Scioscia talking about Kendrys on Jim Rome Today

"He is running on a treadmill that deweights him. He is running at about 90% of his body weight. He is killing the ball in BP.

Thanks. Post fail.

Willits? Check. Reagins? Check. Mathis? Check

Glad to hear he is talking about Morales

I thought it was either him or Trumbo. Do you know how Trumbo is coming along in his recovery?

Fight on!
EMAW!

Trumbo is feeling great

Running with no pain but still re-habbing per the team’s request/command.

Scioscia said that about Jim Rome?

I always took him for a bit of a fruit booty. Nice to know he can hit i guess

This makes me so excited for the season

getting Pujols and Kendrys completely changes the offense of this team. With our pitching, we could win 100 games easy.

Interesting...

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Whoa - let's slow down, people...

Running at 90% of your bodyweight on an assisted treadmill is NOT the same as running at 90% total capacity. It sounds like he has a ways to go.

I'm into the pain...

I Don't Get My Hopes Up

Because a healthy core of Pujols and Morales is a serious backbone. Torii Hunter is actually still pretty great when he’s not injured; he just plays injured half the time.

Torii as a number 5 batter is great. Torii as a 3 or 4 like he has been is below average.

So he's running at 360 pounds?

I guess this is good news, although I hope they got a heavy duty treadmill.

He actually looked fairly slim to me when I saw him in the dugout at the end of the season.

by Rally Manatee on Dec 15, 2011 1:49 PM PST up reply actions  

Not bad news....

Just not great news either. He’s further along than he was last offseason, when in February, if I remember correctly, he had just barely been cleared to run on a treadmill deweighted. He cleared that hurdle, but once he started running unassisted he was never able to go 100%. And remember he was crushing the ball in bp then too.

So, we continue to wait and hope until something more materializes.

Hmm

This is coming from a guy who paid a clubhouse assistant to ride the bike on his behalf when he was a dodger.

by Dfresh on Dec 15, 2011 1:22 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

In BP, Wood crushed them over the fence and Mathis crushed them high and deep to second base.

After this off-season, I have no recollection of this Del Ninja character we use to discuss.

by snowhor on Dec 15, 2011 1:40 PM PST up reply actions   1 recs

The Point Is

hitting is not the issue with Morales. And the fact that he is even taking BP, something he couldn’t do on crutches or in a cast. So the fact that he’s taking BP is what I take from this.

by jjackflash on Dec 15, 2011 4:25 PM PST up reply actions  

Me too.

I also think about the fact that he most likely is torquing/putting pressure on his bad leg while “crushing BP.” I am glad he is able to do that

Willits? Check. Reagins? Check. Mathis? Check

by hauldog on Dec 15, 2011 4:49 PM PST up reply actions  

This sounds like last February

In that case, he seems to be about 3 months ahead of last year’s schedule. I don’t think the Angels have any plans on him playing a lot of first, so maybe he will be fine to DH when the season starts.

by JeffJoiner on Dec 15, 2011 1:27 PM PST reply actions  

I'm going a little nuts having to wait for Spring Training.

but I guess K-mo could probably benefit from all the time he can get.

by river-z on Dec 15, 2011 1:35 PM PST reply actions  

I'll go ahead and be optimistic

I guess it’s better to get my hopes and be disappointed than to not get my hopes up and still be disappointed.

Trying not to get my hopes up

But if he could somehow return to 2009 form, Angels have to be THE favorite in MLB

by stevefinleyallstars on Dec 15, 2011 1:56 PM PST reply actions  

I would love to have a healthy 100% Kowbell in the line up.

But i’ll believe it when I see it.

i think i share the same attitude

As many of us on here.
Expect the worst, pray for the best..

Im also not getting my hopes up, but dude it would be soooo sick if kendry came back with 90% of his former power with atleast 70% of his former speed. He might not be able to go First to Third ever again but if he could still hit some doubles on deep balls to the gap then i could really live with that.

by C.A._Rep_Los_ANGELS on Dec 15, 2011 2:24 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

Would be nice to see some lefty power in the line up again...

I could be wrong, but I think the only home run an angel lefty hit into the RF pavilion was Branyan’s vs the Dodgers. I miss those.

by BigGame48 on Dec 15, 2011 2:50 PM PST up reply actions  

Ah yes... one.

According to the ESPN HR tracker 2 of Bobby’s 3 HRs he hit at the big A landed over in the old bullpen area down the line….

His bomb off Rich Harden on 9/25 landed in the RF pavilion. I missed that one.

by BigGame48 on Dec 15, 2011 3:13 PM PST up reply actions  

I believe a healthy Morales....

is the key to the next few seasons. I

f he can be the 2009 version of Morales, having the 1-2 punch of Pujols & Morales will make us a whole lot better than any other combo of players on our team.

Soth could use some of that deweighting.

Napoli's 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th homers of the year (four more than Jeff Mathis' career total) rained down on Angel Stadium like knives from the ceiling.

why did we sign Pujols if he is better

wait it is Pujols so who cares

by DAD OF VLAD on Dec 15, 2011 5:00 PM PST reply actions  

But what i really want to know......

Does that extra 10% of the weight come from the “s” at the end of his first name….. because if so, I gots me a solution

When I flip a coin I dont say heads or tails, I say Halos or Spurs

by ItCouldHappen on Dec 15, 2011 5:28 PM PST reply actions  

Off-season is less than half over

We have quite a ways to go yet. And there’s still some work for the Angels to do and figure out.

The more thought I’ve given to Pujols, it’s obviously imperative we have a big bat behind him, and a healthy Kendrys is the only one who really can fill that (huge) void completely. Hunter, Wells, Trumbo, etc just won’t get it done day in and day out.

Listening to Jim Rome

is like listening to Colin Cowherd, in that all I want to do is punch them in the throat.

by Halos in DE on Dec 15, 2011 6:06 PM PST up reply actions  

I actually like Rome.

Cowherd is an idiot most of the time but Rome actually says it was it is. I would notn compare them to each other.

Mathis is finally gone. Only good things can happen now.

by Angelsrthebest101 on Dec 15, 2011 6:22 PM PST up reply actions  

Both are blowhards

They have different styles, but Jim Rome has a schtick just as much as Cowherd does. Rome’s is “telling it like it is,” which is just another way of saying “his opinion, but really loud and forceful.”

Wells for Napoli - that's gonna get you back to the playoffs?

What?

Yeah, I don’t think so, Tony Reagins. Is this the same guy that went out and scored Dan Haren? Did you wake up on the wrong side of a bottle of Jack that morning, take out your phone, dial the youngest GM you could think of and hope you could outsmart the new guy on the block? How’s that hangover feelin’ a year later?

Not gonna work.
Nope.
Done.

I used to think so too

And I still don’t like his TV show, but if you listen to his radio show enough, it grows on you. His “schtick” works. And his callers and e-mailers are really what make the show great. I don’t always agree with his takes, but I went from hating his guts to loving him after I started listening to his radio show more extensively. Total 180.

i loved Rome early on

but as always the minute he has access to star players he lays off them. human nature, bit killed it for me.

Pujols-Morales (circa '09)

would be possibly the best 3-4 punch in baseball.

To go with the best 1-2-3-4 rotation in baseball.

This is a sig.

My Morales jersey has been partially mauled by the washing machine

Hoping it gets back to the field at the same time Kendrys does.

I’m going to be optimistic

Because that’s all I can be. Fortunately the 1st half of the season is softer then the 2nd half so realistically if he can get back to some kind of form by the break we will be in really good shape
