You might be right. I think Shohei was sandbagging everybody both throwing and hitting this spring. He's in shape and has stamina. And he has an "on" switch.

It's crazy, that even without Kinsler in the lineup (due back tomorrow per Fletcher), the lineup looks GREAT. Much better than 2017.

Wow Angels handicapping themselves by using a pitcher as a DH smh. Sosh always did prefer NL style ball but this is going too far
