[Halo in Chicago]

I like this lineup!

[Second Base]

The Blue Jays lineup is so far superior to the Angels. Gausman is tough on the mound too. Giolito is going to need to toss zeros tonight. 

[Biergott]

Huge sigh of relief seeing Ohtani in there!

Haven’t had meaningful games like this that late into the season in a long time.

I understand the sentiment. But the Angels as a team are ahead of the Jays in almost every offensive category. By several places.

Been way too long, let's get a BIG W in first game. I'm picking Cabbage for big game.

Plus the Halos have good LHHs in the lineup against the righty Gausman.

That’s been a big weakness in past years, aside from Ohtani.

As much as we’ve ripped on Rengifo, he’s been every bit as good as Drury, if not better, in his absence.

Rengifo has been big help since all-star break.

I thought he was about to hit off live pitching? I must be mistaken.

I think you’re thinking of O’Hoppe @tdawg87.  He’s taking live BP today and tomorrow.

It is really hard to believe that the Angels are achieving these ranks without the likes of Trout, Drury and yes….even Rendon in the line up.  

It’s stunning to me.  Now let’s just keep winning.

Apple TV again?

Is Perry done with trades?

Neto...argh!!

[TroutField]

Sounds like that oblique is going to give him a tough time the rest of the season. 
 

Ugh
