I love the idea of switching up the lineup. But I hate the idea of Squid being the one to benefit from hitting in front of Ohtani

I don't like him in the lineup at all.

Fuckin yikes to that line up

[fan_since79]

Running tests on Drury?

See you next year, Brandon.

 

[Revad]

Why do I feel like it’s Ohtani vs. the Dodgers.

[ukyah]

that lineup is garbage. angels win by 5.

Because it is. The rest of that line up is garbage 

[Erstad Grit]

Feel like JA is going have a really good mini series here. Angels win both and get some guys healthy. 

[fan_since79]

It's not a bad spring training lineup.

But yes...garbage.

 

[daygloman]

I'm ready for the onslaught!

Go Halos!

[TroutField]

That lineup made me nauseous 

yikes…. And that sounds like the precursor to Drury being out even longer than anticipated. 

[Blarg]

Anthony Rendon spotted walking his dog today.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Absolutely insane how many guys are out.

Dude, it's what we got. Keep the faith. 

It's still ten million times better than the Mayfield's, Lagares, Duffy days of yesteryear.

You know, it's easy to beat up on the weak kid in the neighbourhood. 

Why not come from a positive rally approach, rather than Debbie fucking Downer, @Jason?

Shohei has just one hit (a HR) from his last 18 AB's (5 games). I really hope he was saving it all up for the Dodgers.

[Chuck]

I'm so glad @WicketMaiden has clocked in for work. I can't do it all myself.

I’m just being real. Could they win? Sure but the talent just isn’t there and now the depth really comes into play. I am hoping Adell really seizes this opportunity now. 

[Blarg]

I would have liked to see Moniak, Adell and Ohtani as the first three in the order. The two first rounder underdogs feeding off each other might just work. At least it would as a storyline.

Me too. A couple of XBH from him tonight would be very handy. He's always carried himself with a bit of arrogance, so a guy like that on a bit of a tear might be the spark the team needs to bridge to Trout's return. Just one good month from Adell here would be huge for our season.

Jason, do you think the rest of us who are trying to remain hopeful aren't "being real"?'

Maybe a little, maybe a lot but what's unreal is to call the games outcome before the first pitch.

Why in the world are the radio guys broadcasting from the Big A?

Is it too much trouble for Terry and Mark to drive up the freeway to Dodger Stadium? When did this start, this never going on the road? And the crowd noise sounds fake.
