Joyce’s first pitch: clean single. 2nd pitch: double play! Then 9 pitches to K Rojas, with one sinker at 93 mph, al the rest over 102 mph. Man o man!

Okay, now to score 5 runs this inning and make it a laffer on the way to Dana’s 1st win.

This umpire is pretty atrocious.

Bad called 3rd strike on Ward, but he has to cover with 2 strikes.

WHEW! 11 pitch AB ends in a K for Miller! That felt epic to me.

Mariners got Drury out. He had singled and walked. He’s not invincible, folks.

Great debut for a 20 yr old on a hot day. Mound presence plus-plus.

What are your thoughts on next year’s rotation if it’s Soriano, Dana, Kochanowitz, Detmers, and somebody else.

It would be a young rotation but I want to see what these four can do, I think Aldegheri will get some starts as will Silseth if he is healthy. I thought that we would keep Canning but now I am wondering if we might non-tender him.

Seems pretty volatile. If you believe the Angels as composed are not likely to contend until 2027, I think it’s fine.

But I’m skeptical that Koch can contend over the long-term, Detmers has obviously been a headscratcher, and hard to know about Soriano’s health. It’d be nice to bring in a couple more arms in the offseason.

Thanks. Yeah, I am unsure when the Angels think they can contend. Wash gave an inteview on a ESPN podcast saying that the team wants to win next year….but that is going to be tough.

I mean, given track record and the fact they have him through 2028 now, you definitely give Detmers every chance to recover. And if he has a clean bill of health, Soriano is someone you want to keep on track.

Anderson feels like a placeholder at best, and Canning, Koch and Aldegheri are each arms I wouldn’t build a rotation around (yet). So I think you still want 2-3 more arms for enough depth to weather underperformance and injury, as Dana and Soriano try to navigate a first full season.

Looks like the team has a long-term closer and some SIRP possibilities at the moment.
