Did both players tell you themselves? I doubt Eppler made much of an impact at all, it's convenient to this he has though.

Dude it’s been widely reported that Eppler made a significant impact on Ohtani.  He knew him going back to when MLB people first started scouting him.  And Trout himself was very plain about the importance of his relationship with Eppler.

Because everyone is bashing La Stella and clamoring for the guy playing worse.

Did Trout and Ohtani scream "Eppler is the only reason I'm here!" from the roof tops?

Yes

[UndertheHalo]

[JAHV76]

What happened to Simba?

[Angelsfan1984]

I blame @Stradling no more opening days for you 

[Lou]

People still rent movies? It's 2019.

It's Hammer Time!

Last season it was the pitchers.

This time around it appears to be the better hitters.

 

[fan_since79]

I think we'll be bringing some guys up before too long.

I don't think anyone wished for Simmons to get hurt.  

and I think the wish is for La Stella not to be on this team.
