Second inning, and the Jays are already into the Angels' bullpen! When did that last happen?
Whenever I think of the Angels, I think of the 2009 amateur draft. Remember? It went like this:
Stephen Strasburg, Dustin Ackley, Donovan Tate, Tony Sanchez, Matt Hobgood, Zack Wheller, Mike Minor, Mike Leake, Jacob Turner, Drew Storen, Tyler Matzek, Aaron Crow, Grant Green, Matt Purke, Alex White, Bobby Borchering, A.J. Pollock, Chad James, Shelby Miller, Chad Jenkins (sigh), Jiovanni Mier, Kyle Gibson, Jared Mitchell, Randal Grichuk, MIKE FREAKING TROUT!!!!
The pitching match-ups:
Happ (7-4, 4.38) vs Weaver (9-6, 3.56)
Dickey (6-8, 4.10) vs Skaggs (4-4, 4.16)
Stroman (4-2, 3.44) vs Wilson (8-6, 4.23)
Edwin Encarnacion has hit the DL, Nolan Reimold has been added to the active roster. He's playing RF andf hitting eighth. Jose Bautista stays at 1b, Juan Francisco has been dropped to the ninth spot in the order. Oh. what the hell - here's the lineup:
Reyes, ss Calhoun, rf
