Gameday Thread: Angels @ Tigers (8/18/21): Ohtani on the mound & leading off, Gosselin in for Walsh

[Jason]

Just got done with training at work and checked the box score and Ohtani’s line

First the dugout phone fails. Then the radio fails. And finally Jose's line to Stassi fails. Hmmmm. Coincidence?

[Angelsjunky]

Barely made it to page 3. I think our collective interest is waning. But great game for Ohtani. He's now at 7.2 fWAR, combined.

Batting fWAR: 4.6 (5th)

Pitching fWAR: 2.6 (26th)

Everyone ahead of him in pitching fWAR has more innings pitched. 

wRC+: 167 (2nd)

ERA: 2.79 (12th)

FIP: 3.20 (12th)

HR: 40 (1st)

RBI: 87 (4th)

Runs: 80 (8th)

As I’ve said before @Chuckster70, we are witnessing a once in a lifetime player.  Even if Ohtani doesn’t come close to these numbers in his career, I don’t give a shit.  He’s been a blast to watch this year, both in person and on TV.

That Ohtani guy, he’s…

Back to .500 for the umpteenth time.

If I was a ballplayer this would be my number and it would be printed as 1?!.

Thanks for proving a point I made in a different thread.

It would only be "proving your point" if Jason was saying shit about Jack Morris, which he didn't. 

Nice try, though.

What a game to miss but I had anti-baseball guests for dinner.  That might explain only three pages since I’m good for a least half a page if I’m watching.  Fuck it, next time I’ll say I’ll be upstairs (near my bunk) and Ohtani is pitching.  Please disregard any strange noises.

No, my point is top many people post things that can easily be seen as offensive.  Jason's post was one of them.

Meanwhile we have poster shocked and disgusted over Morris.
