Description
We're happy to welcome back our good friend and fellow Angel fan Andrew of @angels_topplays on Instagram and @PlaysAngels on Twitter! Andrew lends his insight and knowledge of our favorite team as we discuss the return of baseball and what's happened in Spring Training so far. Angels' GM Perry Minasian signed two of the top relievers in the game in Archie Bradley and Ryan Tepera, greatly improving the pen and making us confident to turn the ball over for the first time in years! The Bros. ask the question; should the Angels add more to the pitching staff? (3:38) Even though the Halos didn't sign top free-agent shortstops Carlos Correa or Trevor Story, Jon thinks that there is a shortstop silver lining, and the guys discuss the potential starter for Opening Day. (18:33) We had some breaking news on Tuesday, as the MLBPA and MLB agreed to a new set of rules, including the "Ohtani Rule," which will allow starting pitchers in the batting order to remain in the game at DH once their start comes to an end. It's good news for the Angels, and we take a look at how this will benefit the team this season. (32:26) Andrew and the Halo Bros. have a round of "What I Noticed..." and discuss what has stood out to them about the team so far this spring, including Reid Detmers' incredible start on Sunday, Jo Adell's improvements, and much more. (37:47) Joe Maddon has said he'd like to give a 1-2-3 of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and Anthony Rendon a try at the top of the order, and the guys discuss how they'd fill out the rest of the lineup, 4-9. (47:37) Finally, we discuss new Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki's love and admiration of Mike Trout and discuss what the GOAT needs to do this season to establish his legacy as the best in the game. (56:39) Be sure to give us a follow and jump in the conversation over on Twitter and Instagram @superhalobros for more Angels content! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/super-halo-bros/support
