lol. I miss the days of Rex Hudler lighting it up after wins. He's having the time of his life in KC, all that KC BBQ after he gets the munchies.

You should see what I'm Q'n right now.....  Dogs!

Will be curious if Scioscia sticks with this lineup again.

I hope so.

It will change tomorrow with a lefty on the mound. Look for Fletcher leading off, Blash in RF

Tdawg reminds me of Jeff from Chuck, I just picture that he looks like Jeff too.

I don't really see the resemblance, but I'm glad someone else here likes Chuck (not the AW admin lol). I will say that some people here remind me of John Casey (Adam Baldwin's character).

I wish they made a new season/film to make up for the horrible series finale.

I think it will remain the same. I saw this coming right before Ohtani got hurt

If Zunino holds at third they don’t get an out there. Parker has shaken baby syndrome from his stretch delivery gyrations. All that movement to throw batting practice fastballs.

Even Albert could have beat the runner to the bag.

Yep and it seems likely that Ohtani moves up to the 5 spot and Pujols to 6 spot. Or even put Ohtani to cleanup and Upton to 6th. Either way, Ohtani needs to move up sooner than later.

Its the way he says a few funny awkward things like Jeff lol. Its like what Jeff would be like if he's an Angels fan & posts here.
They basicly rebooted Chuck with a show called Limitless on CBS but it was cancelled in 2016 after 1 season, instead of a intersect he takes a Pill that turns him into superbrain & its a slapstick Comedy like Chuck.

It will be later imo ... Trout/Upton hopefully stay at 3&4 spot. I guessing you could try Ohtani in the 2 nd spot.

Upton’s sub .600 RISP OPS should be anywhere below 5th in the order.

For now, best lineup is:

Calhoun/Fletcher, Simba, Trout, Ohtani, Pujols, Upton, Kinsler/Valnobuena, Machete/Briceno, Fletcher/Calhoun

I've seen Limitless and I liked it a lot. Chuck is way better though. Any other shows your watching? I'm out of good shows to watch

Ohtani batting cleanup is something to consider in the furture not now.

As far as similaritys to Chuck & Limitless there isn't really anything out there but in the Spy genre there is Blacklist on NBC/Netflix & Person of Interest CBS/Netflix that are fun. The latter ended already. John Casey is basicly like the main guy in Person of Interest, latter seasons added a female John Casey thats even cooler. Person of Interest is about when AI monitors the whole world via cameras/web & gives the info to a tech billionaire who invented the machine for the goverment but doesn't trust them to save average people so he takes apon himself to recruit Mr Reese(super agent john casey guy) to help him, he shoots bad guys in kneecaps cause his employer hates it when he kills, that show explores the idea of what would happen if such powerful AI existed & how goverments/agencys would try to manipulate it.

The whole Chuck trying to find his parents & the Sarah/Chuck relationship was used in Haven on SyFy/Netflix even with a similar ending involving memory loss but thats a paranormal show almost like Supernatural except it had a ending in season 5.

I also had fun watching Travelers on Netflix which is like Time Travel tech meets Person of Interest.

Albert goes home and gets the OUT.

Only play he had. Parker didn't cover first.

Rojas went off on Pujols for this play.  Hey, I am all for Pujols bashing, but this was a bit much.

[Angel Oracle]

That was a fun game yesterday, had a little bit of everything.   Calhoun going off, Ohtani looking like April-May Ohtani, Valnobuena actually having a multi-hit game, good balance in the lineup, Fletcher's grab to strand two runners, Chernobyl Robles' stranding the bases loaded after no outs, and BedRock Jr. stranding runners and only allowing a bloop hit  

Let's do it again tonight!    A win puts their 2018 record in Seattle at a reasonable 4-5.

@Angel Oracle I like this version of AO much better than the old man screaming at the clouds version.  Not that anything is wrong with yelling at the clouds every now and then...

I still yell at them in reality occasionally to get their butts back here, and end these mostly drought November-March periods since 2012.

i think he's still playing pretty well for a 43 year old, but shouldn't this have happened awhile ago?
