Torre Talks Baserunning
Quote:
Dodgers' Torre was touched by the Angels
VERO BEACH, Fla. -- There is a team that Dodgers Manager Joe Torre frequently references when talking about what he wants to see from his own: the Angels.
"Very distracting," Torre called their style.
Torre would know. During his 12-year stint managing the New York Yankees, the Angels were the only American League team to post a winning record against them, beating them in 61 of 116 regular-season games. He remembers the kind of pressure put on Yankees pitchers when Chone Figgins or Howie Kendrick would gallop from first to third on a single.
What Torre hopes is that the Dodgers can torment their opponents the same way.

Full story.
Well... that's nice. It's good to see that Torre and the Dodgers will make a strong commitment to fundamentals... something neither have a good reputation for.
