Detmers getting pounded now.

[Angelsfan1984]

Should have bet me. Clearly I was wrong

Tbf he shouldn't be batting 4th. He's a solid bench guy, but unfortunately he has to be in the lineup every game right now.

They are better off bringing up Thaiss and letting him play 1st.

He possibly cannot play any worse than Gosselin and he obviously has much more upside especially going forward.

[tdawg87]

You'd think after 110 games these fucktards would learn how to pitch to the shift but this is the Angels so of course they haven't.

I agree, just not today.

[Justin]

It feels like Eaton or Gosselin might be pitching in the 7th inning today.

I already have a lifetime membership.

Also, you're shitty at predictions.

[tdawg87]

Detmers isn't ready. Throwing him into the fire in his first 2 starts was probably a bad idea.

[fan_since79]

Yikes.

This defense.

[jsnpritchett]

WTF kind of throw was that from Igelsias?

[Justin]

Ok this is just straight-up pathetic.

A confidence killer.

[UndertheHalo]

Very sad. 

[Docwaukee]

Wtf Reid.  I've watch at least 2/3rds of his starts this year and he didn't have the horrible command one time that we've seen between last start and today so far.  

[Jay]

Dodgers turning up the pressure on the basepaths.

[tdawg87]

Terrible defense, dumb shift calling, terrible pitching. The Angels are on full display in the 1st inning.

This is as bad as it gets so hopefully he learns from it.

[jonickell25]

Should be two easy outs and only one run. But, you shift vacating the whole shortstop area and Iglesias makes a garbage side armed throw home

I mean, dude, it's the Angels.

He's ready.  He's yet to do anything that he's done in the minors.  

[rageous]

Who would have thought that Detmers would be the worst out of all our young pitchers?

Not sure if he should work it out in the majors or get sent down to work on things.
