Will be surprised if this doesn't get rained out, unfortunately.

I'm just hoping that if they play it, nobody gets hurt like Rendon did in that Blue Jays game on that soggy field in Dunedin last year.

[failos]

Ffs just cancel the game

[Taylor]

Weather looks better tomorrow and Monday. Cancel today, DH tomorrow plz.

Are Marsh and Adell now in a RHP/LHP platoon? I mean, it makes sense as far as team performance is concerned, but Adell is getting the short end of the stick. What percentage of starters are LHP, maybe 25%?

GO ANGELS!!! (weather permitting)

Plus he’d start when Trout is DH or out of the lineup.  Maybe if Ward cools off Adell gets a few starts against righties.  It’s either that or send him down to play full time at AAA.

Marsh is the much better player right now. 

Adell cannot be an every day player thanks to his terrible defense.

No rain has fallen the past couple of hours, none predicted until 5pm CST.

Hoping the field is dry enough by game time, and get in 5-6 innings.

The now permanent suspended game rule allows games to be continued another day, no matter what inning it is.

Better to play 5-6 innings today, than a DH tomorrow.

[Stradling]

I’m sure I’m in the minority but I was fine with 7 inning double headers. 

[Jay]

Personally I'd like to see the game played today. It's raining here and I actually have time to watch it.

 

[Taylor]

Weird that it's a 3:05 PM local time start.

A better rule than the runner on 2b in extra innings for sure….Not sure why shortening games by a couple of innings, in a long day with a double header, is that big of a deal…

Angels were 4-4 when Ward made his season debut on April 16th. He's played in every game since and the Angels are 10-3 during that span.

Pen loses Archie Bradley with abdominal strain. At least it's not an arm injury. Hopefully it's only something that costs him a couple weeks

According to that report it looks like they could get 5 innings in.

Has to be from taking a dump.

Could Ward play 1b and occasionally have Adell give Walsh a break?

[Angel Oracle]

Peguero in for Bradley, next man up and raring to go

I got one once from washing my taint. It's hard to reach, man.

Three years ago today. Griffin Canning's MLB debut.

That lineup! LOL
