Royalty come inside, and Angels aren't happy about this
Thursday's exhibition game between your Angels and Might - an 11-8 Angels victory - didn't do anything to enhance relations between Angels Manager Mike Scioscia and Royalty Manager Ned Yost.
Following the Royalty obtained seven runs within the first couple of innings, the Angels countered towards the bottom from the second with consecutive home runs by Kendrys Morales, Mark Trumbo and Hank Conger. Everett Teaford's next pitch hit Peter Bourjos, which elevated the ire from the center fielder and also the Angels dugout.
"I do not think anybody loved that," Scioscia stated. "Our guy [Eric Hurley] was getting knocked around within the first inning, and that we did not throw at anybody. You come up with better pitches. It had been uncalled for."
Teaford desired to show up as well as in on Bourjos but stated there is no "malicious intent" hitting him.
"He's on the top from the plate, and that i feel he even leaned in it some," Teaford stated. "It went right to the backstop, therefore it wasn't like I squared him up within the back. I suppose they tend not to be pitched up as well as in. That's a part of the overall game sometimes.
"I wasn't attempting to hit him within the mind. These were mad. Sorry, I suppose, although not really sorry."
These teams open the standard season in Angel Stadium next Friday evening, so it will likely be interesting to ascertain if hostilties continue.
