TODAY'S ELIMINATION NUMBER: 6!!!

favorite lineup of the year.  1 run.

I'm really liking Fletcher in the 2-spot.

.349/.378/.419 in his last ten games.

He could be patient and walk more, but he's hitting the ball just fine.

TROUT!!!! CRUSHED!!! 2-0 Angels. 

Plenty of ABs left today for 3 more, Mike.

OHTANI!!!!!!!!!!

[BackUpTheTruck]

Nice hit by Upton! Not that difficult to beat the shift.

This is my fave line up all year, JMF adds another quality AB

[BackUpTheTruck]

We'll score some runs here . . .

Ohtani hitting behind Trout may force pitchers to pitch to Trout instead of IBB.

Dude they better beat Fresno State next week

Trout and Ohtani making a late season charge for MVP and Rookie of the Year. I'm liking the idea of Ohtani batting behind trout, trout about to start getting some pitches to hit!

[GrittyVeterans]

I'm so excited about the offense next year with Trout and Ohtani full time

Likes of Upton/SImmons/Cozart/Ward will have a lot of opportunities to drive in runs
