I did not watch tonight’s game live, so more limited thoughts until I get a chance to watch the archive.
Just following on Gameday and looking at the box score, Kurt pulled the right levers once again with the bullpen. And welcome to the Halos, Josh Lowe!
@jeremyruby2 Yeah I actually like Strickland, glad he back. I’ve been a bit indifferent on Taylor but I won’t complain about having another veteran around to fill gaps if needed.
The Angels are 2-0 to start the season for the first time since 2007. Don’t want to jinx it, but tomorrow they will be going for a 3-0 start. 🔥🔥🔥
Definitely fun to start the year like this, and even better seeing them overcome mistakes and still find ways to win when everything is not going perfectly. I know it is only the 2nd game of the season, but a positive is a positive.
Trout, Neto and Lowe all looked good today each hitting a HR
Really happy to see Lowe hit that bomb, surely it meant a little extra because of the circumstances ❤️
The defense really stepped up for Kikuchi tonight and probably saved a few runs.
Silseth, Zeferjahn, Bachman, and Romano were all really good out of the bullpen tonight and we need that to continue tomorrow!
Angels win it 6-2 🔥

A lot to love about Mike Trout's mechanics at the plate so far this season.
Aside from the obvious results, here's what I'm seeing:
- He's stopping his movement sooner to start from the same trajectory each swing
- He's getting his foot down earlier to not get beat by the 🔥
@LockedOnAngels That throw was bad. He should’ve just kept it. Maybe it was me but, I thought they should’ve challenged the pitch that was called a ball.
ANGELS WIN! My thoughts:
- Soriano pitched like the ace the Angels hope him to be
- Trout getting that foot down earlier, love it.
- Bullpen came in and did a great job
- OPENING DAY WIN!
Go Halos 😇
