A 5-through-9 of Upton-Pujols-Iglesias-Suzuki-Fowler perhaps seems a little uninspiring, but this could be the Opening Day lineup the Angels run out.

Getting to see Rodriguez pitch is the prize for sitting through this game, I guess.
What? The Phil Gosselin HR did nothing for you?
Thought Chicks dug the HRs?
Thats embarrassing
AM 570, flipping over now
Hello, everybody! Just wanted to chime in on the broadcast bashing with my sad story. We were victims of the Frontier/FSW shutout last year, and I was just sure they would resolve it over the winter. Wrong. Changed providers two weeks ago —- ‘hooray, baseball’ we cried! And then we heard the new broadcast team. We are still crying.
This cable/streaming war is ridiculous. Happy you overcame it. I’m biting the bullet with Spectrum. Yep, the new crew is not getting raves in this CTPG. We need a filter button.
So an entire Trout at bat talking about Ohtani and blisters.
Sutton got really into Slegers there. Really into him
You don’t dig the passionate man grunts going to break??
Hahaa…I noted that too, over-amped.
4 hits in 2 nights and I believed we were set with a hitting line up.
The Ole Fletcherydo!
We’ve given up like a miles worth of HRs in 1.5 games
Perry says Chris Rodriguez makes the team. Nice!
So unless the Angels cut Guerra or Claudio only 2 of the 8 bullpen peeps will have options
I don’t think that’s too bad a ratio. If Cishek, Watson, Guerra or Claudio suck they are easy to cut. One of Slegers/Barria/Hoyt get the final pen spot and rotate in and out of the big leagues with Buttrey.
Well there’s always the phantom injury….
True and the bullpen will definitely have tons of real injuries too. I’m starting to get conformable with our pen depth now.
Not exactly top tier talent but serviceable.
True but I think that is better than what Eppler was doing
Plus Pena will return at some point in the next month or too and he still has options as well. So i really like our depth but I wouldn’t put it past Perry to shit can some of our early BP signings. Now if they would just apply that same philosophy to Fowler…..
Yeah I wonder how long a leash he has as a starter
Can Sutton gubi and jose be done talking about how in sync Pujols and trout are??
Gubi is just as big a motor mouth as Sutton is. Victor did a good job balancing Gubi’s non-analytical commentary. But with Sutton…seems to amplify the noise. And the backdrop of this stadium just sucks. Hate the effen Dodgers.
I think it was a couple of years ago that Pujols was selling his home at Shady Canyon and I thought it was odd that he had a big portrait of Mike Trout in his master bedroom. So i think they must be reeaallly in sync (if you know what mean)
Have seen Pujols (and GA, Dan Haren) at the Albertsons off Shady Cyn a few times.
Did they bring their own bags?
Ohtani getting lit up and injured, Pujols grounding into double plays. It’s like the ultimate comfort food.
3rd place in al west here we come
Again
Naturally
You can’t make it up
JUp comes thru again
So with our 3 new additions only Hoyt has options. So who will be odd men out?
Fan Graphs thinks that Hoyt will be optioned to the alternate site. CRod will not make the opening day roster but Barria will be kept as a long man.
Love CRod but would like to see him make it as a starter. Let hime work in his craft in the minors this year.
me too. I think the Angels would be better off having Barria stretched out a starter in AAAA
So Ohtani had some blisters on his middle finger. Not the worst it could have been.
He picked at his hand a couple of times I was wondering if that were case. Hopefully it won’t affect his first start
Goose!!
Duck Duck?
Gosselin HR quack quack
No shutout!
Last night the broadcast was bad. Tonight it’s worse. There is no chemistry whatsoever. It takes time to develop that but I see little evidence that is going to happen at this point.
Well we got to get these zeros off the board
