[Chuck]

 

Cron and Giavotella get benched after they both had a good night at the plate.

We don't like to sweep world champion baseball teams I guess

[Stradling]

Why do you say that Nando?

[Angel Oracle]

Pennington and Choi - 3 for 7 prediction

[Jason]

Yeah I don't get it. If these two are coming around why stop the momentum? Do they have terrible records against KC's starter or something?

[Billy_Ball]

Looks like Ortega has seized the left field spot.  He's played very good so far.  Decent hitting, good defense, speed.  Might be a steal for Eppler.

It might have something to do with the pitcher being right handed.

Hunch although Volquez is RH

Get two bats going, bench them and try to get two other bats going. This must be Mike Scioscias strategy.

Sounds like Sosh is over thinking this.

I'd rather our everday guys get going instead of bench dudes

obviously didn't read the previous post about the pitcher being right handed.

 I am curious, how does Scioscia playing two rookies over two veterans fall  under Scioscia's preference to veterans theory that so many have on this board?

Maybe they have the photos that Mathis has been handing down 

[gurn67]

Maybe they were acting cocky last night after getting some hits. It's something Mike Brady would do.

[OregonLAA]

I'm as hard on Scioscia as anyone here but I don't care about who is sitting today. He obviously preps lineups days in advance. He always has. No biggie

[arch stanton]

He replaced two righties with two lefties. Maybe he's using some of that fancy new analytics.

[Stradling]

I like Pennington. Choi? He'll get on base tonight and hitting in front of Escobar that will be nice.

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!

 

SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Nick Tropeano!!

Give us an excuse to break out our brooms.

Keep the ball in the park, NiTro.

Go Trout!!! Go Albert, clean it up!!! Go Simba!!!

​Go lefties Choi and Pennington!!!

As Roger just said: Let's Get A Win!!!!

[Docwaukee]

As long as Trout is in the lineup, I don't really care.

[Glen]

Much to my surprise I'll actually get to watch this game, so yeah...sorry about blowing the sweep.

[RallyPanda]

LETS GO HALOS!!!!!!

[Glen]

Well, shit.

[RallyPanda]

I hate Hosmer!

[Glen]

We can bounce back.
