So Esco to clean-up. Hm.

[fanfromday1]

This reminds me of the lineups that we use to throw out there in the late 60s and early 70s.

[Ray McKigney]

Glad that EY Jr. is starting. Why is Robinson in there? Put in Revere. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

It's kinda pointless to criticize the lineups at this point but... I just don't get this. Simmons has been doing a good job the hit department lately, but not so sure about the on base arena. Calhoun is garbage and he's batting in the most important spot. And Escobar has shown an ability to get on base by putting the ball in play, but I don't see the benefit there for Pujols.

Because we're facing a lefty and Scioscia loves PLATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!

I guess he is a William Dafoe fan

It's all good ... I'm sure a lot of thought went into today's lineup. 

[HaloNArizona]

Meyer and Escobar activated...

Fontana and Morin down?

[HaloNArizona]

Here is hoping Meyer can have another solid performance.

I've always thought Scioscia would platoon Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio.

I think Fontana was sent down yesterday.

Go Halos!!! Go Alex Meyer!!!

Make the Twins regret the trade, Alex!!!

Welcome back, Yunel Escobar!!! Give Albert some cover in the batting order!

600!!! 601!!! 602!! Go Albert!

Go Angels Supporting Cast!!! Shock Swedish America and sweep the Twinkies!!

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

Next time, Albert. Next time.

[eligrba4ever]

Trying to follow Albert's ABs on MLB Network, but the cable in Oregon has had 2 outages in the past 30 minutes.

[Jason]

More HRs given up

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Send Marte down, bring back Cron. Someone told Marte plays more position than Cron so why bring back Cron. I say because Marte doesn't play them well and he can't hit as well as he did last season.

[Troll Daddy]

Marte love starting to sour here

[eligrba4ever]

Spectrum cable, phone and internet outage interrupted, for now, in Oregon. Hope it stays that way.

[JAHV76]

Nice DP to end the inning

[nando714]

Props to Meyer that inning 

come on offense.....

[eligrba4ever]

Returned in time to notice Alex digging out of a serious no-out hole and not giving up a run.
