But who's going to finish the last 3 innings?

Maddon will use 5 pitchers to finish the last 3 innings, but only 3 pitchers will actually enter the game.

I miss when Walsh didn't suck.

Cobb needs a 1 pitch inning.

Cabrera’s decline is just sad

Yeah, it's worse than Pujols' in some ways.

I'm amazed that this Detroit team has even won 29 games so far.  Cabrera is just as bad as Pujols, I wonder what the fans take on him these days is.  Hence the coming sweep.

[ScottT]

Great outing by Cobb so far. Hopefully he ends up with great results for once, too. He's been very unlucky this year.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Cabrera is lying about his age, too

He’s going to have to learn how to deal with slumps. I guess that’s a normal part of MLB development 

[tdawg87]

The Tigers are playing smart though. Get to the Angels pen as early as possible.

2 runs ain't gonna do it.

We have good Cobb tonight.

Do we like Cobb again?

Obviously Detroit respects Cabrera.

No.

Rengifo better stay in this lineup

It helps to pitch against this Tigers lineup   Amazing how the Angels pitching staff loos good against bad teams and bad against good teams.  Just need more games against the cellar dwellars.

We’re we looking for a shortstop? Even if he’s playing 2b.

Is that his first ML homer?

[Second Base]

This organization will need to figure out a way of having their next wave of talent (and current wave) all in the lineup at the same time.  

Like Stassi and Thaiss at catcher, Walsh at 1B, Fletcher at 2B, Rengifo at SS, Rendon at 3B, Marsh, Adell and Trout in the OF and Ohtani at DH. 

I think at that point, your offense is set. Spend every free dollar available and every surplus prospect on pitching.  

That's it. That's how the Angels win.

WTF every night.
