He's not injured. That's cause for celebration and cautious optimism. The numbers will come.

He doesn’t have a new injury, that’s good.  Is he fully recovered from previous injuries would be questionable.

[REDneck]

Maybe the bullpen is rounding into shape..hopefully!

And I really hope that's not a jinx.

So at this point AR is the biggest question mark on the team, moreso than Ward.

Will he stay healthy and will he produce? Critical to the success of this team.

With that said currently his OBP is good, he's clutch, and for a few exceptions recently plays a good 3B defense.

Another positive is that the Angels did not waste an Ohtani start with an "L".

Maybe?   Dude.  Give them some credit.  They've been blanking teams lately.  Tops in the majors over that time period.

I think I gave them some credit!

Slow your roll dude!

Ohtani wasted his own start, the team bailed his ass out.

Rendon is hitting .291 with an OBP in the top ten in the league at .418.  Let’s hope the power comes back. I read a tweet that his EV is trending up of late.

With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out, the hitter you would want to see the most at the plate in this lineup is Rendon IMO.

Rendon w/LAA since 2020-23(4year totals): $130M pocketed, .252 BA, 20HR, 102RBI. "Pujols Part Deux"

Rendon is making the Pujols signing look like a great one.

Whoever posted that should have been paying closer attention -- he's been posting a near career high exit velocity all season, his launch angle had been near a career low -- now it's back to his career average, EXACTLY his career average.

Entering today's game his average exit velocity was sitting at 91.0 -- the best it's been since 2016.

Dude is posting elite performances in five offensive categories and the low barrel numbers are indicative of how he kept topping balls early on.

Last 14 games he's gone .294/.429/.392
Last 10 games he's gone .371/.522/.486

He's one of the last people on the team fans need to be worrying about.

[Stradling]

He’s been on base three times today.  

[Blarg]

Takes walks like a champion.

Bro.... That may be the greatest quote here ever, particularly when you consider it's likely verbatim.  You win at the internet.

I’d be more impressed if I didn’t know you just hit the quote button.

Google translate running in the background.

[Erstad Grit]

Feels like he's making elite plays at 3B while booting some routine ones.

All things considered he's outplaying my expectations right now. 

[Docwaukee]

It's probably because he's getting appropriate rest.

Agree, Hopefully with Rendon and Trout getting the NBA / load management treatment hopefully they'll avoid the DL this season.

Fingers crossed.    

[gurn67]

7 RBI's in his last 6 games hitting .474 with an on base pct. of .630 with 6 walks and 1, yes 1, strikeout. In a team filled with free swingers it's nice to watch.

Rendon's also batting .375 with an on base pct. of .538 with runners in scoring position this season. That's what professional hitters do.

Ohtani is .353 and .425.

Trout's been awful so far with RISP .222 & .313.

This response on Twitter must have been @Taylor disguised as an Asian dude.
