Line-Up

The second goal for the Mike Scioscia in these Angels rumors is the line-up.

Believe it or not the batting order makes an impact on the game. In the 2016 season the Angels had streaks of getting on base and then they had streaks of not being able to get on base. If they need to change their line-up it would the middle of the order.

Mike Scioscia needs to start a player with a strong bat to ball contact percentage and who is quick to make it to base.

This will help the Angels stay consistent throughout the game and season. Also, it will assist the bottom half of the lineup and improve them overall.

Additionally, when the game comes down to key plays and LA is at the bottom of the lineup this move will assist them tremendously. Sometimes decisions in life are about quality not quantity.

When you have quality items, there is bound to be more in the future.
