Did I just hear “The Moose is Loose”?

Shohei is now 2nd in the majors with 3.8 fWAR as a hitter - despite being a DH. Add in his 1.9 as a pitcher and he's at 5.7 overall. Acuna is 2nd at 4.3.

That’s nuts… I don’t know how many people realize how nuts that is

[T.G.]

You know what’s amazing? The Angels have yet to play in an ESPN Sunday night game. How is Ohtani not on that schedule?

Nicely done, Velazquez. Please drive him in

Is he leading the club in SB already?

He's rewriting the history books.

Ohtani is STFU great

[HeavenlyHalos]

Damn, tough break for Renfroe

[totdprods]

I have to say, part of me wants to see Shohei as an Angel for life so bad that I almost don’t even care if the contract prohibits them from being competitive.

He is just ridiculous to watch. It’s truly insane. The dude just struck out 10 and hits 100 and popped two HRs. When he’s on, it’s really as entertaining as a winning team.

Need another run.

1-10 with RISP tonight. Thankfully, Ohtani exists.

Sunday July 16th vs Astros. (ESPN just added it about a week ago.)

He's beyond exciting and exponentially increases fan excitement, and profits when all is said and done.

Arte needs to back up the truck and make him an offer he would be foolish to refuse. 

The time is now!!

Dear Angels Bullpen,

Don't fuck this up tonight..  Please.

Respectfully,

God

I wish my parents were still alive to see Ohtani

ESPN has really gone down hill

That’s the Devenski we saw before the previous 3 appearances!

Great job!

[eligrba4ever]

Devensky back on track!!! Must be the hospital kids' autographs on his arm.

I’m so happy my dad, myself, my family, and my grandkids have all got to see Ohtani play.

The same goes for Mike Trout.  I will always give Trout the props he deserves for so many years of Angels enjoyment with my family.

He has harnessed the power of kids with cancer in his arm

Know what you mean...

Lost my Dad in May of 21... one of the last good memories I have with him was watching that Sunday night game against the White Sox when Ohtani crushed that one. 

My Dad was really sick, but that lit him a bit. He was real excited to see Ohtani that year...

Funny you mention that, because I think of that a lot.
