I guess some change could be good.

[Troutstanding]

Good call to move Trout and Pujols up to their more logical batting order positions.

[Kevin]

As the image of the lineup loads on the page, the very first thing that catches my eye is POS. It seems fitting I guess.

[Ray McKigney]

Never imagined that not even halfway through May we'd see Marte and Ryan starting at 3B and SS.

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Nick Tropeano!!!

Pull up your big boy pants and stop the losing streak. Become NiTro the Stopper. Make it to the eighth, although that seems an impossible dream.

There's a brand new left side of the infield. It's a brave new world of experimentation born of necessity.

Hey, Albert. Keep on hitting for distance. If the pitching holds up, it might have meaning.

Angels Mike Scioscia expects Yunel Escobar to play tomorrow and they'll go back to normal lineup with Trout-Pujols 3-4

[Guest]

This seems worse somehow

[eligrba4ever]

And I forgot to mention: HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH, EVERYONE!!!

This HAS to give the Angels some mojo.

[TCB]

Who the heck is playing on the left side of the IF for Salt Lake tonight???

Cowart is playing SS and Cunningham is playing 3b.  

 

Seriously.  

Not sure what happened to Rey Navarro.

Friday the 13th?

What are the chances of something good happening tonight?

I feel like this has to improve our chances if anything.

Go Halos!

On one of the Friday the 13th's, back in 1980 or 81? I was involved in "3" car accidents in one day!

Just thought I'd throw that out there!!!

Hey, I never even got a scratch!!!

Mariners broadcasters see little to worry about this weekend. Dave S. is talking about boomsticks. Or did he say broomsticks? He mentioned Cruz has the most homers against the Angels among active players right now.

[eligrba4ever]

Iannetta at .218. Better than his 2015 Angels average, particularly what that number was last May.

[NrM]

I like it. Trout should've never been removed from the 2 spot to begin with. 

[California Cajun]

Good for them they're changing the lineup.  If a team needed to get out of town for a while it's this one.

[Quinlanforthewin]

LOL pujols is hitting 3rd! Wow. Calhoun leading off? This is awful. Not that it matters

[Quinlanforthewin]

Cron needs to grow a beard I think it would help his likability.  That's my analysis.

Stronger than Gubi's.

[Lhalo]

The arms in the bullpen are going to fall off before the Allstar break if this rotation can't figure out how to keep their pitch count down. 

[beatlesrule]

Awesome pitching out of a leadoff triple.

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo! Angels have a lead.  1-0.
