Astros at Angels 09/06/2020 Gamethread

The Angels look for the four-game sweep over the Astros, which would win them the season series (this is important as it plays a role in tiebreakers this season). No Mike Trout.

Angels Lineup: Simmons 6, Upton 7, Rendon 5, Pujols 3, Adell 8, Stassi 6, Rengifo 4, Ward 9, Barreto 10. Barría 1.

Edit: Rengifo has been scratched due to injury, and Walsh is in the lineup.

Astros Lineup: Springer 8, Reddick 9, Brantley 10, Tucker 7, Correa 6, Díaz 4, Toro 3, Maldonado 2, Mayfield 5. Valdez 1.

Five game winning streak? Just watch, Anaheim gets hit with an asteroid tonight.

That would be fine since its an off day tomorrow. I also hope it hits City Hall, which would enable me to retire.

ASStros go down in 4, not much of a chance to cheat.

I will never forgive that franchise for how they cheated, lied, and their front office PsOS.

17-25. Is that right? That’s like an almost ok record for a losing club.

Razor-edge 4 run lead going into the bottom of the 9th. We may lose a tough one here.
Butters?

Pujols may not get it this year. Think he may retire after his contract is up?

Will Trout reach 400 HRs before Albert reaches 660?
