Detmers's slider is an incredible pitch. He's at like 99 on breaking stuff at Baseball Savant because of that pitch. His fastball does not grade out that well though, at least according to them.

RIght, I'm saying if Soriano is cheaper I'd be fine with getting him instead.

That was when they had the 2024 White Sox to beat up on. The entire Central was over .500 because of that. Sox went 10-42 against the Central.

If I could get Soriano for cheaper than Detmers I'd strongly consider it. He'd be a nice 3/4 to slot in. He's got more team control I think though.

I don't see how a team 7 under at the end of July has any real hope of competing. They put themselves in a huge hole and would have to have been Red Sox hot to really put themselves back into contention.

It was a joke. I'd be happy with Detmers, though I do have more concerns about him than some do here and I would hesitate to meet the Angels supposed current asking price.

Sounds like what happened with Crochet

Not sure I want a guy who gets hit so hard it sounds like the fake ESPN contact sound.

HUGE blown opportunity.

Good at bat by Braden. Cole going to be close to 70 pitches after this at bat (hopefully more).

Let's get those two in please.

Questionable checked swing call changed that at-bat for Colson.

I don't know what the premium would be for controllable pitching at the deadline vs the offseason. If they can get Detmers and not give up Bonemer or Carlson then sure. Are there any other rumors out there on controllable #1-#3 starters? Otherwise I think a solid rental or two pulling from the 11-30 range in their top prospects is fine, then see in the offseason what is available pitching wise (assuming there's even a season).

Yeah I wouldn't mind trying him in AAA for a minute and see if they can fix something. He's been around for long enough and had enough success though that any tweaks he could make would probably have happened already. He's either injured and trying to fight through it or he's just done.

Starter needs to go more than 3.1 innings.

Why in the f*** did they wave him

That was right down the middle.

A starter and a catcher and this team is in pretty good shape.

Hey a good appearance for Dominguez.

Bad hop there.

Minimum 15 runs to only feel slightly nervous

People were right about the ball flying today. Also I think Mune got his timing back.

Astros just got PEREZ'D

Royals held on

Casual 5 RBI game for Murakami
