Albert at first, Maybin in CF!

Revere batting second

[Second Base]

Gotta change things up sometimes. You can do much worse than Revere batting second and Albert at 1B.

[Angels#1Fan]

Let today be the return of the Shoe.

Go Halos..Go Shoe!

[Blarg]

I Iike Calhoun batting behind Pujols. 

[eligrba4ever]

GO HALOS!!! Go Matt Shoemaker!!

Cobble together a winning performance, Shoe! Stop the pitching skid!

Shake off the fielding cobwebs, Albert! And don't strain anything when you stretch.

Hey, offense, DO SOMETHING!!! Score more than KC.

For those that may be wondering, we're on KCOP tonight. #Angels v #Royals game 2...first pitch coming up.

Stolen base #2 for Trout. Better start in that department than last year.

Victor: 

 Albert has good career numbers at Kauffman Stadium.

 

 Can our broadcasters please just quit saying this? The guy used to be awesome. He has great career numbers everywhere unless a ballpark was opened in the last five years.

Pujols with another groundout RBI. Butt-pats all around!

 To his credit he finally allowed Trout to steal a base . Otherwise it would have been a GIDP 

[eligrba4ever]

I wonder if that beard-grooming ad at the bottom of this page pays for Shoemaker days?

[eligrba4ever]

I noticed a Fletcher tweet about how the Angels have been on the road for 12 of MLB's 14 Jackie Robinson Days to date. He asks (facetiously?) if MLB wants the Dodgers at home on those days.

Shoemaker working hard in the 1st

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[fan_since79]

This Royals lineup is batting .424 against Shoemaker, and that's not counting this inning.

[Jason]

At least we will get to see a lot of bullpen tonight

25 pitches and just one out? That may be more struggling than working.

That means NO TV AGAIN!!!!

[Glen]

Welp.

[Jason]

So I assume 4+ is the expectation from our starters this season?

[yk9001]

Is the bullpen rested??
