i'd rather see moniak playing instead of adell.

[Tank]

pilkington is a funny word. it sounds like the name of a british town.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Duffy with the OBP higher than SLG. 

[RenoHalo]

Why is Gonzalez highlighted? Is he the dude I've never heard of that's gonna destroy the Angels this series? Every series has at least 1 guy.

Looks like it's going to be a straight platoon....Might see Moniak in CF to give Trout a rest or Adell in RF to give Ward a day off....

Yeah you really have to play them both as much as possible. Someone is going to have to sit out a game here and there because of Ward and Trout though, unless they get an offday. 

I'd like to see the team DFA Duffy and bring up Stefanic. Let him play 2B until Fletcher is back, Rengifo at 3B. Once Fletcher is back work Stefanic in as the utility INF. 

Duffy brings zero value to this ball club and he doesn't have a future with the club either next year. Doesn't make sense to play him over our own guys IMO. 

[Angelsjunky]

My guess is that Stefanic never gets a real shot, and ends up on on the Athletics, where he turns into a solid platoon/fringe starter.

And has a higher OBP than SLG%, not what to look for in a corner INF.

To me, these are games that still count, against Cleveland, Seattle and Minnesota (maybe).  Let’s go Detmers!

Is anybody actually calling them the Guardians?

I still say Indians, then I remember they're the Guardians, but I'm too lazy and don't care enough to correct myself.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Catch Cleveland with its guard down.

MLB Network version of this broadcast is not having a PBP format. A stack of kibbitzers including Sabathia and 3 MLBN analysts are on the left side.

Now you know why:

What if we had a LF and 1b.  This would be a good team (Rendon is healthy in this fantasy).
