The biggest disappointment for me is Detmers. I didn’t see the game but it looked like there wasn’t much there. Not giving up on him, but still…

He’s 22. First start. Needs to learn to stay out of the middle of the plate.

He actually looked pretty good. He’s got good stuff. He’s legit.

A major league curveball and great control. He will be a top-of-the-rotation guy in a couple seasons

That happened when Trout was injured and Q was given the ball every 5th day.

Pretty much. If there is someone who’d take Upton’s contract, I’d unload him too.

Bad thing about Upton is his NTC.

Next year, hope we don’t see Thaiss, Marsh, Rengifo, Mayfield, Cishek, Guerra, Mayers…. I’m sure I’m missing a few.

I’m sure Walsh on your Do not see Again list in the beginning of last season.

Marsh will be fine with more Ab’s as long as he stays healthy.

I don’t think so. I like Walsh. I was at the game in Minnesota for his debut.

Can’t include Marsh in that.

You have a lot of the list but I wouldn’t include Marsh. Add Eaton, Lagares, Suzuki. I’d give Ward more time. But you nailed it – half our lineup with injuries is just below replacement level.

Nice AB Thaiss. Time to go back to AAA

They should just let Trout finish out the year on the IL. Rendon too.

It will be because there will be a strike and the Angels can’t lose if they don’t play.

Ohtani with 2 DP? That ever happened before?

Nope. And the Angels have never scored less than 5 runs total in a 4 game series.

Pulling up subfloor and lost track of time. Looking over the stats tells me a higher power was looking out for my emotional happiness

4 runs over 35 innings against the A’s. That’s not going to win a lot of series

Simply cannot win with this lineup and a hitless Ohtani. That’s not Ohtani’s fault, no player dominates every series.

Ohtani might just challenge Pujols DP record.
