@Alden_Gonzalez: #Angels lineup: Aybar SS, Calhoun RF, Trout CF, Hamilton LF, Trumbo 1B, Kendrick 2B, Callaspo 3B, Conger C, Shuck DH; Weaver SP. #Rangers

[Jay]

Calhoun moved up to #2, that's a little surprising

[fan_since79]

I like Calhoun batting 2nd before Trout. 

 

The #4 and #5, on the other hand...

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

For those that don't have FSW, the game is going to be on ESPN (4 pm). Hopefully, the game will be watchable.

[SoWhat]

Good to see Kole batting second, perfect spot for a player like him

[jsnpritchett]

JB Shuck is our DH.  JB Shuck.  Still can't believe this season...

they changed the game from 7 to 4 ? interesting

Yes--so it can be on ESPN.

[fan_since79]

The game would have been at 5 our time. They're in Texas.

They're playing in Texas. They changed the game from 7 pm Texas time to 6 pm.

[Angel Oracle]

At least Weaver pitches tonight.

[WallyWorld]

Aybar in the leadoff spot.  That always works.

[CaliAngel]

Ugh goddammit Fat Man, Aybar does not belong in leadoff! I'd rather have freakin' Callaspo in leadoff.

 

Trout batting 3rd is cool, nice to see Calhoun get the 2 slot, but Trumbo and Hamilton should switch spots.

[FireThemAll]

Why Aybar leadoff? .308 OBP is terrible. At least Calhoun is playing and Weaver is pitching....ugh Weaver in Arlington rarely goes well. Looks like another Angels loss is coming....

[CaliAngel]

0-2 when it comes to contributing some worthwhile context there FTA...

who cares if the team loses.  Honestly at this point you just have to root for some of the young guys to come into their own and play well, so we have some leverage to make moves in the offseason and hope for a better 2014.

He's been horrible pitching at the rangers ballpark.

He has over 5 ERA in his career.

[FireThemAll]

Huh??? I posted my opinion man. Back off. It's not like there's much to get excited and positive about when it comes to the Angels right now...

I completely agree. Just sick of losing...and no one being held responsible for it in the FO or the field coaches./..

[rageous]

It's good to see Calhoun batting 2nd.

Now only if they can get rid of Aybar from the leadoff spot.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@MasterTes: Josh Hamilton still receiving boos when lineups announced over PA.

[paws]

Weaver 7.0 IP, 2 BB's.

[markb]

Aybar has such a weird line since the ASB:  .226/.333/.452 

 

Low avg, 5(!) walks, and a bit of pop.  It's bizarro-Aybar

[2002_halos_II]

Shuck has done well at lead off. Hurry back Peter.

Still receiving boos in my living room, too.

We are going to light up the Rangers today.
