That bottom four though.

[Homebrewer]

EA batting clean-up.

[QuinlansMinion]

Our slap hitting short stop is batting clean up

[Angelsfirst]

Aybar hitting cleanup!? Iannetta and Joyce in the lineup? 👎

I know Perez needs the day off but damn.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Shoemaker's on the mound, so they're probably just tanking this one anyway and giving the starters a rest day.

if it's not then you just have to lol @ that line up

I see 7 or 8 hits coming from the 7 and 8 holes.

[tdawg87]

We all know this is one of those times where the ridiculous lineup scores 9 runs.

 

Sosh will not be made a fool of.

[Ray McKigney]

Iannetta and Joyce should try this technique out tonight.

I'd rather them glue the bat to their shoulder or stick their face out at one

[tdawg87]

Jimenez career numbers against the Angels: 0-4, 6.12 ERA

 

Angels pls

[AngelsFaninGA]

Just realized we're facing Bud Norris tomorrow. Would've been a good idea to just pitch Shoemaker against him. 

[bloodbrother]

Aybar hitting cleanup and then a bunch of nothing after that. This offense will be an issue all season long. Dipoto will have to work some magic and somehow likely find 2 bats tbh

7, 8 and 9 hitters. Ugh

[CaliAngel]

I can live with Iannetta replacing Perez every so often so he can have a day off.

I think they scratched Bud Norris because he has the flu.

Agreed.

We need a LF or RF I guess and a DH. You'd hate to see them just throw away this year with the division being so weak but I'm not sure they can properly address these needs without selling the farm.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Glad that Iannetta is back in there. We have been scoring far too many runs lately.

[nando714]

Ok we need Cargo or Braun if Aybar is our clean up guy

6 runs tonight

[CanadianHalo]

This game doesn't look like it'll be starting any time soon

[Homebrewer]

The Preakness was run in a steady rain, a few miles away.

Another chance at a Triple Crown this year, as American Pharoah tore it up on the front end, leading almost all the way.. 

[Stradling]

Glad that Iannetta is back in there. We have been scoring far too many runs lately.

Yep, 3.4 runs a game in the last 7 games.

[Ocangelfan]

i think Iannetta will actually have a decent game....the writing is on the wall for him....two or three more donut holes from him and he could be going on DL for migrains

 

frig....look at Dee on marlins....smoking.     altough loving Eck II    johnG  

[Schildog]

any update on start time?
