Also at 640 tonight, Eduardo pitches against Ohtani's Angels as LAA begins its DET-TOR-ATL (Ohtani-Gausman Friday night?) roadtrip.

Watching the pre game and I just noticed that McCann and Perez did the thumb thing Bautista and ADLEY usually do and then hugged. It’s contagious!

DET is playing well, not an easy trip at all.

[Chavez Ravine]

Santander is underrated.

Dang, OHearn looks like he just barely got under that.

[Malike]

Interested seeing Cowser in CF, he should get enough chances with Gibson on the mound.

I’m a big pitch count guy. Those last two AB were huge. Hopefully we keep taking competitive AB’s.

After Schwarber couldn't make a play that a league-average LFer would have last night, he's DH'ing.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice job Westy and Gibby. Now let’s show Walker we aren’t the same Os team he has dominated in the past.
