Hamilton is hitting 5th

[WallyWorld]

let's credit MS for making the change.  Hopefully this helps Hamilton out . . 

[Spirit]

If you're going to move him, I say move him.  Put him down at 6th, 7th or 8th.

[nando714]

Wont hurt to try

Tired of AP getting the IBB treatment

[Ray McKigney]

Now we get to watch Trumbo's IBB numbers skyrocket.

[tdawg87]

Now we get to watch Trumbo's IBB numbers skyrocket.

 

OBP!

[Glen]

OBP!

 

 

Yeah you know me.

[The God of Runs]

I predict a 13-10 Halo victory.

[RePLAY]

oh noes..now they're gonna walk Pujols and Trumbo!! argh!

[fan_since79]

I'll give Scioscia credit for making the move. I thought it would be another month at least before he did something. 

 

Of course, Hamilton would be better off in the 6 or 7-spot, but this is a start.

[gotbeer]

oh noes..now they're gonna walk Pujols and Trumbo!! argh!

 

 

And get a triple play.  6 to 4 to 3 to 5.  

[Bombsauce]

Hard to believe I'm happy to see a changed lineup. Hope this jump starts Hamilton! Nice reward for Trumbo too!

[AZMike]

And get a triple play.  6 to 4 to 3 to 5.  

 

With the Angels' runnyball tendencies they might be able to turn the classic 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play.

[arch stanton]

Probably just a one game change with Holland starting tonight. I'd bet Hamilton goes back to 4th against Ogando and Yu.

 

Might be a good time to tell Blanton that after the 13 inning game he's on his own for 6 innings no matter the score.

[CaliAngel]

Trumbo has earned his wings.

 

Hamilton needs to get his head out of his ass!

 

Lets beat these turds!

[2002_halos_II]

Go Angels

[Redondo]

Like to see Hamilton do some damage tonight.

[Eric]

Every game against Tejas and Oakland this year is doubly important. The Angels NEED to make up ground against these teams.

Tonight is a MUST win.

[tdawg87]

You know what would be pretty neat? If the Angels won tonight.

[nando714]

C'mon Blanton do something right tonight besides attacking the buffet after. 

[Scott34]

With the Angels' runnyball tendencies they might be able to turn the classic 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play.

As the old saying goes.....

[gotbeer]

Wow.  Tim Salmon leads the Angels in game winning homers with 6.  Brian Downing is at 5.  Mark Trumbo is already at 4.  

[gotbeer]

Or did I hear that wrong, and they were just comparing Salmon and Downing.

 

Crap Blanton.  Not a good start.

[nando714]

shocker

[bloodbrother]

Blanton off to his usual start.
