Play-by-play
I know that 9 out of 39 folks responding to the poll on “Tips for Noobs” don’t want play-by-play, but I for one would appreciate at least some batter-by-batter type info (as in the previous ST game threads). Thank you!
I would like play-by-play too please.
I’d also like the gameday link if anyone has it….please and thanks.

There's been a lot of empty seats
Is it because it’s early in the spring season, or is that normal for weekday games?
whoa
that was a pretty intense double play. Reckling ended up tagging out the player in the pickle. But only 1 run scored! 1-0 Cinci.

ball hit to SS
Aybar fumbles gets the guy at 2nd
guy going to 3rd is mental and stuffs and gets caught in a run down
so 1 run score going to the bottom of the 2nd

Now that is Scioscia style baseball fan members.
Classic run down play perfectly executed, this makes the skipper happy to see that…

in a run down
its supposed to be 3 throws right? they threw it like 6 times

Come on man, this is spring training. Sometimes it takes a few extra throws for some guys.

Looking to see Juan Rivera hit that first dinger of the year.
The 2009 Pregame Picks Winner and Iron Man of Halos Heaven.com
sorry
just a ground-out to 3B. But Juan looked good running it out. Must’ve been those 13 pounds he lost.

hmm..
effect = brought about by a cause or agent; a result.
affect = To have an influence on or effect a change in.
so based on that, you’re wondering if Rivera losing weight will AFFECT him.
The EFFECT of Naopli losing weight has caused him to hit 2 bombs already.

Technically, according to the great Soth,
“rolling the hole” refers to hitting the ball through the hole to the opposite field. But I’ll most certainly take a “roll the hole” to Woody’s pull side!

I was referring to our manager
Don’t know if it was before your time here, but “Soth” is an infamous typo from a game thread, and since Scioscia is usually fairly difficult to spell for some people, it stuck as our shorthand when posting quickly in game threads.
Sooo ready for the season to start! Go Angels!
There is a rebel alliance that hates Soth
and just types Sosh. I being one of them.
I dislike greatly thinking of Sloths when thinking of the Angels most luminous manager.
I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....
Most luminous!
I kind of drift back and forth between Soth and Sosh, depending on what keys my fingers are closest to on my keyboard. Kind of GA if you ask me..

thats about it, besides Wood getting a base-hit.
I’m kind of disappointed that Reckling showed no control. Here’s hoping he figures something out this year and puts it all together..

I heard he was squeezed on one of the walks.
and he only ended up giving up one run. I think it is a good start and surely, he has work to do at Salt Lake.

by Downing Rules on Mar 10, 2010 2:51 PM PST up reply actions
I wasn't so much disappointed with the results.
In fact, I was sort of impressed at his composure getting out of the jams he put himself it. He just wasn’t throwing strikes like he was in his last ST appearance. Maybe I’m just too excited about this guy, but 3 BB’s, 2 WP’s, and a HBP is pretty wild.

Well it is only ST-SOS looked pretty good.
And Rafael Rodriguez didn’t implode.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
RafRod "didn't implode"?
Are you referring to the stats in the boxscore, or did you actually see him pitch?
He came in with the 2 runners on, 0 outs, and managed to not only get out of the inning without letting the inherited runners score, but also pitched a 2nd perfect inning to close out the game. It doesn’t seem like you’re giving him any credit for some awesome work today.
Sooo ready for the season to start! Go Angels!
I meant he didn't let the situation he inherited,
Spiral out of control, and pitched out of the jam. Lets face it, that could have been way uglier if he HAD imploded.

The game was as exciting as watching concrete cure for the first 7 innings.
Then Brazier (pronounced it like a women’s bra)? came in and built a great bonfire.
The, RafRod came in and put out the fire. Apparently, all of our batters were required to wear blindfolds to make it fair.
