If You Had to Guess Today's Lineup

[Shohei Ohtani]

 

So I run an Angels fan page on Instagram, and I won't be able to edit my pregame format after the lineups are posted. What would you think the lineup would be? 

[TroutField]

Lol you realize Mike Scioscia is the manager ?

[Second Base]

I'm gonna go with Maicer batting third.

[Ohtaniland]

Simmons will definitely sit tonight.

He's been way too hot, may want to sit him down for the night lol.

[Stradling]

I will give it a try:

Cozart

Trout

Upton

Albert

Ohtani

Simmons

Valbuena

Calhoun

Rivera

[Angelsfan1984]

Kinsler

Trout

Upton

Pujols

Ohtani

Simmons

Cozart

Calhoun

Maldonado

I'm not convinced Ohtani is batting today. He's been in the lineup for the last 3 games, and I don't think he has had 4 games straight this year. I don't know if now is the time when they would start ramping up his playing time, given the fact that he's had two (minor) injuries in the last couple weeks.

Granted, I really wanna see him bat so we can shove it in Dipoto's stupid fat face.

Praying that he's in there....getting ready to board my flight from Reno to Seattle. Going tonight and Saturday, and if he's on the bump Sunday, he won't be hitting Saturday....so tonight's my only chance to see him. Would love to see him put a dot on the 'HIT IT HERE' Bullseye in RF

I think he'll DH tonight against Leake. He's sitting tomorrow and pitching on Sunday.

This one looks like a winner.

[CubsFan]

They need to get him more at bats.  He's top 10 in batting average if he qualified.

But he’s not and never will be...

[UndertheHalo]

Ohtani is throwing a bullpen today.   So there’s that.  Not sure if they take him out of the line up or not.

I think if he bats the day before and after his starts as well he will qualify.

Which he won’t and probably shouldn’t.  

[GrittyVeterans]

Ohtani is playing plenty. You guys really want to risk injury to a guy with his kind of value in May? Lol

 

you only consider something like that in October
