Three Observations from LA Angels Opening Day Loss to Athletics

In today’s the Halos only collected three hits. None of those came with runners in scoring position however, to be fair, there weren’t many opportunities for that as the entire Halo lineup seemed a little off today.

What was relevant was how much they missed the duo of Justin Upton and Shohei Ohtani in this lineup. Their ability to hit for power and drive in runs was severely missed today. Trout and Kole Calhoun each got on base twice, but neither was able to come around and score due to the collective 0-7 from Bour and Simmons.

When you have Justin Bour and Andrelton Simmons in your third and fourth spot, respectively, that isn’t going to bode well for your offense.
