I think it's time for Mike to move Albert down in the order until he starts to come around and move Kole into the fourth spot.

 

Hopefully Shoe can build on his recent success.

 

Other than that..Go Halos!!!!

Didn't Miley dominate us last year?

This should be fun

You're goofy

Good move batting Gia second ... showing him some confidence maybe he'll break his slump.

You might be right but we did beat Felix last night and he's had a ton of success against us in the past.

We need a blow out today to rest our Bullpen. We can't have Street and Smith in today that will be four games in a row.

Skipper knows best

[Angelsfirst]

I like Gia in the 2 and Soto in the 6 hole. I also think Shoe throws a quality start. I'm calling a W today.

"In Albert's case, the best course of action is patience," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's gonna find it. I don't think there's any consideration (to moving him down)."

 

 

From the OCR article.  Mike "doesn't think there's any consideration" for moving Pujols down the lineup......I thought Mike was in charge of the lineup?  Is he not sure of his own thoughts?

Guy will probably make the Hall of Fame as a manager, but bullpen management and cronyism have always been his two biggest faults.

+1

Guy will probably make the Hall of Fame as a manager, but bullpen management and cronyism have always been his two biggest faults.

Which might explain why players want to play for him. He is going to give that starter a chance to win the game, the closer to set a single season record, the hitter a chance to break the slump.

​GO ANGELS!!!! Go Matt Shoemaker!!!

Turn Saturday's win into the start of a streak and keep the ball down, Shoe.

 

Go Albert!!! Pretend April is done with and that it's May already. It could improve your state of mind. Ignore the doubters.

[jsnpritchett]

Every time I watch Simmons, he does something bone-headed.  Apparently every game I DON'T watch, he has "web gems."

[kingsosha]

why is giovatella so short

[Angelsfirst]

Defensive wiz Andrelton Simmons ladies and gentlemen.

[Jason]

Come on Shoe!!

[Ohtaniland]

Game over

[Jason]

And the obligatory HR.

[Angels#1Fan]

The Shoe failed to keep it in the park.
