Please fix your sig and make it smaller.

I really preferred Maybin batting 2nd over Calhoun. I think Calhoun after Pujols is a better lineup but then again we play the sick lineup game all year and never really know if it would an improvement.

GO HALOS!!!! Go J.C. Ramirez!!!

Step up your game, J.C., to match competition that's tougher than your past several opponents!! Get a WIN!!

Go Trout, Albert, Calhoun, Simba and the rest!! Score early and often.

NO BUTTERCUPPING!!! (Sign should be posted at both ends of the dugout.)

What happened

[jsnpritchett]

Probably his hamstring again.  I noticed that he sort of reached toward it last night when he was sliding into 3rd late in the game.

My first thought as well. Probably to keep him off of the wet grass.

Astros announcers said the game was delayed a little bit initially getting lineups sorted out due to Trout being a late injury scratch...

Don't like it...don't like it at all.

Feel bad for the fans that went to see Trout play then get a late scratch like that. REFUND

Yeah, they really aren't too fun to watch w/out him, huh?  I'm going to give it 3 or 4 innings and see if the bats show up.

[fan_since79]

A quiet bottom of the first.

Here we go...

Years ago I bought tickets behind the A's dugout at Angel Stadium for my son's 10th Birthday. He got sick that day but we went anyway he wanted to see Mark McGwire and Jose Conseco play. They were both hitting tons of home runs and the Angels were not a good team at the time. Just our luck both players were given the day off. His birthday is just before the All Star Break.

From RotoWire

Trout had been nursing a hamstring injury the past couple days, and although he was initially tabbed to start in center field Saturday, there are reports that he aggravated the ailment during warmups. More information on the injury should become apparent once he's examined further by team doctors. 

[Troll Daddy]

I've never been to a Angels game to watch a player. Seeing Trout play is added bonus.

[fan_since79]

Once the 'team doctors' get through with him, a lengthy DL trip should follow.

Don't even go there!

Trout out for any length of time will be the nail in our coffin.

It's like going to Disneyland and seeing this. May as well go home.

Gallows humor. It's kept me sane while following this team since '79.

A real long single, I seen shorter triples.

[AngelsLakersFan]

If Trout's hammy is going to be an issue for a bit, just bite the bullet and stick him at DH.

[eligrba4ever]

Quick work in the third by Ramirez. Helped by Yunel's nice grab.

Running is a problem with a hamstring injury. So I wouldn't risk it. Maybe a pinch hit late in a close game, is all I would be comfortable with. It all depends on what our medical staff thinks.
