Ozuna scores on PK's GIDP, 3-2 Angels.

ok, I'll be the jerk.... looks like they're rounding into regular season form!

I don't think Floyd is ever gonna be ready.

I am getting the sinking feeling that the offense this year is going to get really ugly. They are just not generating run production and haven't most of the spring. The GIDP's and pop-outs are out of control.

Angels score again on a single, up 4-2 now, no outs in the third. Man on 2nd, because Erstad missed the cut-off man on the throw.

 

 

End of 3rd, Angels up 4-2.

1. Spring training feel, stats, etc. dont matter

 

2. White Sox lead the AL in runs scored during the spring.

I dont think the White Sox can harm Danks by bringing him up too early. The kid seems to have enough confidence in himself to be able to take his knocks in his rookie year (as he most likely will) and learn from it and become a better pitcher. Just my opinion...

 

On the other hand, I worry about Gavin's mentality...great stuff, no control and not a confident guy it appears...

Hehe, your number 1 sorta makes #2 useless.

Yep and have scored 3 runs or less 11 times. The pop-outs and GIDP's have been a problem for a while and looks like an issue for this season as well. If Spring Training is so irrelevat how did Danks become the number 5? I understad there is a credability issue with looking too deep into the numbers but it is showing a pattern of reouccurence with the same porponents.

Angels just are running all over us, their jumps are crazy.

 

Welcome to the bigs Boone... again.

Logan K's the side. ERA still zero. He'd better be in the pen instead of Sisco.

Exactly. Spring Training is meaningless all the way around. Good or bad.

Really. I would have never guessed that.

Danks became the No 5 the same way Boone Logan bacame the Loogy last year. How'd that work out? Spring Training results of any kind don't matter.

I'm about to pull my hair out listening to Hawk/DJ talking about Dustin Moseley as if he's going to contend with Loe for a Cy Young. This guy is a f***ing scrub. Look at his statistics on baseball cube -- ee's been at AAA for three years.

Hope Floyd enjoys triple A. Methinks we might have 3 lefties in our pen.

i rather have sisco than boone. atleast he has mlb experience and some sucess in the bigs unlike boone.

Sisco on for the 6th inning. Still 4-2 Angels.

I don't think Floyd is ever gonna be ready.

Yet, somehow, the White Sox noticed something in him.

 

He just isn't very good. Williams and certain scouts should come forward and explain themselves because his addition to our ballclub has been a question from day one.

 

If we don't learn from this, shame on us. Maybe we'll begin to look for legitimate players in future trades and not pitchers based around the belief that "Coop will fix em'" Sure, you can do that seperately ; just don't associate this philosophy with deals where the key goal should be receiving the most talent in return.

Flash, you are under the false impression that Garcia had high trade value.

 

the constant b****ing over here is getting old fast.

Now 6-2 Angels, 2 in so far on Sisco (although on some weak sauce, not a lot of hard-hit balls).

Flash, you are under the false impression that Garcia had high trade value.

 

Well, when you look at what Jason Jennings got traded for, you can't help but wonder if the Sox couldn't have gotten a better package (Hirsh and Taveras? or Hirsh alone?). And looking at Floyd's career numbers and current performance, it's baffling what the Sox saw that they liked so much.

 

That said, none of us will ever know what the trade market for Garcia was, so maybe it si time to just stop speculating....

MMac comes in, gives up a 2-run single to Kendrick, Angels now up 8-2.

 

Sisco's line will close with 4 runs given up in 0.1 innings.

 

 

wind-aided double scores Kendrick, now 9-2 Angels.

Flash, you are under the false impression that Garcia had high trade value.

I'm really tired of going over this issue. It's not you specifically, but everyone else who says something similar.

 

It... doesn't... matter...how he's faring right now. Whether he never pitches another game or not, the fact is when he was traded -- we could and should have received more.

 

Explain this to me -- is the difference between Freddy Garcia and Jason Jennings really enough to justify the large gap between the two deals? No. Colorado received exactly what we should have -- a generous return package. That was because the nature of the market overvalued mediocre pitchers. Williams didn't take advantage of it.

 

 

 

 

 

This is really becoming embarrassing. We're unraveling.
