Gameday Thread: Indians @ Angels (05/19/2021): Ohtani pitching, hitting 2nd, Fletcher hitting 9th

[REDneck]

Thursday is my day off...how cool would it be to look forward to a DH and a full day of enjoyable baseball if we were playing well.

I think Ill just make a dentist apt now

I think the front office needs to start considering giving Othani rest. he's played in every single game, while pitching and hitting, its alot.

Yeah, because this place is sure to remain calm as soon as Ohtani isn't in the lineup.

I'd rather have him rest every now and then rather than lose him to an injury.

Same here, but we all saw the board's reaction when Trout and Walsh weren't in lineup.

I think we need to ship Rojas back to AAA. He's only here because of his bat. 

Yep, 4 for past 30 and now hitting .179

Is there seriously a debate on giving Ohtani a day of rest? Give him the day off tomorrow (both games) and move on. He said it himself his body felt heavy. An off day here or there is to be expected. 

[Angel Oracle]

Ohtani is already over halfway to his highest innings count since coming here.

The endurance needs to be gradually brought back up.

The other starters need to pick up the innings slack, if Joe would let them.

As for the hitting, the other hitters also need to pick up Ohtani.    
Fletcher and Upton, I’m staring especially at you!

Lol honestly no idea what Maddon and Rojas were crying about.  Get the bat off your shoulder dumb ass. 

Never, eeever take a third strike to end the game.

Lakers down by 13 at the half.

Thanks to 3-19 shooting from the two best players.

Thankfully, things changed in the second half (61-45 Lakers).

Karinchak is so good

Would be nice if the Halos could develop one of those closer types.

How long has it been?   Almost 20 years (K-Rod’s 2002 debut)?
