All truth to be told, that lineup is kind of depressing. Ward the leadoff hitter? Rendon cleanup?

Hopefully we either win or the young ones continue to progress especially Adell.

Neto is in a slump right now hitting .229/.315/.458/.773 the last 12 games and .185/.290/.444/.735 the last 7. 

  Meanwhile Schanuel is on a hot streak hitting .385/.467/.500/.967 over the last 7 games. Jo Adell also playing to potential the last 24 games hitting .289/.352/.482/.834.

Clearly, he can't handle the pressure of hitting in the second spot long-term. Probably needs to be dropped back to 9th. Sad...

It would be nice to win one of these four games.

Must win game today.

[fan_since79]

3 K's on 11 pitches.

Cy Somebody-or-other...

[fan_since79]

Now how did the hell did that happen?!

[jsnpritchett]

Fulmer is a moron.  Grabbed a ball that was on the foul line that clearly would have rolled foul, then chucked it past first base.  Amateur hour.

Name calling is mean.

Fullmer sucks.

Genuinely surprised he's doing that well.

[fan_since79]

O'Hoppe now 5 for his last 54.

[fan_since79]

Great at-bat from Adell!

I'm liking what I'm seeing from him lately.

But then you won’t post.

A&W is still around?

GO ANGELS!!!!

DON'T GET SWEPT!!!

Fulmer has a very strange follow through.  He jerks his head down and up.  That has to take a toll on his neck at some point.
