Astros @ Angels 08/15/2021 Gamethread

The opponents for Reid Detmers’s first stint in the big leagues simply will not get easier. The Astros lead the league in batting average, and while Detmers has shown flashes, it’s been more rain than sunshine so far (which is completely fine!).

Astros Lineup: Altuve 4, Brantley DH, Correa 6, Alvarez 7, Gurriel 3, Díaz 5, McCormick 8, Meyers 9, Maldonado 2. McCullers 1.

Angels Lineup: Ohtani DH, Fletcher 4, Walsh 3, Gosselin 5, Upton 7, Marsh 8, Adell 9, Suzuki 2, Mayfield 6. Detmers 1.

My first time getting to participate in the cheater’s chant! Second favorite thing for today’s game after Detmers’ strong six innings.

That second pitch was a gift.

Damn change-up.

I hate that pitch. He was dominating with just the fastball and slider.

Why go to the change ??

Not Adell in right. Pay attention to the game

I’d take Castro over Suzuki as our catcher 10/10. I will never understand that signing

THAT is almost perfect pitching; 95mph followed by 97mph both on the edges.

I really like Adell. You can tell he has passion. Rooting hard for him to turn into that All-Star level player his potential is!

But…he should aim for a GG. He needs to chat with Lagares…LOL

He made a pretty good play in LF last night.

That’s good and hoping he is getting better. His first step does not look at definitive as say…Marsh. Needs lots of after game practice. Better get my fungo ready.

He’s already better than Upton for a fraction of the price!
