Whoa!  Sosh is mixing it up big time!  I like this. 

[NachoPop]

Give Kole and Kinsler a short leash and if they don't improve soon I'd like to see:

1) Simmons

2) Trout

3) Ohtani

4) Upton

5) Pujols

6) Cozart

7) Blash / EYJ (while Kole sorts himself out in AAA)

8 ) J. Fernández / Fletcher (bye Ian )

9) Rivera / Maldonado

I like that lineup.  My concern on Simmons is that he may try to be a run producer and swing for the fences too much.  By leading off he may focus on just getting on base.

I love this line up. Glad to see them mixing it up here. 

I’d still like to see them try this one.

Trout

Simmons

Ohtani 

Upton

Etc. 

Only if Pujols has the day off.

Interesting lineup.  Funny how Ohtani keeps moving up in the lineup, next game he'll be leading off

So, arguably our best power hitters are batting 1st and 2nd in the lineup?

What. The. F*ck. 

Somebody please explain the concept of scoring runs to Scioscia.

It's only 1 game and only 1 inning in 1 game.

Gerrit Cole has been ridiculous so far this season so I'm all for Sosh having Trout/Ohtani/Jup as the top 3 hitters. Give your best bats the most AB/chances since it'll probably be a struggle to score runs off this dude

We beat him the last time we faced him at Houston 2-0.

[UndertheHalo]

Barria really does have great mound presence.

whatever that’s worth.

Barria is a good pitcher - with Shoe out we literally have no more room for injuries to our 6 SP.

[IheartLA]

Ohtani time

[IheartLA]

Ohtani K's, F*ck!

[Dick B Back]

Upton be warm!

[daygloman]

JERKED IT!!!!

[TM3]

Upton!!

[bloodbrother]

How about that Jup extension

[UndertheHalo]

J UP !!

[NachoPop]

Lineup effectiveness confirmed

[IheartLA]

J UP!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

that works J Up is hot now.

[IheartLA]

we're definitely on one of Upton's good streaks

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Someone yelled run Albert, and then atta boy.

[IheartLA]

LOL 

"Run hard Albert!" - some fan

he doesn't understand that Albert is running hard...he's actually that slow
