Uh are quite capable (and already have) torpedo'ing ourselves.

Should honestly be a sweep for the Angels. Two teams trending in different directions.

Ohtani has been human as a pitcher this year, should be a good game tonight and a good series.

[fan_since79]

Well, Rendon should be well rested at least.

Shit, well looks like we're gonna have to run Jack Mayfield out there...

 

Oh wait.

Radio night!

Go Halos!

Ohtani's sweeper is simulated on the supercomputers. 

(Link in Japanese, Aoki Lab. Tokyo Institute of Technology) 

Supercomputer clarification of pitcher Shohei Ohtani's "Sweeper" 

At his typical sweeper pitch speed of 85 mph and spin speed of 2590 rpm, with the spin axis tilted 50° to 60° toward the hitter (rolling efficiency 50% to 65%), the motion of the simulated ball changed significantly horizontally and also floated vertically. The simulation results match the longitudinal and lateral displacement distributions of his sweeper published in Statcast.

(Movie 1, NHK)  Vortex generated by the ball and state of wake (Simulation at tilt 53°, 85mph, rotation speed 2590 rpm, viewed from the side)

(Movie 2, NHK)  Simulated air stream (From the pitcher's side)

As seen from the pitcher's side, there is a constant air stream pushing out from behind the ball in the direction from bottom right to top left.

Hope this isn't a lingering problem. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Come Ohtani no more walks.

[Biergott]

That sweeper sure seems to leave the park often

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

He just doesn't learn

[Swordsman78]

You CANNOT throw sweepers to lefties. 

[Biergott]

No command, and only throwing 94 on the fastballs.  What’s going on?

[Biergott]

This is terrible

[Lou]

It's not even fun watching him pitch any more. 

[Tank]

Ohtani just hasn’t been very good in the first inning.
