The defense is gifting Texas 5 runs, minimum.

[Blarg]

Before y'all lose your shit, Suzuki is sporting a .917 ops.

[Reveille1984]

At least if I'm going to have to miss a game, this doesn't seem like the worst option with that lineup

[Blarg]

Ward is now leading the Angels with a 2.467 ops

Mayfield is second with a 1.275 ops.

It's not the offense that's the issue here.

Not the best looking defensive line up

It is always about the offense in Texas.

If you told me that was going to be the lineup on September 17th, I'd think Well, I guess the Angels have a lot of guys on the IL and are out of the race. Again.

 

[Lou]

There's good news and bad news.

The Good:  We have won 11 consecutive Easter Sunday games.

The Bad:  I made that up.

Poor Marsh

Lefty

I know its a lefty an all but if you're gonna sit Rendon, it sure would be nice to have Marsh or Walsh in the lineup.

Maybe Joe is doing this "just to stir the group up, quite frankly."

[Lou]

vs LHP, Marsh and Walsh have an OPS of .821

 

combined.

[bloodbrother]

Joe every Sunday with his lineups

[Slegnaac]

Simmer down guys, we will see Walsh, Rendon and Stassi in the lineup against the Asstros tomorrow.

[Jason]

Kind of feels like Rendon not in the line up is a good thing for both offense and defense. He has not been good to start the season 

[Docwaukee]

Rendon with two games off in the first 10.  Cool.  You know.  guys are tired early in the year.  

Is rendon a catcher?

[Docwaukee]

and not to be a dick, but these were the lineups I was imagining when I was bitching about our lack of depth during the entire off season.

As negative as I was being in the offseason my position has always been that if we keep our main guys in the lineup all year and we get 550+ innings from the top four in the rotation we easily make the playoffs. Maybe this is how we keep Rendon in the lineup all year, but I'm not sure if 130 games from him is gona cut it.
