I think his defense is as good as Velasquez. But he can hit, and that’s something squid was terrible at. 

Even Velasquez is a slightly better at defense, Soto if he is what appears to be, he is the winner.

What he is doing now is unsustainable, but I guess the key question is - could he be, say, a 750-800 OPS SS, while providing some solid defense?  That would make him a legit starting SS.  

Aim lower.  The AL average OPS this year is .702.   If Soto was a 95 OPS hitter with his defense you'd call that a massive win.  Im not shitting on the kid, just a believer that even league average offense with plus defense is a tremendous outcome for ANY shortstop.

[CaliAngel]

Holy crap has this ump expanded the strike zone for Ohtani or what. 

Let's GOOOOOOO!

[failos]

Soto you fucker

[AngelsFaninGA]

Capel can eat shit. Random hot hitting rookie scrub that'll be out of the league this time next year

[Blarg]

There was probably no chance for Soto to make that play. 

[daygloman]

Bummer!

[Angel Oracle]

WTFH is a Connor Capel???

Like I said before if I knew I could hit under .200 and be a pro ballplayer maybe I would have tried harder, but I thought I'd have to be in the upper .200- lower .300 range and wasn't sure I could do that. 

Baseball life is tough, 7-8 months away from family and friends...wasn't worth it for me. 

But I'd hit better than anyone on this board, that's for sure. That's why nobody will challenge me. 

They'd rather smartoff like keyboard warriors.

To be fair, this is his lawn mower

 

[Blarg]

Could somebody please stuff a sock in O'Neals mouth, please? It's just embarrassing that this team has him as their play by play announcer.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Ohtani needs 1 more inning to qualify.

Dude looked spent. So glad he ended the 8th. 

Bummed he didn't get the no hitter, feel like that would have been another feather in his cap for the MVP. 

[Angel Oracle]

Who’s the first base ump?

You can’t tell a freaking swing???

[Blarg]

Loup is going to fuck this up. 

[Angel Oracle]

F U Poup!!!

Throw a damn strike!!!

I hope someone is warming up. 

[CaliAngel]

Just like Duffy, why is Loup still getting playing time?

These type of innings are consistently on par with his past performances.
