This is what the logjammed glut on the left side of the diamond looks like tonight against the WS champ Dodgers.
We were so naive.

Failed to mention for anybody who’s living under a rock, Correa out from tonight‘s game due to an ankle injury suffered during batting practice. No word on severity.
How do you injure your ankle in BP?
Detroit is getting the full-blown Bad Framber experience tonight. I imagine they’re checking their receipt to see what the terms are for returns.
Framber allowed back to back long HRs to make it 10-2 , then immediately hit Story with the next pitch. Clearly intentional. Benches cleared.
Really stepping up to bear the load with Skubal out.
Ohtani casually mows the Astros down on 10 pitches.
No score after one.
Walker!!
Ohtani’s 11th pitch left the yard
Zach Cole is hitting sixth in this lineup. Just…let that sink in.
Ohtani again throws 10 pitches with a couple of strikeouts, but one went over the train tracks.
End of two…1-0 Astros
Cam with a blue star to end the third!
Middle of three…1-0 Astros
That’s the first HR off Ohtani this year
There’s the second!
And Shewmake makes it two!
End of three…2-0 Astros
Shewmake has three hits this year. Two of them are home runs. That’s as many as Yainer Diaz. More than Jake Meyer’s and Jeremy Peña combined.
2-out walk to Muncy
Seeing eye single puts Dodgers on the corners.
Now another walk loads the bases.
Ground ball strands the bases loaded
Middle of four…2-0 Astros
Tonight’s rally cocktail is a concoction of my own making: Manhattan with hazelnut bitters and chile oil soaked cherry
Walker watches as strike two and three go by.
