With Trout out for the time being, might go with;

1. Schanuel 1b

2. Adell cf (Grawd hope he's breaking out for reals, we need)

3. Rengifo 2b ( probably our 2nd best overall hitter)

4. Ward LF( best hitter, power needs to come around)

5. O'hoppe C ( needs to start using the whole field approach, has been to pull happy)

6. Drury 3b (hopefully he's coming around)

7. Moniak  Cf ( he's finally going to get his extended opportunity, needs to run away with it)

8. DH (who do we have? I would consider bringing up another Backup C, and give thaiss some time at Dh 

9 l. Neto.( hopefully he's turning it around)

I will watch see how young players develop.

I'm watching, always interesting to see how a team attacks unforeseen problems.  Trout as of last night was something like 3-24 with runners in scoring position.  Someone might get hot and do much better than that.  Looking at the Phillies lineup my expectation for success are pretty low, but winning would be more glorious than ever.  Someone mentioned earlier that Marisnak was injured at AAA, what's his problem?

[Angelsjunky]

It usually takes a few months before I enter the mindset of "I secretly hope they lose as many games as possible, so we get a good draft pick." Can't remember the last time that happened in April.

His problem is that he is no longer an even passably decent baseball player. 

[Angels 1961]

Let's win one for Mike tonight. Has the fire in RW belly gone out. Remember when many thought 5 OF were too many.

I watch but I won’t spend money on this team. I did my obligation with taking my daughter to walk the field but some of the proceeds went to the league. We cancelled our season tickets two years ago (which were some of the best seats in the stadium). Until Arte sells I’m not going to contribute to the ongoing debacle.

Would have preferred them call up Adams or Teodosio to platoon with Moniak in CF. 

Gah

I think w a little bad luck and a few implosions, Sandoval can match Abbott’s 2-18 ‘96 season.

Buckle up boys.... the Angels are going to be about it tonight!

He's a big Bryce Harper fan.

Anderson needs to pitch a shutout tonight for the team to have a chance.
