In what clown world is Wallach a DH?

I didn't even think to note that Ohtani is still out until I saw a tweet about it.

[Halo in Chicago]

I think we have seen the last of Ohtani. 

[Duren, Duren]

I'm in Newport Beach for a little quickie four day getaway. Going to the game tonight. Hopefully I'll have a picture of two. 

I was in a sports merch store earlier and saw a few Angel display things. A bunch of Japanese tourists were buying tons of Ohtani stuff. Why oh why are Rendon jerseys on display with Trout and Ohtani? Shouldn't they be on a clearance rack? I did see a cool heavy anniversary jacket with all kinds of insignias and a 2002 patch. With Anaheim written on the back. $200 retail. 

Looking forward to the stadium snacks, giveaway jersey and maybe a win.

Maybe Wallach will hit better if can relax in the dugout for most of the game.

I'm just trying to figure out the reason for this ridiculous move.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Just waiting for the Othani is done for the season tweet.

[Vlad27Trout27]

I'd probably just have O'hoppe DH and rest that arm.

[jsnpritchett]

I assume the reasoning is "Hey, Wallach is a righty and the pitcher is a lefty--and we literally don't have any other right-handers on our active roster".  Still seems kinda funny, though.  Just let Moustakas or somebody DH.  But it doesn't really matter at the end of the day, especially given what a shitshow this season is at this point.

Of course, he'll now probably hit 2 HR and get a triple or something...

The oft waived Gricheck is our best hitter?

Almost time to head to the stadium!

Amazingly, Wallach has a higher OPS against LHP this season than Trout (.829 to .773) He also has more home runs and RBI's than Trout in 30 fewer at bats.

Gonna be hot out there.

That has to be one of the worst offensive lineups in 60 years of Angels baseball….they’ll probably score 10 runs…

Those of you still following along with this season are hardcore.

Coincidentally, I just watched the movie Hardcore this morning (no joke).

Exactly.
