So Tyler finally pitched for the AZ Angels and struck out 2 and got a flyout in his only inning of work. Good Job Tyler!

The more amazing part however is that the Angels won the game 2-1 without even getting a hit. I'm glad to see the Angels have the A's number even all the way down in rookie ball.

His worst comment was the following.

As for the potential health risks? "It might be dangerous," he said, according to the report, "but so is drinking and driving. And how many of us do it at least once a year? Pretty much everybody."

Personally I'm offended that he has such a low view of mankind. Most people DO NOT go drinking and driving once per year and the fact that Bronson wants to say that to try and justify his scumbag life makes me sick.

How many more fellow posters have never gone drinking and driving?

Also I realize some people do go drinking and driving but of those people most of them won't try to rationalize it by saying everyone is doing it like Arroyo here.

A lineup with 9 .300 hitters?

If Mike Napoli can increase his average a few points, he's at .294 right now, and Torii can get back soon, then the Angels could possibly throw out a lineup with every single player batting .300.

 

Right now it's

 

Figgy  300

Abreu 313

Vlad 303

Hunter 305

Morales 301

Rivera 307

Napoli 294

Aybar 307

Izzy 301

 

Is there any way to see if that feat have every been accomplished this late in the season or with every player having a certain number of ABS?  Vlad is the lowest at 208.

 

Anyway I would love to see an all .300 lineup even for one day.  I realize the chances of it aren't all that great since like everyone even right now is one bad week from going to like 280, but still it's impressive that they even have a chance IMO.

"Thank God they're getting out of here," Twins right fielder Denard Span said. "The last two days, they were just pretty much stealing our lunch money, kicking our butts."

I've been an Angels fan my entire life and the times the Angels offense have clicked like this for such an extended period have been few and far between.

Well done Angels!

Grichuk went 6-7 with 3 doubles

Trout went 2-2 with 4 walks in his pro debut.

Congrats to some of our youngest Angels!

Names of Angels Signed Draft Picks

Angels have signed Grichuk, Kehrer, Corbin, and Reynolds. Reynolds sounds like a steal in the 6th round, a HS arm that can throw mid-90's with a great work ethic. Arizona state moved on with Josh Spence getting the W, Carlos Ramirez went 1-2 with 3 walks, and the time he did make an out it was a liner right to 2B. Hopefully the Angels sign them soon after the CWS ends so they can go to Orem together.

If you tune to ESPN they are showing the Az State vs UNC game and the battery for the Sun Devils are both Angels draft picks. So far Spence has gotten through 3 scoreless innings.

Free Brandon Wood

Hey HH! 

This is the only Angels site I'm a part of.  Many of us here are in a state of disbelief that the Angels have been struggling to score runs and they have a guy tearing it up in AAA and he's still there.

 

So I took some initiative and made a little Facebook group so that we can all show our support of B Wood. 

 

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=97791188265

If the link doesn't work then just search Brandon Wood and look for his picture.

 

I made sure there wasn't a similar group before creating ours.  If you want to join I will made you an admin in the group if you reply to this thread.

 

With any luck Brandon Wood might see LA again before he's eligible to rent a car on his own.....

Putting up a 1400+ OPS in May. Also notice how in May he is controlling the strikezone much better with 8 BB's to only 12 K's.

Also S-Rod is probably one of the most fundamentally sound guys the Angels have in their system and plays great D with his father being a coach.

Personally this would be my lineup.

Figgins RF
Abreu DH
Torii CF
Morales 1B
Naps C
Rivera LF
Wood 3B
Aybar SS
S-Rod 2B

Glad to see Frankie is passing out Christmas presents because his first year in NY isn't looking so hot.

He's already not their "full-time" closer and he has to wear good ole #75.
