Question about Angels batting order

1. Mike Trout (R) LF 2. Erick Aybar (S) SS 3. Albert Pujols (R) 1B 4. Josh Hamilton (L) RF 5. Mark Trumbo (R) DH 6. Howard Kendrick (R) 2B 7. Alberto Callaspo (S) 3B 8. Chris Iannetta (R) C 9. Peter Bourjos (R) CF

Why does Trout bat in front of Aybar?

Why does Albert bat in front of Hamilton?

This is stupid but what do I know. I'm just a degenerate.

Come to think of it. This whole batting order is a mess. No wonder why they're sucking.

Ianneta in front of Bourjous?

Hire me.

my guess is because of the Parker, right hand pitcher?

I agree and as a big rangers fan I just watched. They think Hamilton will protect Pujols but Hamiltons best days are behind. Just watch and see. He will be very good but not what he was last couple years. I Bourjos bats last so there is speed in front of Trout and Aybar which I agree with. Aybar is a weird fit in this line up. I would not bat him in 2 hole for sure. I would also not have my line up close to this one.

But same goes for the Rangers with Mr Pop up himself at leadoff (Kinsler) and Andrus in the 2 hole.

Mike Soscia sucks as a coach, thats why!!! He changes his fricking lineup all the time. No one gets used to a certain spot in the order.

And I live 5mins from the park.....still dont understand why everyone thinks Scocia is a goood coach.

 

Can someone explain that to me???????

No worries, I'm local in Ca and a big Angel fan so we're both ontop of our teams. I agree with your lineup but there's no speed at the top. Angels have always used power and speed in fine fashion but they're going away from it.

How about this.

Bourjous

Trout

Hamilton

Albert

Trumbo

Kendrick

Aybar

Callaspo Ianetta.

Well at least you guys have Speed leading off. Give ya that. Halos have it all messed up. I wouldn't even bat Hamilton in the 3-4 hole because he isn't strong enough. The money and contracts are ruining this team.

Bat Josh in the 2 hole until he finds a weightroom.

Funny, I was going to mention that. I think his tiger days are over, the man is just too soft now. Ever since the big Albert contract arrived he's been more concerned with appeasing management.

The Halo steals, hit an runs, drags an squeezes are over. We're playing 1990's Red Sox baseball now. Swing hard and hope.

Just blow this team up.  It's a failed experiment.  They suck cawk and will be neck and neck with the Astros for last place and 50 wins.  Laughing stock of MLB.

Btw, how you doing Search?  Long time no speak.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Harrison's back is hurt or we'd have swept the fat boys
