I bet his filling in of the blanks doesn’t tell us anything we already don’t know.

Sayonara Ohtani-san.  Wish we could’ve seen you off properly.  Wish we could’ve watched you play your last game knowing it was your last.  This is beyond shitty.  What a terrible ending.  Fuck this movie.

[Turd Ferguson]

And just like that, the Ohtani era ends in a whimper.

Stay Sho Stay night has been canceled.

Did the Angels make the decision to place him on the IL or did Ohtani say “put me on the IL” ???

I mean this isn't really surprise, there no reason for Othani to even play at this point. he has the MVP locked, just get the surgery and get ready for next. it's quite simple.

This should have happened a week ago. 

[Angels 1961]

The Ippei era is over in Anaheim.

Yep. Eliminated from division. Any day now, eliminated from wild card.

We might win 4 of these final 14 games.

Crappy end to his Angels career if he does move to a new team.

Me, too.

Assuming Trout and Rendon are also out for the season, the three of them have appeared in an average of 86.7 games this year, or 53.5% of 162.

No need to worry, Anthony Rendon will return soon to lead the Angels to the playoffs

Season saved!

Ohtani out for the rest of his ANGELS career.

I don't see him playing another game in a Halos uni

[Sully151]

Just think, in a few weeks, we will find out a fifth doctor will say he somehow fractured his oblique.

[FromJapan]

Angels games will continue to be available for streaming also in Japan, but the number of Japanese viewers is likely to drop significantly. If Ohtani moves to another team, NHK will likely focus on broadcasting his new team.
