Small sample size, but Escobar and Gia have hit Gausman pretty well (6 for 10 and 2 for 3, respectively). Each with a double. Trout has a HR off him.

Bandy in for a red hot Perez.

[Chuck]

Go Angels! Let's win the next two and take the series.

A terrible hitter, but for the past five games, a .947 OPS.

Now he'll get cold again, just watch.

When the hell when some posters realize you cannot play a carcher every single game.  And in Scioscia in particular manages for the long haul of the season.  This is getting really old.

You can play a catcher everyday though.

Yogi Berra caught both ends of 117 doubleheaders. And they weren't day-night ones either. A 20-minute break between games.

more Yogi: 22-inning game in 1962 at the age of 37, at catcher.

I guess Perez is no Berra.

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Matt Shoemaker!!!

Start a new winning streak, Shoe. Keep the ball down and, difficult as it may be with the Orioles, in the park.

Keep hitting, Trout. Get back on track everybody else.

You're an emergency call-up, Bandy, but that's no excuse to look silly at the plate.

No one was Yogi....but I recall Scioscia playing Bengie more than 3 games in a row.

Go Halos!!!

[The God of Runs]

The Halos will win tonight thanks to the Rally Cat. Expect to receive Jersey Mike's tonight

And nothing has changed since Yogi played the game.

[bloodbrother]

Shoemaker vs the Orioles and their lineup that leads MLB in HR's. I love this match-up for the Angels

[Broad Street]

It's always the ones that we expect to lose, we end up winning. Baseball is funny that way.

I'm just hoping for a good game! Go Halos!

[daygloman]

Play ball!

Digging Bandy's catcher's gear with that bit of gray

[Ohtaniland]

Beautiful night in Anaheim with a half empty stadium. Waiting for the announcement of a sell out.

[Angels#1Fan]

Lets go Halos!

[Angels#1Fan]

C'mon Trout!

[Angels#1Fan]

Albert with an opportunity to strike first.

[Angels#1Fan]

Arg.

[Angels#1Fan]

It's up to Cron.

Flailing contact play.
