Time to sweep!

[Jason]

Ohtani needs a breather 

[tdawg87]

I'm ok with this.

[beatlesrule]

I'll be at the game. Excited and scared to see Detmers pitch. I just hope Ohtani will be available to pitch hit.

[tdawg87]

Detmers has a 4.46 fip. So he's better than his numbers show. Hopefully we're seeing a regression (or progression) to the mean.

Ward's gotta win Player of the week this week right?

[Angels 1961]

I like what Maddon is doing with lineup getting players in and resting others. Long stretch of games going forward. When winning makes manager look good. 4 game sweep be very nice before going on road.

Maybe for the month.

Kind of funny that his break comes after a night he had 3 hits with an rbi and run scored. 

[Blarg]

I'm going out on a limb and saying Velazquez picks up two hits today and scores at least once.

I think him missing the first 2 weeks will hurt him in this regard.

First 9 days, and point definitely taken.

Byron Buxton is gonna give him a run for his money.

[Barf]

Finish them off Halo's!

Good lineup and interested to see what Detmers does.

Trout and Ward are having better months.

[Hubs]

Ohtani getting the next day off (or previous day off) after he starts I think is the right course of action.

I would tend towards the day after.

If the rotation order holds, which it will undoubtedly not, he'll have probably 3-4 scheduled days off the rest of the first half. That's fine by me.

They are freaking ridiculous right now 

[fan_since79]

Trout is as locked in as he ever has been.

Now just stay healthy.

What the fuck does he mean "the situation is a little odd"? Sam Blum is a little odd.

I don't know why some people on here are so reactionary to what he says.  It IS a little odd that different people have said different things about what Fletcher is doing right now, how healthy he is, etc.  Not a huge deal, but it's one of those situations where people should probably just get on the same page before talking.

[fan_since79]

Trout, his last 9 games:

.455/.539/.939

5 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR, 8 RBI

10 runs

team result: 7-2 (does not include games he missed with the wrist HBP)
