Okay, let's start with the big picture.
The Angels are 61-98, fifth in the division.
On paper, this looks like a mismatch.
But last night? Last night looked like anything but.
right? And it wasn't just the score.
It was the efficiency.
Reed Detmers gave up five runs, sure, but he went six innings.
He kept the Mariners lineup off balance enough to stay in the game until the late innings took over.
But here is the question for tonight.
Who starts for Seattle? We have Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryce Miller, Brian Wu, and Cade Anderson on the roster.
With the season winding down, does management try to save someone for a potential playoff push? Or do they go with a guy who can eat innings?
If they're not in the playoff hunt, which they aren't right now, you have to look at workload.
If he can go deep into this game, it gives the bullpen a chance.
But if they burn him out, they risk his availability for any end-of-season evaluation games.
He's young, he's got stuff, and if he can limit the damage early, maybe the offense wakes up.
What do you think, Kevin? Do you trust the veterans or the kids?
You don't throw a rookie into a high leverage situation against an Angels team that is swinging for the fences.
They need stability.
Fair point.
Stability is key when you are facing a team that just scored seven runs.
Let's talk about the opposing pitcher.
