This I like to hear

Thank you for comment on location, at the game

Another great game for the MVP

Coming back in after 98 pitches. He wants it bad.

He knows the bullpen will blow it.

Can someone explain the Angels to me?

Damn it Kelenic.

zbaseball21 · 09-26-2021, 05:07 PM

10 K's lets get him some runs so he can get 10 wins!

He deserves it, he looked so relieved when the umpire was checking his equipment.

Team is a dumpsterfire that never has anything to play for.

Right move imo. His pitch count was up there.

Yet they continue to let Ohtani work his ass off..

hammertime · 09-26-2021, 05:25 PM

Shame he couldn't get W #10 but another impressive outing...

Vdm2018 · 09-26-2021, 05:27 PM

Just another superstar wasting his prime years on the Angels.

NYRE2PECT · 09-26-2021, 05:42 PM

Amazing year of pitching for Shohei - a little bit more run support, two awful starts, it would be really interesting to see where his numbers were.

Guys a stud, three more days until I finally get to see him live and up close!

As soon as Ohtani didn't have a chance to win, I went into I hope they lose mode. As an Angels fan i want them to get as good of a draft pick as possible.

Maybe Ohtani pitches the final game of the season in Seattle. If not he still had an amazing season and 9 wins or 10 wins he's still the MVP.

MVPs playing on the LVT.

Its amazing how bad the Angels have been over the last decade, you can try to be bad and still do better.

KhalDrogo · 09-26-2021, 05:57 PM

Makes you want to cry that Ohtani and Trout elected to join/remain with this garbage franchise.

Yep Tatis Jr. on the Padres.
Juan Soto on the Nationals
Bryce Harper on the phillies
And Ohtani on the angels.

I will give the angels next year if Rendon and Trout are healthy, then if they still miss the playoffs they are a lost cause.

Pads and Phillies are borderline contenders (Pads should be in the playoffs) and Soto has a ring already. The Angels finish 20 GB of the division lead every year. Though living in OC with a giant pile of money probably beats living in 99.9% of the rest of the country.

Very impressive. This is the first outing of his I’ve seen in a while. I LOVE seeing his evolution as a pitcher this year. The stat displayed at the beginning of the game was awesome. 30+ walks in his first 60innings. 9 walks in his last 60 innings. He doesn’t get anywhere near enough credit for progressing the way he has on the mound in a relatively short time span while also performing as one of the better hitters in the league.

Also, I have read a number of posts from fans and trolls in a couple threads about Ohtani getting fatigued in the 2nd half. They claim that this fatigue serves as evidence that he can’t continue playing as a two way player in the years to come. After watching him on the mound today I have to ask... what fatigue?!?! I don’t know about you guys, but that was not a sore and tired pitcher I saw on the mound today. With the two highest pitch counts of his career coming in the last few weeks, I don’t think fatigue is having the impact people are claiming. Its effect would be more evident and appear earlier in his pitching performance than hitting. The velocity, control and movement on his pitches would all suffer. Seems to me that his 2nd half slump at the plate is just that... a slump. Or, he’s not as good of a hitter as his 1st half stats imply. I think it’s a combination of the two.

I see a correlation between a pitcher showing off his velocity and “stuff” at the expense of efficiency, and a hitter swinging for the fences at almost every pitch. As previously mentioned, he has made big strides this year in evolving from thrower to pitcher. Here’s hoping he can do the same at the plate and evolve from swinger to complete hitter. I like to think this guy is still capable of even more than he’s already shown us. I’m not gonna waste my breath trying to tell him he can’t do something.

Glass half full: at least that HR he gave up to Kelenic didn't cost him the W.
