They promised him an all you can eat buffet if he got through5 innings giving up less than 3 runs.

Tellez had given him a tip on the best local buffet

Great way to end a series, and a pretty brutal 17 day stretch.

Now they can relax and enjoy a day off.

I suggested it and got shit on by multiple posters about being a dumbass for even thinking about something like that.

Who was the moron that went on and on that Neto wasn't a good choice for leadoff?

When your OBP was predicated by getting hit by pitches it’s not a good idea to assume continued success in the OBP department. Coming into today he had zero walks.  Now his walk rate after today is 2%, which is bad. Fletcher who is awful at drawing walks, walks at 3-4%.  As @Blarg pointed out, with each time he’s hit with a pitch the better chance he gets injured, unlike drawing a walk. This is common sense.

It would be anyone who looks at his OBP and think it means something right now.

Ohtani!  Wow!

The hangtime of Ohtani's home run was the longest in MLB this season, 6.98 seconds. "Big Fly, Ohtani-san"

Added: News flash on NHK (Japan's public broadcaster) at 7:00 in the morning.  

NHK will rebroadcast this game from 9:00 AM Japan time.

Hat Man did look good today with HR hat. Oh, Moniak 4 for 5 today with 2 more HR's. 

[Angels 1961]

Is Philips supposed to be used for his defense? Why was he not in game today?
