No Adell, no Rengifo.

This is not the Angels best lineup.

I get that Adell needs to be in there but Hicks is the better defender and hits LHP much better than RHP in his career.

I would have liked to see Rengifo in there as well as Adell.  However going against Luzardo, defense is going to be key because not a lot of runs are being scored.

Adell is possibly the future. Hicks is a warm body and should be treated as depth.

Yep, dude totally dominated the Halos in a 2022 start at Angel Stadium (12 Ks, only 2 hits).

Ooooo I love this. Going to use this on X. Nicely done, @Lazorko Saves

Can you put Schanuel in the middle of the back seat since he's from the area too?

Not mine, it's from the broadcast last night.

Do not understand why Adell and Rengifo not in lineup. Again I know it is early in season but Adell a better player than Hicks.

Hicks will be DFA sometime in May if not sooner. Halos will have 4 OF and add an INF.

Free Jo Adell!

Gonna need runs with Anderson pitching. 

[TroutField]

Hopefully this Rendon experiment can end when someone steps up and shows they are a solid leadoff option.

Nolan should be leading off.  He has a great eye too and has good at-bats.  He's also better than Rendon as a hitter at this stage of their careers. Rendon should be at the bottom of the order.

LOL at including Stroman. He's going to be 33 on May 1st and has been in the big leagues since 2014. He's had five 3+ WAR seasons in the 2014-21 range. I guess they have to include a Yankee.

I think Harris has broken out - but I suppose he could get better.
