I really wish Scioscia would move Calhoun back to leadoff. Move Freese to cleanup and put Aybar at 5 or 6.

[CaliAngel]

Yup Kole is a better batter in the leadoff spot IMO as well, and Aybar is a better batter somewhere further down the lineup.

[Hollyw00d]

chris archer is a beast, the bats are gonna have to be on point tonight.  cj too

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Probably good to give Trout a rest. At least we still have his bat in the lineup.

Looking forward to see if Joyce can continue his hot streak. Why is Trout at DH? I thought Pujols was off 1B indefinitely

I think it is just what Angel Dog and Beer said. Just giving Trout some rest. Thursday is an off/travel day and then they don't have many off days in the next few weeks. I think maybe one.

I just hope Pujols doesn't hurt himself at 1B. He had been flourishing as a DH.

He did alright last night at the plate and playing first.

[Jimmag]

Like lineup need to make most of it against Archer

[CaliAngel]

Tickets down to $16 for lower view row A on stubhub.

 

Not a bad price, might go check out the game tomorrow, haven't been yet this season.

Probably just to get him off his feet. A lot of games without a day off.

[jsnpritchett]

Whoa.  How'd that one get out? 

[Jason]

Alright, crap CJ tonight

[AngelsFaninGA]

More 2 out runs

[fan_since79]

Against Archer, 2-0 feels more like 10.

[jsnpritchett]

The "I...Love...You" portion of the Fountain Valley Bodyworks commercial is unquestionably the worst part.

[tdawg87]

Can we please trade CJ before he completely ruins his value?

The rest of the league knows what he is. I doubt he's fooling anybody with his early season success

[Stradling]

Shit, he tried to go the other way

[Guest]

terrible base running

I love how people seem to think that major league general managers would get fooled by hot streaks  that are blatantly obvious to random fans on forums.

 

Of course, the Vernon Wells trade happened so anything is possible, I suppose.

and the GMJ signing

 

and the Trumbo trade

after that fluke HR in the first and Alberts lineout, it looks like the baseball gods are not in our favor tonight.

 

1 week self-ban if the Angels win this game.

This Archer fellow looks like he has some potential to make it into that douchebag thread.

He's going to be a pain in the Angels' butt for sure
