I just turned it off, it was giving me a headache. I'll try and catch Ohtani later but this show is a mess. 

Yeah I'm remembering why I don't watch this.

I think it was better in the BACK BACK BACK BACK days.

Lol Perez with the 2nd most HR in the 1st round and is eliminated

[Tank]

Perez had almost no chance of beating Alonso’s first round record of 34. So he calmly went out blasted 27.

Shohei coming up.

[Blarg]

I'm going to guess that being there is much more fun than this clusterfrack of bad camera work and directing. 

They could easily have use a relatively fixed camera position with ball tacking software so you could see ball flight, launch angle, distance all at once instead of zooming camera after zooming camera that tracks nothing. 

Fire the whole lot of them.

Shohei time let’s do this

[Jay]

Is Ohtani going to have enough left in the tank to be the starting pitcher tomorrow?

[failos]

Hopefully Shohei has anime music

I was just wondering about that. 
 

They’ve announced that he’ll be allowed to remain in the game as DH after he pitches, and I’m glad for that.

Ohtani was wondering the same thing during his press time earlier. He said he'd do his best.

[Tank]

Soto bats left and his pitcher is a lefty, something we haven’t seen much, if ever.

I’m sorry to hear that. I always thought you’d be an anime fan

Racist

ESPN can't even get the uniform colors right. The Angels and Nationals do not wear orange.

Let's go Shohei

Who thought racism could taste so delicious and bring that much pleasure to my tastebuds?
