Rangers @ Angels 4/7 7:05

[Redondo]

Wow, Pujols got robbed

[daygloman]

 Off to the top of the 2nd.

[eligrba4ever]

​Albert pulls it to Beltre. Inning over.

[Broad Street]

22 pitch inning though. That's good to see.

[CaliAngel]

Pujols, please stop pulling the ball.

[AngelsLakersFan]

The lineup is very poor so it likely doesn't matter much what they do but I still don't get why Trout isn't batting 2nd with Calhoun 3rd.

 

Lineup construction matters even more when you can't hit.

[Docwaukee]

I wish we had a 3bman.  

[CaliAngel]

Calhoun does not belong in the 6 hole.

Yeah, but I can't be bothered to care much since this team isn't going anywhere this season. Still though, out of all the position players to go with in that 2 spot ahead of Trout, Sosh decides on the junk they're throwing out in LF.

[RuledByNone]

There's the "wasting mike trout" comment.

[Redondo]

G with a nice defensive play

[bloodbrother]

Well, Gia has made some nice plays so perhaps there is hope for him with the glove. Cron and Escobar looking like butchers so far

Can you blame them?

G with a nice defensive play

I was impressed!

[CaliAngel]

I kinda like this shift on every batter thing.

[Skankhunt42]

Trout is the Dan Marino of baseball

Escobar is a disaster.  How this guy was ever a ss is beyond me. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

G with a nice defensive play

He called Hector, San Diego

[jsnpritchett]

Hector...from 1-2 to walking Andrus.  Jesus, he's frustrating to watch.  He really is CJ 2.0.

[Broad Street]

Here comes the dreaded 2 out run.

[eligrba4ever]

Karros' Angels key to the game: Pitch efficiently. Somebody forgot to tell Hector.

Yep. Pitch count nearing 40 in the 2nd inning. Should be a nice 5 inning effort. The good news is that the Angels middle relief is pretty reliable, as the first 2 games of the season showed

Breaking news: Santiago has a high pitch count already!

[LAAFANofLA]

It was either that, or Hector throw more fastballs....I'll take it.

[jsnpritchett]

Ha ha.  Andrus is a moron.
