Ohtani&Trout

Rojas and Gubi are criticizing Malo's pitch call.

Ohtani
vs LH - .148
vs RH - .325

would love to be wrong in this one situation though!

Ohtani's splits look real - lefties are giving him a really hard time so far 

Why swing at the first pitch? Cycle gone. 

He's obsessed with his K rate but doesn't mention that he also walks a lot and hits for power and hits everything hard (and has and will have a high BABIP).

read his post history before you assume I'm just overreacting to one thing he says. He constantly bitches about Maldonado's framing only when Ohtani pitches, Scioscia's managing saying "Ohtani deserves a real manager", he disappears the days Ohtani doesn't play. I have a problem with people that support people based on race because it's not ok if I went a game and had a sign that said 
 
"Mike Trout - the White Prodigy" but every other race can have signs that are race based on Dominican/Japanese/etc.

I'm not hating lol, when 90% of a poster's history is making fun of Calhoun/Pujols/Scioscia/Maldonado's framing and praising Ohtani then I'm just calling out the truth. Go to the first page of his posts and then it becomes clear that the dude is not an Angels fan

are you Asian? You're entire post history is Ohtani. It's so obnoxious that you're trying to play identity baseball with Ohtani like black people did with Obama.
this is why I laugh at the libtards/double standards and proudly support Trump/Spencer/Duke/Carlson, I love Ohtani but seeing the camera constantly showing asians blindly supporting him just bc he's asian after every hit is seriously annoying.

Ohtani's K'ing at over 25%

Ohtani the walk machine. His OBP is now almost 90 points higher than his BA, despite not getting hit by a pitch thus far.

Why is Cam Bedrosian still on this team.
Must be Scisocia.
FUCK

It's Scioscia's job to put the team in the best possible position to win, and he has failed to do so. This team has lost so many winnable games when Scioscia puts the likes of Bedrosian in close games. Giving Calhoun almost everyday PAs for 2 months despite an OPS under .400 is another huge reason why this team is underperforming. Batting Pujols 4th is another reason. Etc. etc.
The only silver lining to the Angels missing the postseason is that Scioscia's reign of terror will end.

Lack of talent?  Kinsler has no talent? Cozart? Upton? or how about the trio of Trout, Ohtani, and Simmons who are three of the best players in baseball and yet it's the same excuses every year.
Angels can sign Machado AND Harper next year and Scioscia will still find a way to lose but it's not Scioscia, it's the lack of talent lol. No it's the horrible manager.

No one is putting a gun to Scioscia's head and forcing him to play Calhoun everyday, or put Pujols in the clean up spot, or bring in Bedrosian in a close game.
Stop with the excuses and fire his ass already.

As long as people are posting negative stuff in this thread, I'd like to point out that JD Martinez is having a better season than Upton and so far, his contract is looking better than Upton's. Since they signed a similar deal, I am comparing them because the Angels could have went with Martinez instead. Right now, the Red Sox made the better choice.

Manager pulls pitcher after damage is done. Classic. Never gets old.

Maldonado is catching, too.  I don't think he's very comfortable with Maldonado catching him.

shohei's performance looks amazing next to shitrosian's BS!

let's see here, no posts the last few game threads w/ no Ohtani playing but spamming this thread with your passive aggressive nonsense. 
you want Ohtani's stats and status to be the best it can be over all the other 24 players, you don't care about this team so gtfo,
 

Yes, other than the fact that Maldonado has caught him every game except one.

Ohtani is not a pitch-to-contact kind of guy. He needs to use his stuff to generate strikeouts, not contact. 

Albert comes through!
