Good pitching matchup.

Seeing Ohtani in the lineup angers Michele Tafoya.

She has never experienced the O. Sad for her.

I wouldn't mind seeing this lineup a few more times.

[Halo in Chicago]

Yes, this looks like a strong lineup for us.

Careful what you say about these female right-wing propagandists. Last time it didn't go so well for you.

That wasn't me.

What ever became of Michele Tafoya? I vaguely remember she lifted mics in the faces of large football players as they ran in and out of locker rooms at halftime.

She got traded in for a newer, hotter version of that model.

I'm surprised Trout, Ohtani and Ward didn't need another day off.  THANKS JOE!

[PattyD22]

They probably would have @Dochaloif the Angels had a day off tomorrow.  
 

That seems to be the theme.  Game off before the day off.  Makes total sense.

and then another game off a couple days after.  It's fine.  You don't want your superstars in there everyday.  130 games is fine.

It's gonna be awesome around here in October when half the team isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the ALDS.

Exactly.  Because those other 32 or so games don’t really mean shit in the grand scheme of things.  
 

I mean seriously, it’s not like they are in their late 20’s or early 30’s.

It's exhausting.  I know when I have to work like 5hrs a day I need a nap.

I’m going to save this post @Justin.  Not because of the line up part, but to see if the ALDS comes true.

Maybe Trout agreed that he needed to sit out some games for extra rest. For all we know he requested it. 

[Lou]

I get what you guys are saying, but let's not forget they're playing 4 games in a 48 hour period. 

[namssa]

Angels starting pitchers have given up 1 run or less in 6 straight starts.   Let's hope Sandoval extends it to 7 in a row.

Mike only asks to sit out when the Eagles are playing
