Will be at the stadium with my son tonight, hoping for a good game.

 

Hoping Calhoun can retrieve his head out of his ass.

Other than Cold Calhoun, I really like the way this lineup stands. I'm guessing we score 8 runs. Unfortunately well give up 11.

Heaney against the Yankees. Dear God. Disaster waiting to happen.

Hope I'm wrong and Lou bumps this.

Nah, Heaney's got this, don't under estimate him...

You're right! 12 runs  

Seriously though this is a very winnable series. i'm hoping for at least 2 platinum sombreros out of Stanton this weekend.

if this was opening day and the above was opening day line up there would be 5, 6, 7 pages of that "boner" .gif

Pretty tough pitcher for Cold Calhoun to do well against.

Heaney will need to locate his pitches well and keep the Yankees hitters off balance. This Yankees offense can be deadly if he is not locating his pitches and can't keep them guessing.

[Angel Oracle]

This is a different Skanks team from past years.    Six RHHs, 1 switch-hitter, and only TWO LHHs in their regular lineup

We have the power now.

 

[tdawg87]

Calhoun needs to bat benchth.

[Dick B Back]

 With Heaney’s 9+ ERA he can’t get any worse right? 

[Slegnaac]

Defense will be the difference tonight.

Angels will get to face him on the first day of May. Yeah, there's that month again.

Hopefully, MAY it be nice if Cobb has another bad start to his season.

You know, over his last 15 games, Trout's BABIP returned to normal and his stats over that period look phenomenal. If that keeps up, he really will have a May for the ages.

His BABIP for the season is still under. 290. Isn't his career BABIP like just over .350? There's nowhere to go but up. And if that hold true and he keeps on hitting home runs, then he should have a great May. He did have a great April last year (.364/.443/.707) but he had an even better month in May (.297/.484/.797). Legendary May last year but I'm wondering how the hell did he hit under .300 that same month despite those 9 home runs in only 20 games? Interesting, his BABIP that month was only .263.
