one start makes him an ace for the next 6 years? more power to the dude though, i hope so.

23 year old Spencer Strider has a higher fWAR than Ohtani (pitching only obviously) in 13.1 fewer IP.  I'd say things are looking pretty promising

When is the last time the Angels developed an ace pitcher?

The Yankees just had their worst month since 1991 at 10-18. They began August 11.5 games ahead in the East. They now lead TB by 6 games entering this weekend's series against the Rays. 

5 games

Good point. They developed him from a high school hitter to a superstar in a matter of weeks.

He had a 2.87 ERA before last night, a WHIP of just over 1.00, and was K'ing 13.3/9IP.  It's not like last night was a fluke.

The hilarious part is his ERA is selling him short.  His FIP is 1.84 and at 117 innings pitched he's already thrown twice as many innings at it usually takes Angel fans to declare a prospect a bust.

Yankees now lead TB by 4 games.

Yankees are making their headlines look like the angels with Ohtani

[m0nkey]

Pujols hits #695 to break a 0-0 tie in the 8th.  

 

I'll be the first to say I've actually enjoyed the Pujols watch as of late.  Pretty fun

I'm fine letting someone else pay him $10M next year.
