Can we quit seeing Fletch being moved every day? Like to see La Stella, Fletch, Trout, Ohtani....Eventually Upton, then Kole, Albert, Lucory, Rengifo...

No.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Cam Pena!!! Help ignite a winning streak that gets the Angels to .500 AND BEYOND!!!!

538 gives the Angels a 6 percent chance of making the playoffs, down from last week, and a 51 percent chance of winning today's game.

[eligrba4ever]

61 games down, 101 to play until:

• offseason;
• postseason.

[Angel Oracle]

Is opener finally a good spot for Bedrosian to be in?   Can Pena stretch through innings 2-7, and continue the almost recent string of pitchers going at least close to 6 innings?

There has been recently less wear and tear on the relievers than in April and most of May, thanks (or is it no thanks?) mainly to Harvey and Cahill.

well good to see Lucroy dropping down in the line-up!

Back from my trip and the team is in the same position as before. Actually surprised, thought they would tank.

[Blarg]

Surprisingly, we did not miss you at all.

Obviously you do not understand the level of complexity involved in constructing a major league lineup.  Multiple variables are considered and evaluated by using complicated and sophisticated algorithms to arrive at the most optimal lineup possible.

 

Assmus needs to move Fletcher wherever he needs a right handed batter so he can maintain the righty-lefty vibe.  It is quite revolutionary, many teams are considering it instead of the traditional approach of having players hit were they are most successful.

It looks like the Angels are trying a new approach to the cleanup batter......it looks like it will now be the GIDP batter.

I don't hear Roger in Oregon. I hear Terry 30 minutes before game time.

[UndertheHalo]

There’s a weird “Fairhaven memorial park and mortuary celebrates the life of Salvador Rodriguez Jr.” message on the advertising band below the club level.  Uhhh RIP ? I guess. 

[Docwaukee]

[AngelsLakersFan]

Terrible home plate umpire yet again

[AngelsLakersFan]

For a second I thought he was gona call that last curve a ‘ball’ and I was just gona turn off the tv...

[eligrba4ever]
