That's more like it.

I feel like the 2 spot puts too much pressure on him, especially to 'get on base' instead of purely focusing on driving the ball.

This probably doesn't require a thread but it needs to be said, Ohtani is a slugger and a clean-up type hitter.  Trout gets on base more often and should bat in front of Ohtani.  I'll keep saying it even if the haters keep hating, I'll sing it from the mountain tops.

I actually agree with you.

I'm done posting here, so many meanie heads, later babies

People are concerned he might get a boo boo if he pitches too long

Glad Maddon took my advice and switched Walsh and Rendon. I still think Trout should be batting 2, Ohtani is a bases cleaner.

No 

No.

I think that's the last time we start Quintana, I guess he really is a 9 ERA pitcher.  Dude is just hittable.

I feel like Rendon needs to be somewhere else in the lineup, I suggested lead-off.   Sounds stupid but is it?

Angels aren't saying anything because they know this umpire is losing his job, lmao

Yes 

No. 

Hey guys, I thought I was banned but I guess I have been given another chance, thanks.
Love seeing all the cry babies change their tune these past few games, haha.

I hope being completely embarrassed wakes this team up, because going through the motions against Royals Rangers and Astros aint' cutting it.  We're having humble pie tonight.

Trout did look like he extended his elbow but it was so quick it was hard to tell. Not sure why he would willingly get hit in the elbow with a fastball.

Rendon and Trout have the highest OBP on the team and get on base. 
Fletcher and Iglesias are high contact guys. 
There's absolutely nothing crazy to suggest a change in the order would benefit the team until Fletcher can make an adjustment to those defensive alignments and what pitchers are doing with him in the batters box. 

Mayers had a 0.91 ERA before being overused by Maddon, sure he shouldn't have thrown a 1-2 meatball but mistakes happen when over using relievers.  Pulling C-Rod when he hadn't given up a single hit was a mistake, Maddon needs to stop over managing and stick to the winning hands, this going against logic to look like a genius thing isn't working well.

Maddon lost this game, also Trout failing with bases loaded deflated our confidence.

He used to walk but now he's swinging at anything close.  His value was making the pitcher throw and then hitting late in the count or walking.

I wonder if that contract has gotten into Fletcher's head?
