Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Brewers (3/5)

[Spirit]

[floplag]

and there ladies and gentlemen barring someone having a really good or really bad spring is your opening day lineup pending a little lefty righty changes

[Angelsfirst]

So psyched to get these games going!

[Angel Dog and Beer]

About damn time!

[Chris]

Let's Roll!

[Angel Oracle]

For the first time in 5 months: 

 

PLAY BALL!

[Angel Oracle]

I would change around spots 6-8.

Iannetta

Aybar

Cron

 

We need Iannetta's somewhat power and rock solid OBP higher than 8th.

Keeping Aybar in front of Cron allows Aybar to steal and take 3rd on a single a little more often.

[Diaz15]

Let's go Angels!

[Richard]

WE WILL WIN.

I agree with all these changes.  What the hell is Scioscia thinking?

 

 

 

 

 

*** I actually don't really care, but I am just getting ready for the season.  It is our time to practice and get ready too!

After this line up fiasco, they should just fire Scioscia now, call it a season and start preparing for the 2016 season.

[tdawg87]

Season over

[Spirit]

Failos coming into Spring Training in the best shape of their lives. 

[HaloCory22]

Free Grant Green!

[ItzTacosYerrp]

GO HALOS

[Chris]

That post came out of AO's hand really well.

If I subscribe to one month of MLB.TV can I watch all the spring training games online?

[Troutstanding]

Perhaps Scioscia's reasoning regarding Aybar then Cron then Iannetta is this:

Aybar is a decent enough hitter to be batting sixth. 

Cron has good power but low OBP. It wouldn't be shocking for an inning to end (or go big) after a Cron at bat. 

This means that Iannetta will likely lead off a decent amount of innings. If he does lead off and draws a walk, Rutledge can move him over to second, then Calhoun and more importantly Trout will have the chance to bring him in. 

Just my thoughts. 

[laagamer]

About damn time. 

 

**** basketball. 

[The Dude]

Angels baseball is back baby! Don't care too much about the outcome, just happy to be watching games again...

They better not lose.

[Second Base]

Looks like what I expect the Openeing Day lineup to look like.

Interesting take. My analysis of the line-up is this: IT'S F***ING SPRING TRAINING!!

[fan_since79]

Pujols batting third is like the sun rising in the east.

 

Things that never change.

[WallyWorld]

I like our lineup 1-3. After that . .  .
