Angels Spring Training Victory 12-3

by Rev Halofan on Feb 25, 2009 3:10 PM PST in Angels Postgame

Final in Tempe: Angels 12, Chicago White Sox 3

THE GOOD: King Conger 2-3, 3 RBI

THE BAD: Brandon Wood 0 for 2

THE UGLY: AJ Pierzynski 2 for 3, 2 RBI

But was the highlight Freddy Sandoval going 2 for 3 with 2 RBI, Jose Arredondo striking out 2 in 1 IP or Rich Thompson pitching 2 hitless frames?

Brandon Wood hit both balls VERY hard!!!

Both to the warning track... Couldn't tell about the second one, it sounded like it was a great defensive play.

Conger did it three AB's

whats wrong with Wood?

by BryanHarvey'sMoustache on Feb 26, 2009 3:40 PM PST up reply actions

MLB network had highlights and showed both AB’s. First one Dye crashed against the fence and caught it. Second one was to dead center and the CF appeared to pull it back. If it wasn’t over it was damm close to it!

crap

i was hoping to see the highlights.

can anyone find them online?

Kotch would've had that.

0 for 2

I’ll take 0-2 if it’s not 0- 2, 2K’s

What about my boy, NAPS?

420+ feet...

I’ll take a couple of those from Wood every game. Not all yards are built the same

? Where did you get that number?

Not disputing you. Just been out with clients all day and just now checking in.

CF wall

Wood flew out to dead center, with CF making a leaping catch at the wall. Dead center is 420 feet, so it was hit about that, but not more.

thx

by Stirrups on Feb 25, 2009 10:24 PM PST up reply actions

Ummm...

I got the 420 number from Terry as he made the call, and correct me if I’m wrong but if the base of the wall is 420 feet from home plate, and the CF leaped to make the catch, than the ball was most definately hit more than 420 feet.

I’m not a math guy by any means though.

by Wytelitning on Feb 26, 2009 9:18 AM PST up reply actions

or Shields striking out Thome...

by BryanHarvey'sMoustache on Feb 25, 2009 4:44 PM PST reply actions

i think there were other players worse than Wood

he many have gone 0-2, but as people said, both balls were hit extremely hard and caught at the wall. in Anaheim, he probably goes 2-2 with 2 HRs.

how about Morales going 0-3?

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Feb 25, 2009 5:34 PM PST reply actions

i really dont want people to get in the habit of freaking out over these games

maybe in a month we can draw SOME sort of conclusion but 2-3 ABs is just borderline ridiculous

by ihearhowie2.0 on Feb 25, 2009 5:57 PM PST up reply actions

howies gone wild?

by Halotosis on Feb 25, 2009 6:02 PM PST up reply actions

yup hitting the ball hard and getting out..........is 1000000% better than 0-2 with 2K

12/19/08 - Thank you KLJ for coming into my life.

by norcaliangelsfan on Feb 25, 2009 8:13 PM PST up reply actions

um.. yes?

we all know bwood has trouble with K’s, so its alot nicer to see him hit outs at the wall than it is to see him K..

Off Topic

But not worth it’s own post: I had lunch at Roscoe’s today. The barmaid doesn’t think that Rex Hudler will be back this summer. Seems that whatever beer sponsored the show (or remote) was bought out (Coors??) and the cost of each of Rex’s visits is $3,000 – so it all seems unlikely.

Sad. My work schedule prevented me from catching the show and hopping on the train last year, but I could have worked it out this season. Bummer.

I like the Good, Bad and Ugly feature.

Could that be an ongoing part of the outcome Posts, or is that too much to ask? Also: how fitting that the first “ugly” was awarded to Arrogant Jerk-off.

Apologies in advance.
