We really need a bigger sample for Bourjos and Cozart.

I mean, other than Lastella instead of Cozart, how much better can the lineup get with our current roster?  It that any less vomit inducing? There is a lefty on the mound so I highly doubt the lineup matters anyway.

[Stradling]

Bour is on the bench that should stiffen some wieners on here. 

[GrittyVeterans]

Lineup has 2 automatic outs and 4 other well below average players

[Second Base]

Taking Kole Calhoun out of the lineup against a LHP.....only four years too late.  He was always a platoon player.

Going tonight, 2nd game of the year! Hope to bring some luck, last one I went to was the game Trout grand slammed in. Go angels!:)

[UndertheHalo]

On the one hand I’m glad that Goodwin is in and the ginger suck isn’t leading off.  On the other Kevan Smith is the DH and Bourjous is in the line up.  Also Cozart.

[Glen]

C'mon, we gotta get this to at least three pages before the game starts.

[Lou]

if Ausmus had started Bour we'd be on page 6

Maybe

Easy victory. About to win 5 straight. This team is ready to go on a tear. This is their year. One victory at a time to the World Series title.

Other than Lastella, who do you replace them with?

Petey and Cozy 8/9

I dont know about that, but he can't run the wrong way from the bench.

I think the line up is better with Cozart and Bourjous out especially.  And Bour and LaStella in.

Sub .500 OPS

COMBINED

That is beyond sad.

Not when the other side of the platoon is Bourjos. 

[UndertheHalo]

Also, Kole Calhoun was a border line all star for 3 years.  He wasn’t a platoon player.  Just a ridiculous thing to say.  He also mashed in the minors.  Which you’d think Scotty would appreciate.  

The guy just went off the deep end.  He’s not even a platoon player now really.  Not a regular one.  His bat is extremely bad.  Nothing the Angels could have done.  They were right to give him the contract.  Now should they have let him kill the team last year ? And should they this year when Upton is back ?  That’s the discussion.
