"Shohei was pretty pretty good"

Thanks for that analysis

How far do you let him go?  Does he start the eighth?

With a 2 run lead? Yes. If they can pad this lead then I don’t think so. The pen can’t be trusted right now with a thin lead

O hoppe for marsh was a steal props to Perry, realized marsh’s true value was never gonna be realized here in LF so he turned it into a win win trade

Maybe Ohtani refuses to come out to keep the blowpen from bringing their gasoline cans, and matches, to the mound.

Another great start for Ohtani. 92 pitches through 7 is pretty good. Could have been much better without all those walks.

The word I used was “great”

I would have him start the eighth, doesn’t sound like he’s going to.

I don't know how long this will go on, but when was the last time a catcher was leading the Angels in homers?

I don’t like bringing in a reliever here either. If they had some solid arms in the pen then I’d be ok with it

Probably when one hit the first HR of the season 

[AngelsFaninGA]

Really? Pulling Ohtani with 92 pitches with this bullpen?

[Swordsman78]

Here we go......

I wanted Ohtani to keep going too, but if we are going to the pen Quijada to Estevez is the only acceptable option at this point so I think Nevin is still on the right track

It’s so weird getting those results since it doesn’t feel like he’s had his good command at all this season. 

[Jason]

That last pitch looked like a strike

[HeavenlyHalos]

oh fuck off ump

I thought it was a perfect pitch. 

[Kampy]

Lakers playing like the Angels did last night (bad)

Yep. 12 BB in 19 innings.  I'm guessing that he'll walk fewer moving forward, but that more hits will start falling in.

[Jason]

Quijada doing his job. Nice to see 

[jsnpritchett]

Quijada laughs at the doubters.

Where is @Angel Oracle when the team does well? 

Check the previous pages, one of the few to post the first few innings.
