If Grichuck actually wears #15, I will self ban for 10 minutes

Now if Grichuk wears #15 that’s a different story.

If I’ve confused you, look at today’s lineup card.

Let’s go baby!

When did Acuna gain so much weight?

Are they rolling with Rengifo as the leadoff hitter from here on out? Because Neto has been so in and out and they want a consistent leadoff hitter?

I think Renfroe got moved up a little too high in the order based on decent production in one series.

Renfroe 11-19 in past 5 games, streaky hitter, take advantage.

Rengifo en fuego this month (1.022 OPS in 78 PAs), and recently has risen his vs RHP OPS from high .500s to .623.

I don't know, but I hope his eyesight is screwed up, he's wearing glasses too.

well it's definitely possible to put a crooked number up on Morton and the Braves tonight

Strikes a lot of batters out, and walks a lot of them too.  Approaching 40th birthday

No kidding. Let’s hope a couple days doesn’t turn into several starts…

Wasn’t Drury coming back right after the break at one point?

Considering his long layoff after the back injury, a week off may not be the worst thing for him.

Effin' Minasian.  He trades for Grichuk and gets some guy named Grichuck instead.  Even worse, Nevin puts him in the lineup

He's hot yeah but it would be nice to see the team go with a set lead-off hitter at some point if they're going to make a run.

When Drury comes back Rengifo goes back to being a sub so who leads off then?

[No Roles]

see ohtani laughing having fun !!! he is gonna be an angel for life...

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

who got sent down for CJ and Randal? Velasquez l hope

[jsnpritchett]

Do the announcers sound slightly muffled to anyone else?

[Erstad Grit]

Blue Jays losing!

[Erstad Grit]

Angels winning!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Rengifo is getting hot, good for him.

[daygloman]

Nice start!

Go Halos!

[Blarg]

Rengifo wants a ring.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Great start! Now do it again, Ohtani!

[Biergott]

Stay hot Rainfro!
