Joe Maddon to instruct Angels not to throw at Astros

When the Halos open up the season as the Astros’ first opponent following the sign-stealing scandal going public, Joe Maddon doesn’t want his pitchers making target practice of Astros hitters.

Maddon told reporters that he will instruct his pitchers not to throw at Astros players.

“I’m going to have a talk with the boys about not doing anything,” Maddon said. “I think it’s more, appreciate to play the game. I think this has been bandied about enough. There’s no other way. It’s been sliced and diced. It’s been in the Veg-O-Matic long enough. Let’s go play baseball, let’s get things back together properly, let’s be civil about this and move on.
