Dear Shohei,

Don't try to steal second and slide head (hands) first.

Thanks,

Angels fans

Don't slide at all.

I never realized Leftystein was a Polish name. 

He was actually Lithuanian, but the fellas called him the polack because he didnt know how to use a typewriter, and this was back when racism was still rampant among europeans.

Guido "the wop" boyardee was just happy it took a lot of the pressure off of him.

Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown had a first name and a nickname you don't see these days.

Jim Jones? Talk about the weakest old timey baseball name in history

"Three Finger Brown" sounds like something you'd find on Urban Dictionary.

[ScottT]

That, too.

Sounds like an 1800's Mormon gunslinger.

Let's get him a helmet that fits.

Base hit Ohtani to lead off.

I love seeing Ohtani use all fields.  He is going to kill it if he can do that all year

If Shohei hits for the cycle in a game he pitches, I will Three Finger Brown myself.

We should have got Blake Snell. Trade Marsh and Adell if you had to honestly.

[Lou]

Experiment Over

[bloodbrother]

Not sure what the big deal is. Snell is pitching and hitting today too

[AngelsLakersFan]

He needs to find some movement on his breaking pitches

[failos]

Season over

[Chuck]

Ohtani > Tatis! 

1-1, K'd Tatis.

Curve has looked good this spring, but that's probably his 4th best offering. Slider hasn't been there thus far this spring

[Lou]

ROC play works for SD. 

[bloodbrother]

FB sitting 95 and has touched 99 in that 1st inning

Looks like he found the curve and split during the inning.

Wonder if he threw a screwball?
