Gameday Thread: (7/27/23 Game 1 10am Pacific) Angels @ Tigers: Ohtani on the mound

[gurn67]

Unless his blister starts flaring up, I don't think there's any way Ohtani will come out of this game if he has a 1-hitter going.

At this point, I'd say there is zero chance he'll do a deal before he hits free agency.

Well, then let's make the maximum effort to keep him here.

Get it done, Arte. Best player ever.

Shohei walks the leadoff batter.

What a freaking beautiful start for Ohtani at a time the team needed it most!

I was out of the loop last night and this morning, setting up a new tablet (Lenovo P 12 Pro) and totally missed the trade news. Going all in. More to come?

I would think one more reliever, possibly.  Like others I’d like to see another catcher and a 1b with an OPS over .800.

 Bad part of a dbheader is Estevez unavailable for two games

[gurn67]

Popping up on the first pitch really helped keep his pitch count down.

[eligrba4ever]

97 pitches after 8 with a biggish lead, Does Sho finish this?

They shouldn't need him in Game 1 so this post is confusing to me

Duality of man

He isn't needed for today's first game. 

[Blarg]

Ohtani hits like a pitcher today but pitches like Cy Young.

Why wouldn’t Estevez be available today? They were off Monday, pitched Tuesday, off Wednesday, and hopefully won’t be needed in this game

With no Db header, he would  have been available tonight.

I think farm fan forgot about yesterdays rainout.

An Ohtani CG would be the best possible way to start a doubleheader today. Give the bullpen a huge break.

Decent outing from Ohtani today

I am off to enjoy the dentist at 2. When does game 2 start?

I wanna give Perry Minasian some props...

From my (amateur) perspective, he seems to be a mover and a shaker, not afraid to make moves and change things up when he feels like they're not working. 

Not all of his moves have worked out, but if you wanna get hits, you gotta take swings, and it feels like Perry is up there hackin' away and getting good contact more often than not.

His style as a GM seems to match the style of the young players he's put on the field, like Zach, Mickey, Ben Joyce, etc... inexperienced, but confident and aggressive and not afraid to mix it up with the big boys.

Keep hackin' away Perry!
