Gameday Thread: Angels @ Dodgers (8/8/21): Detmers on the mound, no Upton

[Stradling]

Good hitters doing what good hitters do.  And of course the shift and a lolligag throw from Iglesias.  

[BritAngel]

What a friggin shambles this could get embarrassing.

Schoolboy pitcher on mound who is clearly not ready, certainly don't think you can count on him for next year in the rotation.

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

So he's not ready.

He looks horrifying. Like, this is bad.

[failos]

Go away Iglesias. Worthless.

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.

Sorry but he isn’t.  Watch the stuff not the result so far.

This is a very British post.  Thank you sir.

WTF kind of throw was that from Igelsias?

Scorekeepers need more balls to charge errors.  That is a throwing error.

[rageous]

Probably doesn't help that his first two starts are against top 5 lineup in the major league.

It's sad to compare our current lineup against it.

Well, the first hit probably should have been a single, not a double.  The shift screwed him, too.  And then Iglesias did whatever the hell he did.  He's K'ed 2 in a row now.  He's not giving up.

[bloodbrother]

The stupidity really ramps up whenever the Angels bring up any of their top prospects and they, like a lot of prospects, don't have immediate success out of the gate

[Jay]

I don't think he looks that bad.

[Dtwncbad]

Bellinger is so fucking hatable.

Sorry but I disagree.  

[fan_since79]

Detmers could use another year in AAA. I mean, he had only one start there!

[daygloman]

Depending on how this inning ends, so far, it's still worth watching. 

Go Halos!

 

[Jay]

ohhhhhhhhh 

[bloodbrother]

Great recovery by Detmers to limit the damage

[Dtwncbad]

One way for a “not ready” player to get ready is to get thrown into games before he is ready.
