He’s going to sign with the Nippon-Ham Fighters first chance he gets.

Just your kind of example. He's banned from baseball.

Well it’s kinda funny that they are railing on Ohtani for staying in the box when most of the time he leaves the box before the pitch arrives.

God who gives a shit.  We’ve all watched this guy run hard as hell a million times.  The season is over.  It was obviously a nothing play.

In a post-apocalyptic scenario, Angel fans would complain about the color of the uranium ash.

So he didn't run out a foul ball?

Good timing on this “story”

Not a good look for Shohei, but he's never done anything like this before, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

That's not true, he did the exact same thing last week on a passed ball that he would have been safe on but he lightly jogged.

Yesterday's question was why didn't Ohtani run full speed on a foul fly?

Today's answer, apparently, is he's getting KNEE SURGERY!!!

Hope he doesn't run like Plantar Albert next season.

Ohtani gets criticized for not running out a FOUL BALL

Pujols jogs down the line on his GIDP ball in the first inning like he's playing in a picnic softball game, and carrying a plate of fried chicken.

 

Again, one ball was out of play.

The other was definitely in play.

No player is above the law  ... 

ATLANTA -- Braves manager Brian Snitker understood the potential immediate ramifications of pulling Ronald Acuña Jr.Ronald Acuña Jr. from a game on an afternoon when he was already using a short bench and attempting to overcome an early deficit against the mighty Dodgers.

people are complaining about Ohtani not running out a FOUL BALL.

 

[Stradling]

One persons foul ball is another persons attendance.  

[yk9001]

Pujols 'runs' down the line on a dp ball like Kevin James after he just devoured the entire Taco Bell menu.

But that's okay.

Because Ohtani didn't run out a FOUL BALL

Shhhh, he's doing his thing.

So if you’re good you get to not hustle but if you’re not you have to hustle. 

 

I’m also using a very loose definition of good too. 

[m0nkey]

Shohei Ohtani has a .883 OPS as an Angel.

 

Albert Pujols has a .767 OPS as an Angel
