I don't know what you're talking about...

No Trout?

 

8 runs minimum (for the Angels).

[Dick Enberg]

Crap! no Trout! Big test tonight for the Angels. Can we keep the "#werenasty" movement going without him, against one the AL's best, if not the best. 

GO HALOS!!

Trout wasn't going to play every game anyhow. Much smarter to be cautious about him. But the downside is that he is red hot. But it is the Astros, who always seem to find ways to neutralize hot teams/players. 

Always interesting watching a prospect when called up. Hermosillo is batting near the bottom of the order, so any offense will be a bonus. Just play steady in the field and do the little things right should be his focus. Outfield depth is definitely an area to think about in the future. 

Interesting to see if Albert continues to be productive after his extended rest. 

I'm paranoid every time we play Houston. Minimum expectations are not to be swept.

We will be facing 3 of the Astros lesser starters, None have been fan favorites on the Astros board. Especially the follower in tonight's game Framber Valdez...

Rengifo has quietly put-up a solid slash line for the season (270/340OBP). Nice to see! While Fletcher has War of   2.5.

There's an Astro board?

Hoping that Herm can have a good showing.  He basically just finished spring training.  

I know most here don't have any confidence in him being a useful player, but I have higher hopes for him than most as a someone who can at least be a solid 4th OFer and perhaps even a good platoon guy vs. LHers.  

He's gonna be that guy we lose to waivers who ends up have a couple of solid seasons from age 28-31 (He's only 24 right now btw)  as an everyday or near everyday guy for a rebuilding team.

I just meant that I'm surprised that there are any Texans that can read and write

[Blarg]

Is Marisdick on suspension or too afraid he is going to get rib tickled tonight?

Pumped for this series. Let’s go Canning!

Sure wish MLB Network would use the Angels version of the broadcast instead of the Houston crew.

Vic and Gubie come at a cost to me of a built-in 40-second delay online.

Griffin is trying too hard not to make a mistake. That leads to mistakes.

Table is set for Bedrosian.
