Hit machine Fletch has finally arrived this season. BA keeps rising

I know this formula with Upton batting leadoff is working but could you see Maddon putting Fletch back at the leadoff spot?

[tdawg87]

Shohei Ohtani.

[Justin]

I honestly love Shohei in a way I never have Trout. It might be recency bias but lord, his at bats are exciting. 

[bloodbrother]

I think it's safe to say that Ohtani will be winning player of the week.

No way. Keep both guys comfortable where they're at. No need to mess with a good thing

Ok Rendon pop out so Walshy can hit a dinger.

Rendon is really starting to frustrate me.

l agree

[Bronson]

You gotta move Rendon down to the 5 spot. 

[Justin]

Every Sunday is Lazy Sunday for Rendon.

JFC Rendon. Just looks sad out here. I am not mentally prepared for him suddenly becoming Pujols 2.0 for this franchise. I refuse to believe it

[REDneck]

Should of rested Tony Rendon today,before he hurts something else.

I have no doubt that we will not be as frustrated with Rendon's Angels career as we are with Pujols's when all is said and done. 

But holy hell it is tough to defend Rendon this season.

I was in the hospital for a few weeks when I was a kid. One channel played three movies in a nonstop loop and this was one of them. I've literally seen it more than 50 times. 

Great F'n movie.

He always shits the bed out of the gate or right after an extended period on the bench or IL due to injury. 

Once he gets his timing down he's legit. He just needs to stay on the field FFS.

I still have faith in the guy but he makes it hard to sometimes.

[bloodbrother]

The good news is with Ohtani being a literal God and Walsh being a stud, the Angels can get by while Rendon is playing like this....for now.

Might be time to put Suarez in the rotation.

[UndertheHalo]

Rendon is like a laboratory created “player to dislike” for me.
