    Let's Talk About This Shoemaker Kid Making His Debut Friday 9/20/13 For L.A. Angels

    He's a local boy here in Detroit in which he's finally getting his major league start. Seems to be a down to earth kid.



    I'm going to try and get more information as it becomes available. Even though I really like this kid... I think he tanks on Friday. The only thing that can save him is the Angels offense.

    Absolutely terrible minor league splits against lefthanded hitters. If Seattle loads 7 or 8 lefthanded hitters in the lineup tonight as they have been of late, it may be a learning curve night for the kid.

    Wish him well though, hometown kid.

    Watch him pitch a 6 hit shutout

    Another angle players never batted against him

    Sometimes minor league stats mean nothing

    The kid is so nervously excited it's unreal. Vegas has him as a very soft favorite. This girl I know... knows his wife... she's extremely excited for him and I think the vegas line is self explanatory. I think I'm taking Seattle tonight. I just think if it takes you until 27 years old to make your first major league start... you were missing something to begin with. Love the heart of this kid... but I think vegas knows what's going to happen.

    I enjoyed the write-up until the last line.

    Angels will be scary next season. They're going to have a Boston-like turnaround.

    Guy is amazing. People need to recognize that the angels have the best rotation and bull pen in mlb. Dipoto has done a solid job without a lot of fan fare.
