For the Tigers, top pitching prospect Matt Manning is making his debut.  He's been hammered in AAA this season, but he's been on multiple top 100 lists basically since he was drafted in 2016.

Rendon might be available to pinch hit, at least.

[Chuck]

Rendon coming out of the dugout to pinch hit like.

[Angel Oracle]

Waiting for the “Rendon put on the DL”press release

Oh thank God!

Ohtani + tigers hitters = no hitter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then he gets pulled after 80 pitches and the bullpen blows it.

one of the worst hitters and players in all of baseball hitting 5th. Where the f is Iggy? he just returned from IL he had enough days off.

so basically Othani is not going to throw a no hitter and the  will not blow the lead

WTF, this game is only on YouTube? wtf last time I watched a game on youtube, it was awful.

Fletcher in 53 June PAs so far:

.320/.358/.380/.738

Fletcher since May 22:

.338/.393/.401/.794

Isn’t it time to move him back up in the  order?

Yeah I’m tired of upton and fletcher succeeding.  Let’s put things back.

Upton can stay where he is.

Fletcher should be getting more chances at 4 PAs/game than any of those 5th through 8th place hitters.

Which in itself a sad statement about the lineup.

Hey, it's IL not DL.

 

[Angel Oracle]

It gets better when Trout and Rendon are healthy and stay healthy.

RHP:

Upton, Ohtani, Trout, Walsh, Rendon, Stassi, Fletcher, Ward, Iglesias 

LHP:

Upton, Ohtani, Trout, Rendon, Stassi, Gosselin, Fletcher, Ward, Iglesias

Can the pitching do their part?

GO ANGELS!!!

Go Ohtani Shohei!!!

Don't give Detroit fans a weekend of false hope. Give it to us.

[Lou]

I don't want to read people bitching about the players. Remember, it's Arte's and the GMs fault.

 

Note: only @Jeff Fletcherand I are allowed to complain about a player's performance.

Suzuki is hitting .357 with a 1.042 OPS in June, and .337 over his last seven games.

Stadium doesn't look anywhere near full yet.  Maybe not much demand for this matchup? Might be why they kept offering half price tickets.

[eligrba4ever]

You Tube is Gubi and Matty V. and the ex-Giant, ex-Philly Rajai Davis.

It's just a day without Daron and Jose.

 

EDIT: Alex is there for the Tube!!!
