Ward batting in the lineup where he should have been a month ago.

This seems like an important game, I know it’s one of 162 but it’s the last game of a home stand and getting swept would suck.  Let’s get some runs for Sandy!

[REDneck]

This is what happens, when you lose the first two games of the series and need a win to avoid being swept, but you have to rest a few of your better players.

Renfroe should get his days off on the road, not in Anaheim.

I forgot Soto was even on the roster, I thought they bounced him back to AAA last week.

Odds are pretty good that Neto pinch hits for him later in the game…

[rafibomb]

Tough task avoiding the sweep with Perez on the mound

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

I would have also flip flopped Drury with Urshela batting cleanup and Walsh with Thaiss batting fifth.

Wait… the mariners are .5 game behind us? I thought they had stilll been sucking 
 a loss today and we’re potentially in 4th place

Yes.  Mariners are going to be a problem later in the season.  Or tomorrow.

They got four automatic wins against Oakland this past week. That helped. (Their next 8 games after today are against the Yankees, Rangers, Padres.)

GO ANGELS!!!!

AVERT A SWEEP THAT WOULD SMELL LIKE ROTTING FISH!!!

4 game sweep of Oakland 

[HeavenlyHalos]

lmao, they learned nothing from the game yesterday... Drury needs to stop there. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

and that double play cost them a run. Bummer

[HeavenlyHalos]

Ward and Walsh killing what could have been

[eligrba4ever]

COMMITMENT!!! SANDOVAL!

[HeavenlyHalos]

and just like that, they trail   

[Blarg]

Needed a single, Ward swung for the fence. Idiot.

Sandoval made a plus play there. 

[Erstad Grit]

I'm still hung up on Ward. Dude has been garbage for a while. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Walsh sure has been terrible at the plate. Yes sample size but not exactly encouraging given his last season and a half.

[nando714]

Adell up

drop Ward and Walsh 

they bring nothing to the team

At least he makes up for it in the field. 

Wait...
