Despite the Angels' poor performance last year and a projected loss of over $50 million this season, manager Ron Washington expresses optimism during spring training. He emphasizes the importance of this time for preparation and skill improvement, reflecting on the potential for a turnaround. Washington recalls his previous experience turning struggling teams into successful contenders, underscoring the belief that a reset is crucial. Catcher Logan O'Hoppe shares this sentiment, stating that everyone appreciates the fresh start that spring brings, highlighting the hope that comes with a new season.
"It's always important to have a reset. And that's what spring training is," Washington said. "We've got a group that's been impressive as far as going about their business."
"You know you can talk, but you've just got to walk the walk. In the game of baseball, it's always about: What have you done for me lately?"
"Spring training. You've got a chance to prepare. You've got a chance to get your skill set right."
"Everyone always loves a clean slate," O'Hoppe said.
