And yes it does sound like can opener, might be the best spot for Bedrosian since he can't give up someone else's runs.

[Docwaukee]

Cam opener.  

[tdawg87]

Clam Bedrosian

[red321]

well, on guess on the plus side he can't come in later and give up the lead

Had a chance to attend the game yesterday. 

Had a blast besides the outcome

took the bart from SF. Which was super easy 

sat 2 rows behind the angels dugout 

obviously the stadium is old but I personally had a better expierence there than I did at oracle park for the giants game on Saturday 

beer was super cheap and the fans were some of the best to sit around 

let’s win tonight !

Can someone please explain why the best hitter on the team is batting ninth?

Must be analytical  ... or because he’s the catcher. hmmm

Ausmus seems to have a thing with this L/R/L/R/L/R... lineup. 

Is there any clear advantage in that? I'm not getting it. I'd have Fletcher leading off. The best hitter on the team should not bat last. 

I guess Albert will bat cleanup for the duration.

Outside of the first inning what difference dies it make?

By having fletcher bat 9th allows Trout bat 2nd thus better chance of getting an at bat.  Plus with La Strella batting first puts two of our better batters bat immediately ahead of Trout put Trout in better RBI position.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Nick Tropeano!! Turn it around tonight, those PCL stats don't count until you do another face plant in the AL West.

Go Cam Bedrosian!!! Give Trop a clean first!!

[eligrba4ever]

So who is the utility infielder? Can Albert still play third?

[T.G.]

Fletcher actually hits right handed pitchers better than anyone or he's at least among the league's best.

[daygloman]

Bedrock on the bump.........

 

Go Halos!

Or because the manager is an Ivy League guy and smarter than the rest of us....

The only good thing about that Oakland stadium is that the band is less annoying when you are there than it is on tv and radio.

Did you check the injured list today?

[mmc]

We so desperately need another option for the infield.  Rengifo isn't MLB ready.

[eligrba4ever]

Love it when Terry notes how difficult it is to strike out a particular hitter and he Ks on the next pitch.
