Ted Bundy getting the start today!!! He’s gonna kill it!

[Erstad Grit]

Bundy will have a nice for us. Extremely underrated 

[T.G.]

Ohtani sits... Pujols in the 4 hole.

I need to make some popcorn.

And Hermie hitting 7th

Day game lineup is rough

[Duren, Duren]

Nobody noted that Calhoun homered in his first Arizona game. And realistically could have made that difficult catch that Goodwin couldn't. 

With Upton and Goodwin sub par in the field we already have one game  where outfield defense had a negative impact. Hopefully the transition to Adell doesn't take much longer. 

Last night was excruciatingly frustrating on many levels. Self inflicted and uninspiring. No room for even a minor losing streak. Four losses in a row in 2020 equals eleven losses in a normal year.

It was noted.

ooh god that line-up.....can't be any worst than what the guys did yesterday.

[Lou]

I like it.

[Chuck]

Well this is Ward's and Hermosillo's chance to shine. I hope it happens, because this lineup without Rendon and Ohtani doesn't pack that much of a punch. 

Here's hoping our farm system steps up today and contributes offensively and defensively! 

[Biergott]

Come on Adell, fix that defense and get your bat up here!

[m0nkey]

Pujols 4th and Taylor Ward 5th, I don’t see how this offense doesn’t score runs.

The final score will be 10-9.

Ohtani pitches tomorrow so yes he is out of the lineup today. 

[bloodbrother]

[John Taylor]

I'm guessing Ohtani is pitching tomorrow thus the reason he in the lineup (I think he is pitching only Sundays). Blah Upton then Pujols in the 3/4

 

Rendon save us!

 

Keep Butthead, No Way, and Hoby away from the game.

I'm fine with the lineup... historically, some others get worked up over it and I'm making light of that fact...

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[CanadianHalo]

lol at sending Adell down and then rolling out this line up Game 2
