Not really sure why he is back out in the 8th. Unless they really just want to see what he has in the later innings early in the year.

speedyjg13 · 05-20-2018, 05:57 PM

Now that Ohtani is out... the real game begins with the Angels bullpen coming out...

Can’t wait!

The Angels should have never gotten rid of Trevor Gott. They need some serious bullpen help if they are going to be contenders this year

Shohei can add one more term to his early season accolades: stopper.
Big win to stop the losing streak.

Here is what Ohtani and his interpreter really said to Alex Curry during the post game Game interview.

Alex Currry: “what a game, congratulations - what did it mean to help this team get back on track...”

Interpreter to Shohei in Japanese: “I couldn’t hear what she said, she said something about track... but I was looking at her rack”

Shohei to Interpreter in Japanese “Yes amazing rack”

Interpreter to Curry: “Happy to end losing streak and able to pitch into 8th inning and get the Win, it was a really good game”

Funny stuff seabass.

Ohtani is the best player in baseball in his rookie year and there is almost no hype on here because people are haters and won’t admit it.

Trevor Gott has a 7.71 ERA in parts of 3 seasons with the Nats...not quite sure he is the answer. If our starting pitching continues to work deeper into games, our bullpen will be fine. They were simply relied upon way too much early in the year. Plus since Griffin Canning is on an innings limit this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him break into the pen this Summer.

He is doing something none of us have ever seen and he is doing great at both.

I thought he'd cool off in one by now... gotta think he is top 3 for MVP if he keeps this up.

Lol, so true. Ohtani is the most amazing baseball player we have ever witnessed and most people here would rather talk about 20 year olds batting 250 or 20 year olds called up and striking out.

That's ok, I'm quietly loading up on SHO-TIME cards and wax. We're gonna see a massive explosion very soon

I sold my three ohtanis because I felt like his stuff will be mass produced with new products coming, but for what he is doing, 1330 for a chrome auto, is CHEAP.

By the way, I love prospecting, but this guy is on another planet

What exactly is a "cheap" Ohtani RC?

jubei777 · 05-21-2018, 09:53 AM

It would be exciting but after what happened to Judge post-HR derby, I don't want Ohtani to face that slump
