He’s been solid. Like the different arm slots and angles that the ball comes out of his hand. A different closer style from the typical flame throwers.

Patty has an unhealthy obsession with “Jimmy”

So after tonight the Angels have 5 games left . According to Zuks he will catch tomorrow and next Tuesday and I suspect Stassi will catch Ohtani for the season ender.

I hope Nevin lets the kid catch on Sunday & Monday

Im kind of shocked that Nevin didn’t let Detmers come out for the 7th. It’s his last start of the year it’s not like he’s saving him for the playoffs or something.

Totally agree. Not like he’s been roughed up.

the current conversation at home..

Wife: the neighbor down the street likes the red sox, doesn’t he?
Me: yes, and I’ve kept my mouth shut
Wife: well you can’t discriminate just because of someone’s sports preference
Me: (to myself) well I’ve kept my mouth shut

A few years ago my daughter was dating a Red Sox fan. I told my brother in law that “you know it could be worse as he could have been a murderer.”

But My brother in Law responded ” I wouldn’t be so sure of that as you know they can rehabilitate a murderer”

Will the Angels carry 3 catchers next year Including Thaiss?

Thaiss will likely draw the short stick if the decision is based on catcher only, but he may also be a good back-up first baseman to Walsh.

Good question. Roster resource shows that right now Thaiss (along with other main players Ward, Rengifo, Suarez, Sandy, Walsh & Squid) still have 1 option left but I dont know what constitutes a usage of an option before next year.

For example Ward will for sure still retain one option left next year along with Walsh because they were never optioned down to the minors this season.

I haven’t learned the playoffs format since we’re not in them. I hope there comes a point where learning it becomes relevant.

The only relevant part is because of the expanded playoff format the Mariners will be able to finally end their 20 year post season drought

Sometimes Detmers looks like Cy Young, other times he looks like, well, Reid Detmers.

WE really need Jo to figure it out. he has virtually no trade value and we really have no other viable options in the system other than Moniak or maybe this guy?: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=cabbag000tre

Was Trey hurt this year? Not too many ABs. I remember earlier in the year, some nice blasts off his bat.

He was crushing it and then broke his arm in a base running collision. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/angels-trey-cabbage-facing-extended-absence/

Got it, thanks. That was too bad, he was doing well. I remember the walk-off shot in the rain, reminiscent of the Natural.

Happy he did not hot dog it around the bases with his paltry batting average.
