that they could have batted around again and Vladdy would have ended the inning. Wonder if anyone has ever accounted for all three offensive outs in a single half-inning before?
“…yes (mumbles some words)…Reggie will have a hard …(incoherence).. it will be tough to break in… (unintelligible)…competition is ahhhhh…(more mumbling)…”
I have to strain to understand what he is trying to say. Speak UP man!!!
But the last few years his fastball usually averaged around 91 mph, topping out at 93, 94. I just hope he can be up to speed at the start of the regular season.
Napoli slated to resume catching duties on Friday.
Also, while the LA Times said Lackey’s problem was elbow-related, Rory says it a forearm strain.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Be ok Torii
ugh
ReggieBullits - March 25, 2009
Crap.
3rd Echelon - March 25, 2009
Inside the park homer makes it 2-0 Rockies.
Torii missed the catch and went down hard.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Torii coming out.
Possible concussion. Crap.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Glad Matthews has been playing well
and we haven’t traded him away yet.
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
Tyler Johnson replaces Hunter.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Weaver gets out of the first without further problems.
Kinda sucks for Jered, he struck out two guys and gave up a fly ball.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
that then turned into an inside the park homer.
Must remember to finish my thought.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
I just though
You were being funny. I laughed.
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
Chone groundout.
Howie flyout.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Abreu grounds out.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
wow
cant believe that happened to torii
TheAngelsAngels - March 25, 2009
I was just about to type that.
I hope Torii isn’t hurt too bad… but GMJ is available.
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
come on vlad!!
TheAngelsAngels - March 25, 2009
No further trouble in the second.
Let’s try not to get totally shut down by Marquis.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
dammit!!!
classic
TheAngelsAngels - March 25, 2009
Vladdy 1PS groundout.
Matthews in.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
WALKING WOUNDED
Lackey this morning, Torii this afternoon
Rev Halofan - March 25, 2009
Looks like we may have a slow start to the season for the Angels.
44FAN - March 25, 2009
What happened to Torii? Did anyone see it?
hauldog - March 25, 2009
Long fly ball hit him in the kisser.
44FAN - March 25, 2009
I don't think the ball hit him.
The way Rory described it, he jumped for it, missed hit the wall HARD and went down not moving.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Well, I was wrong.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Morales and Matthews on base.
1st and 3rd one out.
Rivera doubles!!
TIE GAME!
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
whoo!
SoCalWine - March 25, 2009
Rivera ties it up!!!
2-2
stuck in Romania - March 25, 2009
one word
depth
TheAngelsAngels - March 25, 2009
Pretty much how we've won every year since '04.
Guys go down, we get roughed up, but we just keep coming.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Mathis walks.
1st and 2nd, one out, Aybar up.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009

TheAngelsAngels - March 25, 2009
Aybar shoots it down the first base line!
TRIPLE!
4-2 Angels!
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Aybar triples! 4-2 Halos!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Aibar triples!!!
2 rbi’s
stuck in Romania - March 25, 2009
What's the proper grammar
Isn’t in 2 RBI…
Technically Runs Batted In is already plural
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
yeah guess so...
I’m ESL though… even spelled aybar wrong…
stuck in Romania - March 25, 2009
not that aybar is English..
stuck in Romania - March 25, 2009
Brother...
As long as your an Angel fan, your home.
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
Speaking of proper grammar...
you are an Angel fan and you are home.
Speaking of ESL: Vaminos Serafinas!!!!
:)
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
Lord Aybar!
44FAN - March 25, 2009
That i kid Aybar!!!
first triple of the spring training…
4-2 halos
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Basehit Figgs! 5-2!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
wow you must have a faster feed
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Could be, just got on.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
NO!
He’s psychic
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
haha
that works… what are the winning lotto numbers?
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Figgins base hit!
Aybar scores, 5-1.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Er, 5-2.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
That would be cool to be able to subtract runs.
:P
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
Basehit Howie, 1st and 3rd!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Howie single!
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
wow.
I must be in delay
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
****Torii update****
ball hit torii in the face (the nose) after the wall
Hunter to the hospital for X-Rays
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Here's hoping they're negative, and Torii was just shaken up.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
I Second that!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
OUCH!
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
2B for Abreu! Howie and Figgs score, 7-2!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
lets go Vlad!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Vlad retired again.
The only man to be retired in the inning…twice.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
I was hoping...
that they could have batted around again and Vladdy would have ended the inning. Wonder if anyone has ever accounted for all three offensive outs in a single half-inning before?
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
Matthews makes the last out. Have to settle for 7 runs in the inning. :P
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Freaking Bullshit!
Trade Matthews NOW!
—-please note sarcasm.
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
Man i hate having to Settle for
ONLY 7 runs in an inning :p
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Fowler with a leadoff double on a bloop. Vlad being a little lazy.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
I wish GA had given Hunter some lessons in being lazy
Fan Since 1981 - March 25, 2009
7-3
bad throw by figgy
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Although the run would've scored even if Figgs had made a good throw.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
valid point
but i just want to point out all the reasons for Bwood to be the everyday starter, starting with a bad throw by figgy
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Weaver having trouble.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
HR 7-5. Weaver getting knocked around.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Homerun.
7-5 Angels.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
right as my radio feed cuts out!
AHHHHHH
come on Weaver!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Come one Weaver
Christ
angelsown3417 - March 25, 2009

angelsown3417 - March 25, 2009
Wind's blowing to OF
Don’t get too excited.
scareduck - March 25, 2009
im not
angelsown3417 - March 25, 2009
Out of it on a nicely turned 3-6-1 DP.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
gotta love a good DP...
…. to end an inning
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Well fellas, the offense has been kicking butt for us the last 3 games,
looks like we’re gonna need more today.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Before the DP
Weaver was getting no love from the D. His line looks a lot worse than it’s actually been.
rghan - March 25, 2009
Mathis on first with an error.
Lets go Erick, power swing time.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
RBI Triple for Erick!
Second triple of the game!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Aybar with triple number 2!
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Aybar with 2 triples in the game!!!!
and an RBI
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Figgs walks, 1st and 3rd for HK.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Figgs with his 6th SB of the spring.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Howie Ks on the breaking ball.
Yurg.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
HK swings and misses at a breaking ball, strikes out.
Probably down and away. Gotta stay off that ball, Howie.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Hey remember when trading for Todd Helton was the making the rounds here?
Yeah, glad that didn’t happen.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Yeah, that was another one of those deals that was just bad for any number of reasons.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
wow this guy is boring
bring back the guy from SLC!!!!!!!!!!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
His dayjob is Asst. GM.
Somehow he keeps finding himself in the radio booth.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
perhaps he should be calling other GM's...
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
About what?
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
anything...
to keep him out of the radio booth
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
or a GMJ trade
there are teams looking for outfield help
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
They just mentioned that.
Ken didn’t volunteer anything. I guess that must not be his department.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
yeah i heard that
thats why i mentioned it…. lets hope that there might be something in the works
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
That or he doesn't want to ruin The Ninja's vibe.
Remember, Reagins does best when nobody knows anything is happening.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
good point
i think i might enjoy me some Del here in the next couple of days….
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
2 out double.
Lets go Jered.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Vlad checks in with a 1 out single.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Vladdy base-hit.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Matthews walks.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Lets get some more runs, Kendry.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Morales singles! 9-5 Halos!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
I see a trend.
I predict final score 10-6
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
11-5. So much for that. :P
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
It was a typo
I meant 20-6… yeah, that’s the ticket.
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
Your starting to look more and more right!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
20-6 sounds about right at this rate
halofan1 - March 25, 2009
Is it being played in Colorado?
;)
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
2nd and 3rd, one out on the Wild Pitch.
Rivera base hit!
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Marquis is leaving. 10 ER in 3.1 innings.
Ouch.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
I really hope the guys can carry their hot hitting into the regular season
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Gonna be tough with the season still a week and a half away.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
I'm just talking about generally.
The Angels have hit .310 as a team this spring. They all seem to be taking some good swings right now, and I just hope they keep it up.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Mathis skies one. 2 outs and Juan still on base for
Erick McTriple.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Holy crap, Phys just mentioned Ashley Thompson's blog!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Er, Terry.
I know who our announcers are.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
It's enough to make me wonder if people within the org check this site in the morning.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
I hope they do
BRING THE GUY FROM SLC BACK TO THE BOOT!!!!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
*BOOTH!!!!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
The blog has been mentioned a few places in the last 24 hours
3 days of cryin’, Halos Heaven, my site, 6-4-2, various Twitter accounts, and the OC Register blog.
mattwelch - March 25, 2009
lol @ terry talking about mrs. thompson's blog
ReggieBullits - March 25, 2009
He said it had been making the rounds, does Terry read Halos Heaven?
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
We know for a fact that Arte checks out fansites every one in a while.
Though whether he’s been to HH or not is up in the air.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
GOOGLE ANGELS BLOG
and tell me these people have not been here
Rev Halofan - March 25, 2009
I wonder if these guys found out about the blog via HH
Fan Since 1981 - March 25, 2009
I saw it mentioned on Baseball Musings as well, though they got it from here.
neochoa - March 25, 2009
Aybar making his case for SS.
neochoa - March 25, 2009
BTW, Erick with another basehit, dude is smoking hot.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Figgs walks again. (I LOVE it, Figgs.)
HK up.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Figgy walks, bases juiced for HK47.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
HK with a 2RBI single! 13-5!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
2 more runs HK!!!
13-5
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Howie busts it open!
neochoa - March 25, 2009
well.. busts it open...more.
neochoa - March 25, 2009
"You just cannot throw that man a fastball."
Best line from Forshe so far.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Abreu doubles! 15-5!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Maybe the hitters are spooked at the idea of not having Lackey, Santana and Escobar in the rotation
Fan Since 1981 - March 25, 2009
That or they figure they'd better demonstrate why they aren't worried.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
ABREU!!!!!!!!!!!
with a 2 run double
15-5
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Good god
LOL
angelsown3417 - March 25, 2009
Incidentally, Marquis total went up to 11 ER in 3.1 innings. Ouch.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
For the mathically challenged
That’s a 29.7 ERA for this game.
red floyd - March 25, 2009
An embarassment of riches.
3rd Echelon - March 25, 2009
The rockies are gonna forfeit haha
angelsown3417 - March 25, 2009
I am praying this is a sign of things to come during the season. These are 02
style hit parades.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Yeah, my favorite part of this is that no one is bothering with the deep ball, they're just getting hits.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
"Like a pack of hyenas" - Torii Hunter
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
Vladdy K's. So we must once again settle for 7 runs. >_>
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Vladdy Ks to end it.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
At what point
Does the bench come in and just finish this thing out. Most of these guys have hit at least 4 times today
Jay Cal - March 25, 2009
Still need their fielding practice.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Weaver gives up another homer.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
15-6. Weaver rusty after waiting 20 min. to pitch again.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
oh man Weaver gave up a bomb
15-6
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Another reason to be happy is that this game is all starters.
This game could easily be the opening day lineup.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
We can hope that Torii isn't kept out that long.
Also, while I find Mathis’ spring encouraging, I’d still prefer a healthy Napoli behind the dish.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Weaver done after 4.1.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
You're a poet and didn't know it!
;)
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
I approve these messages.
teopeht - March 25, 2009
Herndon in.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
15-8.
Rockies not going quietly.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
15-8. Herndon not doing a good job of getting things under control.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
come on guys!
WOW the rockies have hit for the cycle in this inning 15-8
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
15-9 now!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
15-9, finally got a second out.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Aybar with another wild throw from short.
Morales apparently only barely got back down on the bag.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
Herndon out of it.
Zu Long - March 25, 2009
wow 4 of the 7 sent to the plate scored
but were out of the inning
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
K's the last man. Keep piling them on, fellas, the other guys aren't finished yet.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Touchdown and a field goal
just might put this one out of reach.
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
They say Ferragamo is warming up on the sidelines.
Fan Since 1981 - March 25, 2009
He could always grip the ball better than Haden.
AND 13 > 11.
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
Naps in to PH for Rivers
I smell a homer.
neochoa - March 25, 2009

what does either smell like?
success and failure?

Shields with a 1-2-3 inning. Nice to know there are some guys
you can always count on.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
Apparently you haven't met Evil Shields
Wytelitning - March 25, 2009
I have, but he doesn't show up much, and Scots as dependable as anyone in the league.
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
outside of Fenway...
just kidding though, I’m actually a big fan of his.
Wytelitning - March 25, 2009

Erick finally retired, and he still got Q to 3rd. Lucky sevens up to bat.

He scores Q, but is out trying to stretch it to a double.

Man, from the sound on the radio broadcast, S-Rod crushed that one.

This game has been dominated by bad pitching.

Just one of those days.
Unfortunately I’m gonna have to miss the rest, here’s hoping we hold out. Go Angels!
TheOptimist - March 25, 2009
GO HALOS!
wallispdub1 - March 25, 2009
Is Fuentes schedules to pitch today?
He needs the work. Fastball has been clocked at only 88-89 mph.
Fan Since 1981 - March 25, 2009
that's just about all his fastball is ever clocked
He succeeds based on his funky, deceptive, short arm delivery
SoCalWine - March 25, 2009
The deception is crucial
But the last few years his fastball usually averaged around 91 mph, topping out at 93, 94. I just hope he can be up to speed at the start of the regular season.
Fan Since 1981 - March 25, 2009
Yeah, it's pretty deceiving ...
whilst he sits on the bench. Hope he gets well soon.
Downing Rules - March 25, 2009
oh man STOP talking about all the injuries from the past..
its making me nervous!!!
