Mike Trout® CF
Albert Pujols® 1B
Kole Calhoun(L) RF
David Freese® 3B
Matt Joyce(L) LF
Johnny Giavotella® 2B
Drew Butera® C
Hector Santiago® P

 

The good:

Calhoun staying @ cleanup

Iannetta on the pine

 

The bad:

Pujols still clogging up the middle of the lineup

Keep Johnny G @ leadoff and move Pujols to 5th

 

The ugly:

Joyce

[tdawg87]

Pujols: 4-4, 2 HR, 8 RBI

[bloodbrother]

Interesting. Wonder if this is what we'll see going forward with Calhoun staying in the cleanup spot

 

Aybar as the leadoff hitter stinks though

[jsnpritchett]

Interesting.  I thought Pujols was going to sit out this whole series?

[mulwin444]

Calhoun clearly has the pop of a run producer so somewhere batting 2 through 5 works. With the way Johnny G has hit, you'd want him leading off you'd think but lacks the "vet" stench Mike seems to covet above actual on -field production

Sigh.............if Mike can just switch Aybar and Johnny G.................

[shellback]

freese needs to sit

[jsnpritchett]

Angels' hitters really putting up a fight early...

This offense has AIDS

Aybar leading off.

Keep banging your head against that wall, mike. You might eventually breakthrough.

[CaliAngel]

Guess we're just gonna have to get used to Aybar in the leadoff spot.

 

Pujols does not belong in the 3 hole anymore.

 

Scioscia's lineups make my head hurt.

[Mark68]

Down by two.

 

Game over.

[CaliAngel]

Enthralling first 2 innings of offense we're having here boys.

[Guest]

Matt Joyce is utter trash. He can't hit, he can't get on base, he can't field, he can't throw. What's his purpose exactly? I hate this dude.

I think he got a hit once.

[Ohtaniland]

Wow double steal. They know.....

[Guest]

Lol @ the double steal. 

[Ohtaniland]

Start the no no chat early. That might help.

[Glen]

It's amazing that our catchers excel in exactly zero aspects of the game.

[tdawg87]

This team is Corky

[mp170.6]

Crazy that Tim Hudson will turn 40 in July. 

[jsnpritchett]

This team is Corky

 

This offense isn't even Corky.  They're Corky's girlfriend, Amanda.

 

[jsnpritchett]

Trout!
