If he sends you 115, can I borrow some to open up this topless car wash I have an idea for? Cheers friend.

Is that the one with a topless barbershop attached?

Won't the car's interior get wet? Doesn't sound like a good plan.

I expect Noah to get better, Shohei to continue to be an ace, Patrick to remain solid, and Lorenzen to regress a bit. Either way that is a nasty 1-4 as long as they remain healthy.

Oh, Yeah Yeah!

Diaz tonight likely becomes the 8th starter for the Angels this year. Canning will likely be the 9th in June.

I thought it was Barria

[Jason]

It’s about time we get to see the starting rotation pitch well. Those guys have been great

MLB.com says this guy is.  I hear he's good.

[Angelsjunky]

Does that make Reid Detmers the Ponyboy?

We got Stroman!

[Hubs]

If it was a guy on the 26, they'd have announced it by now.

Barria or Rosenberg may start in sort of a BP game, as neither probably go more than 3/4 innings, but they have played 14 games straight, and have 6 more before a day off, but even after that day off, they need 7 starters in 6 days.

They're calling someone up.

The lefty Diaz has a locker. Looks like I was correct. 

Honestly, when he didn't start for Salt Lake last night, and Valdez who was supposed to start tonight for them did, then you kind of knew this was the move.

He's 25, did 5 seasons in the Red Sox system with decent results, came to us in a minor league free agent signing in 2021. 

Diaz did ok in 2021, starting in AA, with 13 games and a 3.98 ERA, then a 4.11 ERA in 3 starts for SLC. Then he pitched in three games for the Angels in the seasons last two weeks. He threw 50 pitches in parts of two innings 9-17-21 against Oakland, lasting 1.2 innings.... and then a 7 inning gem in relief against Seattle on 9-25 after they used an opener (Barria). Then he threw 89 pitches on 10-2, also against the Mariners, giving up 3 runs in 4.1 innings. Decent start to his major league career.

In 4 starts for the Bees this year, he has a sparkling 1.96 ERA in 23 innings. 12 hits, 10 walks for a 0.957 WHIP.

Lets see how he does.
