I mean the other top AL pitchers have come back to earth.

I hate to bring this up but it was a little too noticeable. Soto after every round was surrounded by his Nationals teammates giving him high fives and encouragement. Ohtani was conspicuously alone. That is not a good look by the Angels who are present for the All Star game. This franchise really needs a reboot.

Walsh brought up his phone so Mike Trout could give him words of encouragement in the middle of the contest!

That's because the Angels are a great organization.

[Taylor]

Just caught up on the recording. I'm bummed that our boy was bounced in the first round, but the way he battled against Soto was incredible to watch.

Longest hangover ever.

“The organization needs a reboot” because of something that happened during home run derby is one of the stupidest fucking takes I’ve read on here.

But we've learned from this thread that supporting one's teammates at the All-Star Game is super important, and since we want the world to know what a quality, upstanding organization this is, I firmly believe this moment will show fans and non-fans alike that the Los Angeles Angels are a top-notch franchise populated with players who exhibit camaraderie and bonhomie.

So there.

The inability to chill out is a requirement for membership here.

2019 had 6.2M viewers, 2018 was 5.9M, and 2017 was 8.35M, just for some added context for last night's ratings.

That derby was hard to watch. Since that many people kept the TV on shows how excited most baseball fans are to watch Ohtani.
