Lima time!

The Tigers also had to make a decision Chafin today or risk losing him to another team.

He signed with the Nationals.

Zac Reininger would have blown that list away

Just as an aside, I checked that high school Jack Flaherty and Bryce Rainer both went to, Harvard Westlake in LA, and the tuition is $52,000 a year. Wow.

As bad as it seems Riley has been at the plate for the majority of the season here he sits with a respectable 115 OPS+, still below expectations but considering he's been slumping most of the season that is pretty damn good.

I really hate these West Coast games. In the eastern time zone games begin for me in the mountain zone anywhere from 4:40 PM to 5:10 PM. And for all of you in the eastern zone, these games are painfully late. I’m not an 11 year-old listening impishly on a transistor radio late at night and getting one over on my parents. Late starts are annoying.

Well, you are listening like an 11 year old, but your falling asleep in the 3rd inning like a post 60-year old.

Ha. It’s not incurably late. It’s just that what I’m used to is not happening. It makes sense for these games to begin seven thirtyish in Los Angeles.  It takes a long time to drive to these games. One of my daughters lives in West Hollywood and she sometimes works late just to wait for traffic to die down so she spends 30 or 40 minutes less driving home.

The month of April can kiss my ass. The curse is broken.

Mike Trout has the most PA on the team with 121 and he’s not starting tonight. I heard that he had kind of a knee injury last night.

[IdahoBert]

The most recent reports say Trout was planning on playing tonight, but he’s not in the lineup. The Angels are in the midst of a five game skid right now.

Angels stadium is the most nondescript park in MLB. The spectacular view is it's only unique feature, and it has nothing to do with the park itself. Other than that, it looks like someone set out to build a stadium based on something from a non-licensed video game.

Interesting never been there. My daughter‘s been to both ball parks and likes Dodger Stadium more but both ball parks are pretty old compared to modern standards.

Dodger stadium is awesome because it just feels like classic baseball. While it's been updated, it looks largely the same as it did 40 years ago, so you can't help but feel the history in it's surroundings. 

I only went to the Big A once, when my nephew was in town back in 2016 or 2017. Tigers lost a snooze-fest, 4-1 or something like that.

That view of the mountains is pretty sweet when the sun is going down and the sky gets all sherbety. At least it was the game I was there.
