thoughts for the day

[MPohleece]

Try Simmons at lead off, followed by Trout, or vice versa. Point is, they need to be back-to-back for any offensive continuity.

 

When is Shoe coming back? Barria or Heaney would be nice additions to the bullpen.

 

Ohtani seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Interpreting on live TV ain't easy, it's easy to critique after the fact, I know, but that guy's interpreting today

didn't fully cover some good things Shohei said. First, he didn't say "I got the win." It was more, he wanted to give his all for a team win

given the recent struggles. And the interpreter did mention Calhoun, but what Shohei said was, watching Calhoun running full speed, crashing into the wall,

playing hard gave him even more fortitude to keep pushing on in the game. So he was really descriptive and appreciative about Calhoun's effort, giving props to his struggling teammate.

 

Wish halos could keep causing more havoc on the base pads. More runs than hits. Great weird win today.

You want to move Barria to the bullpen. He is arguably our best pitcher right now.

Shohei's interpreter is slacking, dude you have the best gig ever, at least

Shohei's interpreter is slacking.  C'mon dude you have the best gig in the translating business and all of baseball as a common folk, don't screw it up!  Noticed that the interview asked a long question and his interpreter bounces 3 words over to Shohei, wtf?

Is it possible Ohtani understands English and understood what the interviewer was asking? and maybe his interpreter was saying "Did you understand?"

American’s are long winded and full of bull shit.  In Japan everything is more compact, and condensed?

btw, the same thing happens with Spanish translations as well. 

Also, Shoemaker was just transferred to the 60-day DL.

I was wondering why Ohtani said (through the interpreter), "Buy a Toyota!"
