Washington is changing things up again!

Good to see Hicks back in lineup

O'Hoppe getting a rest. He has played 23 of the Angels 26 games. 

[jsnpritchett]

No roster moves today, so Sano's knee isn't bad enough yet to IL him.  Then again, even if they do IL him, as we discussed in other threads, the options to fill his roster spot are pretty slim.

And batting 5th… awesome…

Trout continuing to lead off is not a good thing, IMO.

Arte’s “frugal” solution to that pesky rodent problem we had a couple years ago.  Way cheaper than Orkin or Corky’s pest control.

R.I.P., Miguel.

Shouldn’t Adell move up in the order, now that his hitting has improved?

Drury is having a tough time getting going.    Hicks has become Hacks.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

I think it is about time to dig up under third base and move the native american skeletons somewhere else. 

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!!!

START A WINNING HABIT!!

10-16 after 26 games. 136 games left until offseason.

He sure should be ahead of Hicks.

I'm watching the Astros game, only stadium with more Mexicans than Dodger stadium.

Who would you put in that spot?

It's more about the fact that Washington doesn't have a better option. Trout should be hitting 2nd or 3rd

Off season will start near trading deadline.

[Vlad27Trout27]

I would move Adell to the lead-off, trout 2nd, and rengifo 3rd.

Preferred Parking is included.

Neto should be leading off and trout 2nd IMO

[Duren, Duren]

With all the playoff hockey I've been PVRing the Angels games to watch later. After four hockey games yesterday the Angels game seemed to be a slow motion comedy of errors. Despite a couple of nice double plays the defense continues to create daily damage. 

As Casey Stengel said, " can't anybody here play this game?" 

And is Trout turning into a Dave Kingman? Massive home runs but poor stats and production otherwise. Trout has better speed and defense than Kingman, but purely as a hitter his regression is troubling in most clutch situations. It now seems habitual rather than an a minor deviation.

If Sano is out for an extended time, I’d play Drury and Rengifo every day at 3b/2b (whichever way Wash prefers) and forget about it.

I'm sure that's what will happen. They'll still need to roster another IF other than Adrianza if that happens, though.
