Had to miss the last few innings at work. Congrats to Sandoval. He's one of the young guys who gives hope. Real excited for him.

Feeling better all the time about next year's rotation.

I was in and out on errands during the some of the game. Did Gubi and Matt ever appear in the same booth, or was Gubi in Santa Monica and Matt in Detroit. The Gubi comment I took notice of sounded like he was on a phone.

They were in the same booth. I did find it kinda funny how uncomfortable Gubi reacted to Matt V jokingly impersonating Phil Nevin (voice and all).

It's kind of funny that the only inning I saw was Walsh hitting the solo shot. Hours later I see that was the winning run.

This game came after Sandoval critiqued his own pitching pretty harshly. 

[Swordsman78]

Scoccia and Maddon most likely pull Sandoval in the 7th or 8th only to see the Arson squad do their thing.  Loving how the pitchers now get to battle through the bad times, and finish games off old school.

No way. He threw 97 pitches

[St1ck]

This has to be one of the worst offensive lineups I've ever seen. The only dude with a slugging % over 400 is a guy that only has 24 abs.

When were those bad times? Sandoval dominated the Tigers the entire game. Of the 4 hitters to reach first base,  three ended up involved in double plays. None made it to second base.  

[Duren, Duren]

It wasn't a heavyweight battle of the titans, but better to win than lose. 

A real boost for Sandoval's confidence, going nine. Strange though because he didn't have to work out of any jams. His trouble has usually come with men on base. Good thing Detroit hitters are worse than the Angels.

Credit to the infield too for clean double plays.

Watching the Detroit broadcast was strange. I don't know if he has a medical condition, but Kirk Gibson sounds really rough.

He was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015.  I just discovered this about a week ago while surfing old Vin Scully broadcast calls.
