Man how many singles can a guy hit without getting a single RBI?

He plays for the Angels so the answer is.... a lot.

We are about to witness a magical game if that split usage continues, guys.

zbaseball21 · 09-19-2021, 03:13 PM

Solid first inning for Ohtani ! Lets get him some runs to work with.

Trueblue · 09-19-2021, 03:34 PM

I think Shohei's tinkering experiment is over for the year. Throwing strikes with his FB/slider and setting up for the split to finish. Saving upper 90s for second, third time through. Quite the evolution compared to beginning of the year.

hammertime · 09-19-2021, 05:08 PM

The man can pitch. Too bad he's going to take another L today...

HunterConnorMom · 09-19-2021, 05:14 PM

MVP no doubt. If his team was better, his stats would have the potential to be more ridiculous. Love that he is still playing hard.

anusinha · 09-19-2021, 05:21 PM

One of these years he will be playing for a team that isnt total a$$ and you will really see him shine.

Trueblue · 09-19-2021, 05:26 PM

He's a warrior. Gutted out 8 innings of two run ball with 10Ks against a team that has everything to play for. Good final performance of the season if it was his last.

boxbuster7 · 09-19-2021, 05:28 PM

Strong start today! He always pitches well against the A's

Trueblue · 09-19-2021, 06:05 PM

Halos pick up Ohtani a bit, no L today.

zbaseball21 · 09-19-2021, 06:05 PM

At least no loss for Ohtani ! That's something.

BaseballKing · 09-19-2021, 11:52 PM

8 inninngs with 2 runs and 10 strike outs. That is very decent.

WalterAZ31 · 09-19-2021, 11:55 PM

am i the only one that found it hilarious that they claim Ohtani is gonna get shutdown (pitching), and then he ends up throwin 108 pitches in 8 innings today

Stockmarket has been crazy the last 12 months. It's one of the few places people can park their money these days.

I still see the hobby continuing to grow steadily in terms of participation numbers although prices might continue to soften over the next few years. I think the big investment money has left the building. The uncertainty surrounding Fanatics is not doing the market any favours, either.

I'm confident that the hype of 2020 is gone forever - not necessarily a bad thing.

investing the past year in the dow jones (september 21 2020-september 17 2021) would've made you 27.4%.

While that is good and more agressive stock choices can lead to higher returns, I find cards to perform better than that. Of course you need to know what you are doing, but buying ohtani in spring training and selling throughout the season would've made you 300-400% at least.

Truth, 542% in my case

If Ohtani gets one more start vs. Seattle on 9/26, he could get his 10th win, reach 150 K's (4 away) and get his ERA down to almost 3.00 (currently 3.28). This would be the last home game of the season, and Ohtani has been much more effective when pitching at home.

I would love to see that happen!

Was wondering why the rotation on the splitter looked different and then found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K-0vxT...ature=youtu.be

Amazing how he was able to experiment and change this pitch. Can’t wait until his last start and even next year!

Trueblue · 09-21-2021, 11:26 PM

#45. Let's go on a run

HOFAutoRookies · 09-21-2021, 11:26 PM

Yessssss!!

Rage · 09-21-2021, 11:27 PM

Called it, #45!!!
Was looking good all night in the box

hammertime · 09-21-2021, 11:51 PM

And they strand him in the in deck circle...ugh. Anyway he's definitely starting to turn things around at the plate.
