Digging the lineup. Should see some good offense today.

[LetsGoHalos]

Opening day line up with Aybar instead of Romine of course.

and Trumbo at DH and Bourjos in CF. Or Trout in CF and Wells in LF with the way he's playing. 

[jshep]

I'm going to guess Trumbo won't be DHing on Opening Day.

hehe.

will be interesting to see who the odd man out is on Opening Day.  I guess Bourjos, with Trumbo playing LF and Trout CF gives us the most offense, which we will probably need against CIN.

The Angels will probably also need a lot of defense playing in that small ballpark with the Reds good offense. Bourjos and Trumbo will probably both start at least one game.

If you based the opening day lineup on spring training results thus far, Trumbo would be on the bench and Hamilton would be right there with him.

Bourjos in CF, Trout in LF, Wells in RF, Conger as DH.     

[Wallerrrr]

looks good.

i smell a tie!

[nate]

Wonder if Vargas will be allowed to hit.

 

Also, I fully expect Trumbo to play the OF in NL parks.

Is Pujols running the bags?

He's been running for himself the past few games.

[bloodbrother]

He'll be allowed to stand at the plate and not swing the bat

[jshep]

I do wonder if Scioscia will have the pitchers at least bunting here.

 

He hasn't done it in the past, but we also haven't been starting the season playing NL ball in the past

Nope, they're taking three strikes.

Schoolboy error Chuck

Yeah, still hasn't sunk in that we're playing an NL team on opening day. 

 

Weird. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Seems like Scosh is covering his ears and going "LALALALALALALALALALALALA."

 

This interleague thing is really happening, it's all year long, and it starts opening day. Having our pitchers pretend they aren't going to bat at all this season put our team at a disadvantage.

For a manager that is supposedly focused on intangibles and fundamentals, it's weird.  

[PercySquint]

Since this is a must-win, I hope Vargas jacks one out, and gets fined by Scioscia for swinging the bat.

I don't get it. Now there are 16 teams in the league - absolutely no reason why anyone should have to start against an NL team!

[Glen]

Terry and Jose seem excited that we might get to see Chris Snyder play today.  

 

I know I can't wait!

[Aaronkv]

Anyone else having problems with getting the MLB.com audio feed of the game to work?

 

 

EDIT; Working now.
