This might be the greatest lineup ever assembled

Adell is carrying the team.

Looks like the Angels are doing a three player attack against the Rays.  Interesting approach.

This getaway game lineup is more like a giveaway.

@RallyMo?

When did Taylor Ward’s average drop down to .258?

 

Obviously after the last at bat but wow didn’t know he fell off that much

Nice preemptive strike.

It got as low as .252 mid-game a couple days ago.  He's been terrible since coming back from banging into the wall.  Since May 26, he's hitting .212/.291/.324.

K's on a pitch outside the zone in his first AB. A true Angel, I'm warming up to Ford Focus already

Throw him in the same package with Walsh and Stassi and ship them all out for some reliever in single A

[eligrba]

If the Ray's pitcher doesn't set a strike out record today,  he failed.

Brandon Wood redux...without the power.

Patrick O’Neil is the absolute worst at PBP.

l can't believe this is the best we can field at 3B

Minasian is going to have his hands full in the offseason....Not sure you can feel good about anybody in the OF....Trout obviously is Trout but health is a question mark.  Ward hasn't been very good the last three months and Adell is, well, Adell....a tease but not much more at this point.....and with what might be a limited budget because of the sale (not sure how that will go), what do you do?  I think he has to sign a least one OF'er....with other needs, it is going to be a challenge...

I would listen to the synced radio broadcast except they're at the Bid A and the delay is terrible.

[fan_since79]

We have a lively competition going for Worst Hitter Imaginable.

Some impressive efforts by the bums.

[CaliAngel]

Is this perhaps the lowest starting lineups batting average of all time?

I try not to hate on PBP guys and am indifferent to most, but man I agree. The parts of games I have caught this season have been with either matty V or the opposing teams broadcast
