We should just take Lorenzen with us when we fly to Toronto. 

Can we leave Velasquez?

Lorenzen for Anderson straight up, with the Halos paying a lot of Anderson’s remaining $30 million?

Where would he fit in? I'm wondering what rotation will be going forward.

Tigers no longer on the fence. They are sellers

He actually had put up a .660 OPS and 9 for 10 SBs over 60+ PAs before today, along with great defense.

I get that. But he needs a timeout after that at bat. Leave him in Detroit and let him know there are consequences.

Great day, awesome wins!

How's Ohtani?

No. Keep both.

I’d start him over Canning and Silseth. I’d move Silseth to a one inning relief role for the remainder of the season. 

[Angel Oracle]

Halos pitching generated 5 double plays  in the DH.

Canning has been pitching well.

Of course, Anderson has also pitched well over the past month or so.

Good dilemma to have 

I like having Silseth in the pen in a hybrid role, a little late innings, some middle innings, and a few 2 innings appearances.

No mention of the cramps?

No, NHK has not reported it yet.

However, even in Japan, online news soon quoted the announcement of his "cramping" by the Angels PR.

Nevin kept Ohtani in as DH rather than rest him after pitching a complete game. That was irresponsible and Ohtani left the field injured.

Or just igive us Lorenzen for nothing in order to help MLB baseball.  Since according to the east coast media, unless Ohtani gets into the playoffs then the game is doomed.   Every team should give the Angels 1 starter to preserve the game.
