Sunday lineup of Sunday lineups.  No Tim.  Collins not DHing vs a RH.  Just a cliff dive after McCann.  Woof...

Is this some sort of common joke about the Angels’ name, or did you invent it so you could let us all know how smart you are?

They dropped “of Anaheim”. It’s just the Los Angeles Angels.

This was a common joke that we used to do on WSI about 10 years ago. It started out as LAASWCUSA but it became this, the joke was to be as specific as possible about the location of Anaheim, CA. It started on WSI. I didn't even come up with it. It was a couple posters on WSI named kittle42 and voodoochile.

If someone is at a team park you can get a very specific coordinate entering 'my location' at searchqueen.com or any well-known search engine. 

First game of the year. Pumped to see Cease get the win!

The first inning woes continue for Cease.

He needs to find something more effective than the curve to lefties.  Also, might want to get him a LHP opener

Dude according to you, everyone needs an opener. That's not how you develop pitchers. 

Why the hell doesn't he throw the change more vs. Lefties? It worked really well vs. The Indians.

Pretty sure he’s the only one I’ve said that about, but go ahead and believe I said that.

You've said it about Lopez as well. You say it about any young pitcher that struggles. You said it about Giolito in 2018 too.

3 walks, a hit, a run and 30+ pitches.  Woof

Nope, actually disagreed when someone mentioned it. It wouldn’t make sense for Lopez, as he has trouble at the beginning with his velocity so the same would happen no matter when he pitches. 

He just needs to be more aggressive early in the game.  He's pussy footing around way too much for a guy with his stuff.  He'll learn that.

Not many competitive pitches, especially breaking pitches.  He’s actually doing his best Fulmer impression.

Cease has to get over this 1st inning mental block

He Gone!

Competitive misses.  Ha. Forgot about that one.  

Is Mendick a good fielder?

I can't figure out if it's the most unfunny joke I've ever seen or the second most unfunny joke I've ever seen.

Another Sox starter not ready in the first inning 

Another out of 100 mph or higher for Eloy
