Shohei da way!!! Double. Again.

[PattyD22]

Again.  Hey American League....Shohei Ohtani can hit the ball to left field.

keep shifting on him.  It’s OK

[Chuck]

Remember when Ohtani was a bad base runner?

GameDay feed says "injured leg." Gubie talking about knees.

[beatlesrule]

Another injury....damn. Eppler really needs to trade guys like Cam and Kole etc. If Arte allows him of course. They are winning this game though so just need 4 more outs.

Doubled in his first AB.  No plays defensively I believe

I don’t think a single ball was hit to him.

Not really excited to see Kole back in the leadoff slot. 

Also, too bad Ward didnt get the call, but I guess it makes sense since he only knows LF right now.

I don't think he even likes hitting leadoff.  Should just keep Fletch there. It will be cool to see Thaiss @ 3rd.  

 

I agree

[PattyD22]

This could be the single worst umpiring we’ve seen all year.  It’s simply brutal

for both teams

He and Parker are hanging in the dogout.  After Thaiss got his first hit , Trout gave Thaiss a hug in the dugout which I thought was so cool.  

[bloodbrother]

What an awful night for HP ump Marty Foster.

[Stradling]

How bout we pitch the ball you’re up 4 runs. 

[OregonLAA]

Lol Robles

[the dude abides]

Uno mas

[the dude abides]

LTMFU!!

 

[PattyD22]

great effort by the pitching staff tonight.  Barria pitched well and the bullpen threw 4 scoreless with 8 strikeouts.  Impressive stuff.

congrats to Thaiss for his first big league hit also
