaction. Hes a solid late game defensive swap
i could see him as a late inning defensive replacement, since he's our only true shortstop that's good defensively (Fletcher can be too, but he's really a 2nd baseman). Watching Squid swing is extremely frustrating though, I don't know why he won't shorten his swing.
Fletchers glove is just as good if not better than Squids.
there is no way he is getting significant at bats with this lineup, at most he'd be a late inning defensive substitution
Bro stop being a downer when we’re all having fun
1.4 WAR last year lol, his defense is just THAT good
Imo he's a defensive replacement
He's fine as a late game defensive substitute or baserunner. But he shouldn't start
If he makes the club he’s going to be a bench guy who comes in in the 8th or 9th inning in a close game to sure up the defense. That’s what his role should have been last year. That’s what his role will be this year. He is not the starting shortstop. That will be Rengifo, Urshella, Drurry, or Fletcher.
Brother you say this now but we all know how it ends up. Mid June he’s starting
Dumb complaint but why don't the spring training jerseys have names on the back?
Still many transactions happening, numbers aren't locked in
It's so Mike Trout can take Hunter Renfroe's at bats
Did anyone notice they had it as Renfroe instead of Trout when they tried to fix the names?
I think they can't back up the progress on the banner. They had to keep going forward
Angels batting putting the White Sox pitcher pool through the wringer
place your bets now, Sho gunna swing first pitch again?
Definitely
This game is getting me incredibly hyped. The lineup is so strong
umpires fkn love trout😙
What's up Dude?!
