I know no one wants to hear this, but Ohtani not returning to the mound and just being our full time DH next year isn't the worst thing in the world.

140 OPS+ now

If he hadn't shown stuff as good as any pitcher in the majors, I'd agree with you. But this is a guy who could become a top 10 hitter and top 5 pitcher. That is just insane.

But yeah...if he let pitching go, he'd probably become one of the best first basemen in the majors.

it's a miracle we're even close to .500 when half our pitching even the most die hard fan would have never heard of before this year

About to lose our fifth in a row.

Some bad blood brewing now between these teams.

Osuna should have been ejected, what a scummy player

Yes he’s a scummy person, no he shouldn’t be ejected.

I hope Oakland passes them and the Yankees destroy Houston in the WC game.

So you think he hit Ohtani on accident?

No I think he hit him on the butt on purpose, exactly what you’re supposed to do.  

[Vlad27Trout27]

Wow!! What an A-hole move.

[IheartLA]

why wouldn't they hit Trout? 

Pujols has the most worthless at bats..

And deliberately hitting a player isn't an ejection for you? I guess it is for me

No, he hit him on the ass, that’s exactly how you handle that situation.

There is this new breed of fans that doesn’t understand the way baseball has been played for a hundred years

Good to see that Scioscia is alive.

Mcguire just earned some respect, tired of this team being pushed around.

No, the intetional is only if you believe Altuve was hit intetionally. The umpire is an asshole not tossing him and I will not miss Scioscia's fat worthless ass for not going out there and ripping the umpire up one side and down the other.

If he was doing what he was supposed to, throwing at him intentionally which is what you’re suggesting, then yes he should’ve been ejected.

I question throwing at Ohtani in the first place. They thought Anderson intentionally threw at Altuve I take it? Bullshit.

Exactly.
