Why take Trout of the lineup on a day that Ohtani pitches? I get that Trout needs a rest day but now your two best hitters are out on the same day

dude what are you talking about it makes perfect sense, no Trout means we can use Calhoun in the #2 slot to get him going. Otherwise that slot would be taken, 3D chess.

You misspelled salami. 

[tdawg87]

Calhoun is gonna hit a walkoff homer in the 9th because Scioscia has reached universal awareness.

My bad

[bloodbrother]

God that would have been the dumbest hit ever if they didn't get that forceout

[yk9001]

Kinsler made a good play!!!

[IheartLA]

they literally haven't hit anything hard so far

[yk9001]

I adjusted my profile pic to honor Helen (I have no idea if she ever ended up being a mother.  She kind of disappeared from Hagerstown)

[IheartLA]

Bobby Wilson is overmatched against Ohtani

[laagamer]

Just threw him 3 sliders in a row hahahahaha

[papawealey]

Yeah that was a nice play by Kinsler

Don't make fun of his accent.  He's fresh off the boat.

[Adios]

Ohtani dealing like he wants to win the Cy Young.  Definitely talented enough to do that someday.

[fan_since79]

Wow, Lebron and co. are getting killed at the Garden. Didn't expect that.

[bloodbrother]

Calhoun gets to bat this inning

[Waybackman]

Is Ohtani on a pitch count? Be a shame if they take him out and, well, we can all imagine the result.

[bloodbrother]

Lmao that slide by Maldonado

[IheartLA]

Maldonado doing his best Bartolo Colon impression

[laagamer]

There's no way Kole could F*ck this up

[bloodbrother]

Calhoun up with runners on 1st and 3rd hell yes

[CubsFan]

Fat Lasagna sub out K-Hole and put in Trout.

[fan_since79]

Runner on third again for Calhoun, no outs.

Shudder...

[IheartLA]

hahaha yes - what a break

Cozart almost screwed up not moving the runner but we got lucky

[IheartLA]

I'm glad we have Calhoun up and not Trout right now!
