I wonder what this rotation:

Skenes RHP

Sandoval LHP

Jones RHP

Falter LHP

Keller RHP

could do with this lineup:

Cutch DH RH

Joe 1B RH

Mike Trout CF RH

Oneil Cruz SS LH

Taylor Ward RF RH

Bryan Reynolds LF SH

Nick Gonzales 2B RH

Hayes 3B RH

Davis/Bart C RH

Termarr and a Bubba/Endy I think could get you those guys if the Angels are finally ready to rebuild plus it'd net you $80/$90M on Trout's deal. One or two of Jack, Taylor and Olivares could be dealt. Preister could be moved to the pen or dealt.

Payroll doesn't even go up _terribly_ Bob. Trout should be back in 2-3 weeks and was having a good season prior to the knee. What's a Mike Trout in the lineup do for a Bryan Reynolds? An Oneil Cruz?

Hoping that hayes hitting two balls hard, hank finally running into one, and nicolas taking care of business are three positive predictors for the future. Would gladly trade a loss, if so

I said damn near the same thing to a buddy of mine. We booted this game but a few signs hopefully pointing north. Take the series tomorrow and get ready for the Rox

Welp still at 32 with now 95 left. #33 will come tomorrow with Mitchie the Kid on the Bump and the Bucs will take the series. 😁

That has to be a big boost for Nicolas's confidence.

Yeah, if nothing else this may be huge for Nicolas (and big for Davis too).

Let's hope this is Nicolas from now on.

Hank!!!!!!!!!

Nicolas does look good when he's not walking the park.

The first pitch was the one Hayes should have hit. You can't go deep into counts with Gray.

Any updates on Delay?

Playing in AAA.

Key would have at least knocked that down. Arenado is overrated

All that work Nicky with Jack Wilson......did they use a first baseman in their drills?

This is one of those innings that just kills a game. Everything kinda breaks wrong, a little bad luck.

Although that DP helps.

Still don’t have an out…

hate to say it, Arenado gets that

I dunno Arenado should have had that one

Key has never been very good with tags! Always sweeping, rather than holding the tag.

Ross with three HRs.
