O'neil needs to shut up

I hope the trainers help Shohei with his lower back tonight.

You can put a halo over this one!

[Revad]

Good win!  Ohtani-San is incredible.

[Duren, Duren]

Not quite a surgical finish from the pen  but good enough. One of the best pitched games in a while. Ohtani clearly the elite ace at his pitching peak. With solid pitching you don't need a ton of hitting. Again, the big guys didn't have to carry the team at the plate.

[failos]

That was a great game. Bullpen did better then I had thought.

[daygloman]

Light up the Halo!

Eat yer Wheaties boys, the next three are gonna be TOUGH!

Season series as well.  4-3 and we've had their number all time and since 2016 with a 388-374 record.

Rengifo has settled nicely into a groove at the plate and in the field.  Keep him out there every game.

Wade is handling 3B well.   Offense is of course an issue.

Ohtani has been unhittable since the 3 innings struggle in NY.   That plus the hitting = no doubter for AL POTM?

The pitch count didn’t indicate it, but Tepera is morphing back into pre-2022 Tepera over the past 5 appearances.

Let this sink in.

Since the disaster start in NY a year ago, Ohtani has pitched 142.1 innings (24 starts) and has 174 Ks and 25 BBs.

Almost 7/1 Ks/BBs ratio

Pedroesque

Anndd, almost 6 innings per start over the past year

Gonna be hard to beat Alvarez for Player of the Month. He had an OPS of 1.345. That's higher than even Trout has ever had in a full month.

[Torridd]

Shohei looks like he may have hurt himself on that last at-bat, but I haven't read anything about it. I guess no news is good news?

What's the ERA in those 142.1 innings since that terrible start in New York?

2.77 ERA and 0.99 WHIP

.973 June OPS before last night plus a ridiculous stretch of 26.2 innings (1 run, sub 0.80 WHIP)

Question though, can Player of the Month be a pitcher?   Or are only offense stats taken into consideration?

Yep! it has happened many times!
