Taking to Twitter, a baseball fan said the Anaheim (now Angels) have magic flowing. They are a different team this season. Another fan termed Detmers’ performance as ‘unreal’.
Anaheim has magic flowing. I thought they wouldn't live up to their roster like every year. Turns out we could be seeing something different.
