I say wtf I have to say I don't give 2 shits if you agree or not. Sorry I am not pussy dude is Trash he shit on the Angels 

[zenmaster]

I will root he implodes in the playoffs along with Kershaw. 

[Duren, Duren]

I think it will be a much needed lesson for baseball if he fails spectacularly. The imbalance between teams is becoming extreme because of money. 

The Dodgers have been respected for smart management. Trades and their farm system have been the backbone of their success. But being greedy and going into unprecedented free agent spending on Ohtani deserves karmic payback. It also contradicts what their philosophy stood for. 

I appreciated what Ohtani did on the field as a player. But never felt comfortable about the preferential treatment he got. 

He was a silent prima Donna. It was always about him and his well strategized career goals first. The team was just the supporting cast. When it came out how he mapped out the different stages and goals he wanted to achieve as he got older there was nothing about 'team' in there. Any team. Just personal  career and life objectives. And it will be intriguing watching how the Dodger organization and players adapt with him now. It will be a big change in team chemistry. 

Realistically I think he'll continue to put up big numbers as a slugger. But it's a different league now, with less familiarity. 

His two way play is really what his identity is about. But by the time he pitches, he will have been with the Dodgers for a year, and who knows what will happen before he throws his first pitch in 2025. The novelty of him as a Dodger will be over. And anything less than a championship will be a disappointment. That's the reason they got him. Other than off field income generation. 

I think it would be more fun watching him fail (as a ball player)  and have to deal with different media and people he never had to before. 

I also would like the history books to show that his best years were with the Angels.

I wish Shohei well.  Also, I don’t give a shit about him anymore.  Not my problem.  Fuck off imo.

The bitterness runs deep!

I do agree with this but I dont wish him ill will. His best years may be what he has already accomplished which is A LOT. He doesnt look as good in Dodger blue as Angel red (just saying). The only time I will root for him and the Dodgers is when they are playing an AL West team or AL Wild Card team. Definitely enjoyed him while he was here. I don't think the criticism is necessarily fair that the Angels didnt match the offer...not too many teams could or should.

[70runner]

He's arguably the most talented baseball player on the planet.  He did what hundreds of talented FA's did before him, selected the highest bid.  I wish him well and hope he recovers to pitch again.  I will not root for his team.

[Torridd]

No way.

[thebloob]

I hope we become like cardinals fans when pujols signed with the angels.  Really angry but then thanking their lucky stars that they did not win the bidding wars. 

[Taylor]

Not too many simps in this thread. You love to see it.

[nothing, Nothing]

Ippei > Ohtani  , always has been

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I hope he hits .230 and the dodgers fans pull their hair out.  Other than that, I don’t care.  

[Tank]

yes, sort of. i hope he continues to do historic things but that the dodgers don't win squat.

[Anthony Tendon]

Fuck him, could have easily stayed and had a hand at building something spectacular. Sold out to the dogs.

No. He's just another player to me now. I'll laugh if he fails though. 

[REDneck]

Why would y'all root against perhaps the best baseball player of all time?

Do you not want to see him self actualize all of his potential from a impartial point of view as a baseball fan. He had perhaps his best years with the Halos.

I don't think he owed the Angels a damn thing...if the Angels were just flat out a better organization in a better place,  than he may have signed with them.

The Halos are not that team, just let him go and let him create his legacy.

And yes get paid a fuck ton of money....stop hating because he didn't pull a Jered Weaver or Tim Salmon. He's far from either of those guys.

That always works when your ex is now dating a more successful guy that is a jerk. Especially when they pull up in a Ferrari and your still driving a Chevey Malibu with engine problems and needs a paint job.

If Shohei played ISIS, I'd root for ISIS
