Wow what a difference Rendon makes to a lineup.

 

And lol at Upton batting 4th. I know it’s a lefty but still... lol

[eligrba4ever 3,407]

GO ANGELS!!!! 

TEST CLEAN. (THE CLEAN BIT GOES FOR THE M's TOO.)

[Blarg 31,807]

He hasn't had one plate appearance and he is already a difference maker?

[Fourts 508]

The piece...

[Angel Oracle 14,267]

Rendon finally debuts!

[Deek 107]

Bench Pujols… move Fletch to 1B... Simmons at SS... and Goody in RF... and we got ourselves a ball club...

Dislike Upton being behind Rendon wish it were Ohtani. Trout Rendon and Ohtani are our big guns. But other than that, lets go and get a win.

[Fourts 508]

1B?

Because Ohtani is hitting against a southpaw. Otherwise I'm sure we see Ohtani bat 4th.

Ohtani can't continue to hit like he did in Oakland, that much is for sure.

Yes.

Absolutely, yes.

Absolutely, yes.

I agree

It will be on most nights. Facing a lefty today so that's why. Can't wait for a future lineup with Trout/Rendon/Ohtani/Adell taking up the middle of the order with Upton batting 6th/7th and Pujols finally off the books

[OttoDog 3]

I like Fletcher at shortstop. He can handle it defensively and we really need his clutch hitting every single game.

Yes -- all this team is missing is some good facial hair.  Between Rendon's goatee and Rengifo's big beard....we're obviously set for a huge run!

That’s a good sign... if there was something obviously wrong he would have been on the IL already. 

[mmc 1,612]

 

Sounds like he'll be activated before the game.  Hope he's ready to play.

Jared Walsh and Luis Rengifo have traded roster spots I'm told.
