The ball looks better out of Kazmir’s hand, but I have no idea what the velocity is. That slider or changeup just hung up there though to Ramirez.

Yep, I was pleasantly surprised by how well Kazmir did.
I was half expecting him to explode at any moment, but he didn’t.
Good job Scott.
It's only one ST outing, but if our 5th starter is pitching like this I'm stoked
If Weave or Haren gave us 3 innings and not runs in this situation we’d be pretty darn pleased about it
I take full credit

That should translate into velocity with all that momentum going forward.

The lanky guys are the ones with great momentum
It’s just easier to accelerate and thus increase the velocity component of momemtum. Sure his mass is bigger, but it’s at the expense of velocity.

Yes.
White Sox belong on the list of teams to root against.

I guess if his spring perfomance warrants a spot on the big club
Then it helps the ChiSox move towards getting off the enemy list.
But in questions of “how should I feel about rooting for this player?” I’d side with rooting against the White Sox.

For a first outing, Takahashi battled through just about every type of adversity there.

HK47!
That’s a good piece of hitting. He will have plenty of those opportunities this year.
Our offense really is troubling, no?
Early ST suggests the obvious:
1. Our pitching is really good.
2. Our defense is average, save for Bourjos and our AA/AAA guys.
3. Our offense is really worrisome.
The subtraction of Napoli really didn’t help. I honestly still don’t get how that made a whit of sense in any universe. We could have had Wells and Napoli no problem if the FO really wanted Wells.
And Mathis will get the starting catcher job out of ST just for showing up.
It is obvious now Conger is out of the running. He is not getting much playing time.

You could always fall back on the best scouting report ever
“He’s a young guy starting to come into his own. He still needs to work on control and learn how to stay within his mechanics. If he keeps progressing and listening to his coaches, it won’t be long before we see him in the bigs.”
I should write for a baseball magazine.

Empathy is one thing
Rooting is another.
I have teams I’d like to see do well when playing others (Brewers, Marlins, Pads, Rays).
But I can’t say I root for them.
"I have something 95 percent of all those All-Stars only wish they had: a World Series ring. If I had to choose between that and being an All-Star, it would be no contest. I’d grab the gold ring and never look back." -Tim Salmon
Funny
thats close to my list. How can you not root for the Brewers? I like the Pirates and used to root for the Expos…once Rays got good I only root for them against MFY and Bos
"We are not on an austerity program," Arte Moreno
I'm willing to root for Scioscia's pedigree
Thus the Rays and Pads make the list.
I have no good reason for the Brew Crew except that they represent the same thing the Angels do. An underappreciated perennial contender who will upset the big dogs every now and then.
"I have something 95 percent of all those All-Stars only wish they had: a World Series ring. If I had to choose between that and being an All-Star, it would be no contest. I’d grab the gold ring and never look back." -Tim Salmon
Right
That’s an important distinction.
Though if a Scioscia mentee went to an AL West team, it’d be weird.
"I have something 95 percent of all those All-Stars only wish they had: a World Series ring. If I had to choose between that and being an All-Star, it would be no contest. I’d grab the gold ring and never look back." -Tim Salmon
Roenicke is the Brewer's manager now
So that aligns with your Scioscia’s pedigree
That's right.
Forgot about that.
Saw him at a Del Taco last year.
"I have something 95 percent of all those All-Stars only wish they had: a World Series ring. If I had to choose between that and being an All-Star, it would be no contest. I’d grab the gold ring and never look back." -Tim Salmon
Perhaps
I should have said, more accurately, passively root for.
Unlike this cat, my love for the LAA will never die.
Guidelines for Halo NL Team Support:
1) Angels must be eliminated from regular season or post season.
2) Team must not be the Dodgers.
3) #2 is void if it is the World Series and the AL representative is any of the following: Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, A’s, Mariners.

I would say the Dodgers are even ok against:

I've rooted for the Cardinals in the past.
They wear red and have plenty of players in common between them and Angels.
"To Halowood - Avoid the Clap." - Jimmy Dugan
I kinda like following the Rockies here in Colorado.
decent team. no real animosity (or even any connection) between them and the angels.
Wouldn't you know,
The game I miss is the game we win. Guess I should stop watching Halo games.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Any reports on Kazmir's velocity or slider?
Can he throw harder than Miley Cyrus yet?
