I wonder if she’s pregnant. 

She is. 

She's in her 11th trimester.

Ohtani is amazing. His home runs are generally crushed. 
 

nice W. But Please build on it. 

[Angels 1961]

Ohtani. 

He gives us those options...

Right @Stradling?

But Mayers has this!!!!

Yea I mean if you want to be another person with the extremely bad idea to use Ohtani out of the pen, go for it. 

[Angel Oracle]

Gosselin is a pleasant surprise.

[Angel Oracle]

Bullpen settled down nicely after Slegers soiled it.

4.2 innings, 3 baserunners, 0 runs after Slegers 

Time to option Slegers, hasn’t looked decent enough pretty much non-stop, WHIP of 2.00

Shohei with the SV...He deserves one to add to his already rare stats.

[Angels 1961]

When Strickland pitches Angels win. Strickland can put halos in the hunt

[rafibomb]

Call up James Hoyt for Sledgers.

Was listening to sox broadcast, even with their homeritis preferable to 3hrs of goober.  They were snickering about the Trout doink when the audio suddenly went silent as Ohtani blast sailed into RF.  Arigato Ohtanisan.  Winning streak underway!

he's looked awful at AAA.   Can't find the strike zone and when he does, it's gone a long way in the wrong direction.  

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe call up Quijada and send Slegers down?

[Puget Sound Angel]

Is this as good as it gets?

Winning one game per series?

2nd worst troll effort ever.

Can you tag me in the 1st please.

Season turning point or an just a temporary reprieve from the ongoing slump? 

With such a dramatic ending, you would have to think that this should create some sort of positive feeling and easing of pressure. I won't say momentum, because one game doesn't necessarily create a pattern. 

Trout still hasn't busted his slump but sometimes a bit of luck can get things going in the right direction.

Ohtani at the plate seems either feast or famine. But his power is coming at the right time. 

Such a fragile team, so out of sync. But a good week away from turning the corner. 

[Stradling]

Cishek has been bad this year and he got us 5 outs and no base runners.

I wonder how much DFA of Pujols affected Trout?

Play Shohei RF every game.  Bring him in to be the shutdown pitcher after the starter falters.  Back to RF.  Back to the mound to close the game. Badabing badaboom.

Even I would not suggest this. Ohtani has become an ace for halos. Should have signed Petit.

Remember when Rowen was an option?
