Per Jeff Fletcher, apparently Ohtani felt something in his back in the first inning after a pitch. Would explain his dip in velocity and wacky command. One would guess it's not something serious given that he stayed in the game, but let's hope it clears up soon.

He broke his back. His back is broken.

Ohtani investors right now:

Well, I'd rather be Ohtani with a tight back rather than Hyun Jin Ryu with a tight elbow. I hope he takes a couple days off tbh. It will pay off later.

Oh, I also found it interesting (although it was lost in ippei's translation) that he felt he had to be crafty and trick batters this outing rather than go after them. Tricked 10 guys.

So from your perspective, how accurate or factual or near is Ippei;s translation on most days? Does he do a good job? As a clearly English only speaker, I literally have no idea of what Sho is saying, but I have seen this idea of "missing parts" of the translation before.

Definitely didn't have his normal command yesterday and got lit up by the Jays but still able to get 10K in 6IP, not too shabby. Offense wasn't much help, didn't get any clutch hits when needed.
Let's just hope his back stiffness is minor

It's in the ballpark. Definitely paraphrases and is nonchalant about improvising. Ohtani's Japanese is very polite and accountable. That doesn't always come across through Ippei. Get the feeling that they are friends and fine with 80/20 accuracy. With the amount of time Ippei spends with Ohtani as a life-assistant and social coach, I guess this can't be avoided.

Best example is the off-season comment about Ohtani wanting to win. He basically said any competitor that plays at this level has the desire to win.. and Ippei translated it to something lazy that blew up the media.

100%

A jerk seller cancelled my bobblehead order due to prices going up so I had to go to the ballpark and pick some up. Got the goods and went home to watch it on the couch. Not the same without him in there.

I hate people who cancel just to make a couple dollars extra. It’s ridiculous. I wanted to go but it was just too expensive. Was over $120 at the top level. I’ve never seen Angels tickets at that price for anything. I’m glad you were able to get yours though.
