Vasgersian just referred to Ohtani as a "dual sport star"...

I'm waiting patiently for @Jason to weigh in on how Ohtani will do tonight. 

I just tuned in. He looks way better on the mound than last outing

He is a dual star of the sport of baseball.

I audibly yelled “fiiillllttthhh” when he threw that splitter.

[ScottT]

This is going well.

Holy shit

[Jason]

It’s weird with the small crowd as it seems like the microphones picks up a lot of other sounds.

Just to understand, do we still want him to give up pitching now?

Lol @ that pitch sequence to Robert.

100 mph up and in

100 mph at the knees

Filthy splitter

All the talks about how we need to get an ace this offseason (and previous ones) .. all we probably needed was Ohtani to get healthy and pitch to his potential.  We are seeing it on display today.

I assumed he meant ping-pong.

Is he good at chess or something?

We need to turn the "that's racist" kid into a reaction

At the risk of being Johnny Raincloud, I'm at best cautiously optimistic about tonight, and that's only because I know Ohtani has the talent to dominate. My expectations are low, though. It just seems like something always goes wrong with him on the mound. I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for disappointment. 

Gee, I love being wrong.

La Russa looks friggin insane with that hair and that puffed out mask.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Im not sure why so many wanted Lagares to make the team...

[Duren, Duren]

Enough Larusa worship.

[bloodbrother]

Cease seems to have settled in.

He looked really good this spring.  It's only 2 ABs today.  He's also really solid defensively, which is a plus.

[Taylor]

Ump squeezing Cease.

I'm not complaining.

Don't worry. We just need Ohtani to give up a 3 run bomb then the offense will score a run or 2.
